Lets take it 1-inch at a time!

Here are the following guidelines at Belletristic Buttons to ensure a perfect order.

As with all technology oriented practices, we cannot gaurentee colour or size accuracy. However, it will look as it does when you send it to us when you get it back ,unless otherwise requested.

Please send your art:

File format: .psd* .png .jpg .zip for multiple files (*preferred if possible) CMYK colour preferred for colour accuracy
Dimensions: At least 300px X 300px and 300 dpi for best results
Click here to Download the Photoshop Template*

Instructions:

1. Face: The image you want on the button should be within the center circle. It is ok if some of the image leaks over, as it will wrap around the side of the button.
2. Bleed: The area between the darkest outer circle and center circle is the bleed area. This is the area that wraps around the side of the button.
3 & 4 Perimeter Text: This allows you to place a url or a message on the outer rim of the pin. Text size should be no larger than 5.5 pt or it may leak on the face of the button.


*If you would like to provide your own physical images please e-mail us for further directions.

We are getting things up and running here at Belletristic headquarters. We hope to get production going full tilt by the beginning of June. This will include an official etsy.com site for our designer buttons, a paypal account and official order form. At that time we will branch out our operations to serve the greater maritime region.

For now we are offering our Halifax friends the opportunity to get 10% off your order if you do the legwork. (Send us the design and pay upon pickup.)

If you want us to design your button there will be a $20 service charge for each design.

As always, we take things 1-inch at a time here at Belletristic HQ to ensure quality and accuracy.
