When we finish your custom plaks using our wide variety of edge colors we will machine approx. 1/8” of material off your image on all 4 sides. Text such as names, important features such as people’s faces may be lost. We may oversize plaks before edging to minimize this lost where possible but will not guarantee that no loss will occur. When producing certificates or other artwork for SuperPlak try to avoid small borders or placing details close to the edge of the artwork. Similarly, if sending us files to be printed such as documents, allow extra to accommodate our edging process where possible. If sending files where trimming is required, please provide a trim line or box around your file, and make sure all crop marks and trim lines are visible. On pre-printed items trimming may be subject to a minimum surcharge of $5.00 per item.

Here is a small list: Child’s Art, Photographs, Awards, Certificates, Motivational Images, Educational Materials, POP Displays, Price-Lists and Menus, Architectural Displays, Signage, Maps and Charts, Coaches Gifts, Sponsor Plaks…and much more. Though SuperPlak is a great product, some things need to be avoided: Heat sensitive materials such as pastels, thermally printed documents such as receipts, some thermally printed event tickets, plastic materials, etc. Any product of a rare or irreplaceable nature such as old photographs, limited edition prints and any item that would lose value if altered should not be mounted or laminated in any way.
