The Most Commonly Asked Questions

What is UV coating? How is it different from matte?2026-03-12T19:41:27+00:00

Ultra violet coating (UV coating) is featured on the front of business cards and postcards from Spotlight Strategies. UV coating is a high-gloss liquid compound coating that is dried with ultraviolet light. The UV finish enriches the vibrancy of colors and the crispness of text and logo designs, and it also serves as a protective layer that is resistant to tearing, smudging, scratching or corner bending.

The soft matte finish on the back is subtle and smooth – which is easy to write on if needed.

What are Pantone colors?2026-03-12T19:35:14+00:00

Pantone colors refer to the Pantone Matching System (PMS), a color matching system used by the printing industry whereby printing colors are identified by a unique name or number (as opposed to just a visual reference). This helps make sure that colors turn out the same from system to system, and print run to print run.

What is halftone printing?2026-03-12T19:34:47+00:00

Halftone printing converts a continuous tone (solid areas of black or color) photograph or image into a pattern of different size dots that simulate continuous tone. When examining the page closely, you will see a series of dots spaced slightly apart. At a normal viewing distance, however, the spacing between dots becomes essentially invisible to the eye and what you see is a continuous tone.

What is color separation?2026-03-12T19:34:21+00:00

Color separation is the process of separating a colored graphic or photograph into its primary color components in preparation for printed reproduction. For example, to print a full color photo with an offset printing press, we would create four separate printing plates each accounting for one of the four basic printing inks (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) needed to reproduce the image.

As the paper is fed through the press, each single-color plate puts onto the paper the exact amount of ink needed at exactly the right spot. As the different colored wet inks are applied, they blend together to create the rich and infinite pallet of complex colors needed to reproduce the original image.

What does camera ready mean?2026-03-12T19:33:54+00:00

In the digital age of printing, it means that an image file submitted for printing is ready to be transferred to the printing plates without any alterations.

What is the difference between coated and uncoated paper stock?2026-03-12T19:33:29+00:00

Uncoated stock paper is comparatively porous and inexpensive, and is typically used for such applications as newspaper print and basic black-and-white copying. Coated stock, by contrast, is made of higher quality paper having a smooth glossy finish that works well for reproducing sharp text and vivid colors. It tends to be more expensive, however.

What are the different grades of paper and their respective basis weight?2026-03-12T19:33:05+00:00

The basis weight of a given grade of paper is defined as the weight (in pounds) of 500 standard-sized sheets of that paper. With that in mind, here are different examples of paper grades and their respective basis weights:

Bond: Most commonly used for letterhead, business forms and copying. Typical basis weights are16# for forms, 20# for copying and 24# for stationery.

Text: A high-quality grade paper with a lot of surface texture. Basis weights range from 60# to 100# with the most common being 70# or 80#.

Uncoated Book: The most common grade for offset printing. Typically 50# to 70#.

Coated Book: Has a glossy finish that yields vivid colors and overall excellent reproduction. Basis weights range from 30# to 70# for web press, and 60# to 110# for sheet press.

Cover: Used in creating business cards, postcards and book covers. Can be either coated or uncoated. Basis weights for this grade are 60#, 65#, 80# or 100#.

What is a proof and why is it needed?2026-03-12T19:32:34+00:00

A proof is a one-off copy of your printed document used for visual inspection to ensure that the layout and colors of your document are exactly how they are intended to be. A proof is made prior to sending the document to the press for final printing.

Typically, we will produce a proof that will be sent to you online in PDF format or on printed paper, which can be either viewed in our store or delivered to you in person. For multiple-color jobs, we can produce a proof on our output device to show you how the different colors will appear on the final product.

Your approval on the final proof is the best assurance you have that every aspect of our work and your own is correct, and that everything reads and appears the way you intended. Mistakes can and sometimes do happen. It benefits everyone if errors are caught in the proofing process rather than after the job is completed and delivered.

How well will what I see on my monitor match what I see on paper?2026-03-12T19:32:08+00:00

The technology of design, layout and printing has come a long way to the point where much of the work is done in a WSYWIG (What You See Is What You Get) digital environment. However, there are sometimes noticeable differences in color calibration and spatial conformity from monitor to monitor and consequently from screen to print.

The process for minimizing any variance begins with adjusting your monitor for optimal color and clarity according to the manufacturer’s recommendations as outlined within its product manual or website. Doing this will alleviate a number of potential issues.

Beyond that, for the greatest conformity in color from screen to print, there are tools available that will ensure exact color calibration. Perhaps you have already invested in such a tool. If so, let us know what you use and we’ll work with you to achieve the best results. If you are considering investing in a color calibration tool, talk to us first and we’ll be happy to offer our advice.

What is the best file format for submitting a document for printing?2026-03-12T19:31:38+00:00

The Portable Document Format (PDF) is generally the preferred file format for submitting a document for printing as it works with virtually all professional printing and digital output devices. By design, a PDF file incorporates the information needed to maintain document consistency from system to system. Most other file formats such as Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Microsoft Word are easily converted to PDF format.

Why do companies need uniforms?2026-03-12T19:26:44+00:00

Companies large and small and in countless industries have had to consider uniforms for their employees at one point or another. For most businesses that have given it some thought, it becomes an easy decision as the reasons for company uniforms are hard to argue against.

  • Safety: Whether your employees work indoors or outdoors, uniforms are more than just advertising and appearance, and they can keep your employees safe. Employees who work alongside the road need high visibility attire to keep them from getting hit by cars. In restaurants, aprons and other uniform pieces can be distinguished by individual food stations or areas within the restaurant to prevent cross-contamination. Even something as simple as providing your employees with short sleeve tops can prevent clothing from getting caught in equipment.  
  • Brand awareness: Businesses invest a great deal in their storefronts to ensure that the environment communicates one cohesive brand identity. When employees wear clothing that does not match or does not fit that brand identity, it can take away from that cohesion. 
  • Improves Customer Service and Employee Performance: By asking employees to wear a company uniform, you do not just maintain consistency with your brand, you also help employees feel like a part of your business. When employees feel like they are a part of your business, they are more likely to perform better. Better employee performance is always a benefit.

  • Brand Ambassadors that Offer Free Advertising: When your employees wear your company uniform, they are brand ambassadors for your business which makes company uniforms an easy way to extend brand awareness. There’s no better way to advertise your company! 
  • Ease: Company uniforms make it easy for employees to get ready for work and they will not have to spend extra money on work attire. Additionally, employers do not have to worry about addressing workplace attire concerns. 
How do I make a corporate shirt?2026-03-12T19:25:41+00:00

What are the benefits of school uniforms?2026-03-12T19:08:29+00:00

Across the country, many schools and school districts have opted to institute school uniforms for their students in Pre-K through 12th grade. Consider these benefits of school uniforms as you give thought to whether uniforms are a good solution for your student body.

  • Equality: Some students go home to mansions, while others go home to meager living conditions. Uniforms create a reality where children are not judged by their socio-economic status, appearances, or possessions. This facilitates more attention spent on ensuring the academic, socio-emotional, and physical needs of every student are met. 
  • School spirit/school identity: Much like in the workforce, uniforms help students feel united and strengthen school spirit. From brandishing school colors to displaying school mascots, uniforms can help students feel accepted and proud of their school. 
  • Security: Uniforms help keep school campuses secure. Should an intruder enter a school campus, their apparel would stand out against students’ uniforms and communicates that this person is a stranger and possible threat. Additionally, school personnel such as security guards or student resource officers can also wear uniform shirts or IDs to assist students in knowing which adults to speak to should they need help.

How do I mount my sign?2026-03-12T18:45:11+00:00

There are many ways, but they typically fall into seven categories:

  • Attached to a wall or door by countersunk screws or bolts through the face, threaded studs embedded in the back of the sign or plaque, Z-clips (thin aluminum French cleats), glue, or hanging from a screw or nail  
  • Hard-mounted to a single wrought iron or wood post using a special custom steel bracket (single-faced and double-faced signs;
  • Hard-mounted between two wood posts (single or double-faced signs) using steel flat bar side brackets
  • Hanging from two chains or rigid steel struts connected to a transverse wood beam mounted  between two iron or wood posts (single or double-faced signs)
  • Hanging from two chains on an projecting iron or wood bracket mounted on a wall (i.e., called a blade sign) or a single wood post (usually double-faced signs)
  • Mounted on a concrete, stone, brick or wood base fixed to ground (single or double-faced signs), usually  referred to as monument signs
  • Mounted on a flat or sloped roof with a wood frame attached to the roof.

 Smaller signs (6 inches to 2 ft wide) use methods (1) , (2) , (5) and (6); larger signs (3 ft to 10 ft wide) can use methods (1), (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7). The largest signs (6 to 20 ft in width) use methods (1), (3), (4), (6) and (7). 

What font styles should I select?2026-03-12T18:44:43+00:00

The font style should be selected on the basis of its visibility, readability, and consistency with the overall style of the sign. Generally signs are most readable when san-serif font styles such as Arial, Helvetica, Calibri and Verdana are used, often in Bold style. Italics and all-caps are less readable regular than upper/lower case text.

How should I select a color scheme?2026-03-12T18:44:19+00:00

Color scheme depends upon the purpose of the sign, the color of the building or background it is viewed against, and the style you are trying to convey. Colors can range from bright and even garish for businesses that want to be noticed (i.e., storefronts, night clubs, toy stores), to natural colors such as tan, brown and green (parks, golf courses, cabins),to elegant and rich-looking colors such as metallic gold, dark(royal) blue, bright (royal) red, and white to marine colors like gray, blue, and green. In all cases , select colors for text that have good color contrast with the background, so the sign can be easily read.

What are some considerations in selecting design features for my sign?2026-03-12T18:43:55+00:00

Your design selections will be made on a combination of:

  • Viewer requirements (readability and attention-getting, which determines sign size and mounting, text size, layout, and font style and color)
  • The message you want to convey, and finally  
  • The style you want to convey (formal, elegant, playful, rustic, western, nautical, natural, casual, exciting, boisterous, comic , etc.).

The style for a up-scale restaurant will be different from that of a dude ranch, a night club, or an auto supply store. If you have a logo or crest, you may want to incorporate this into the design.

What criteria should I use to select a shape?2026-03-12T18:43:30+00:00

Shape is mostly a question of style and the message you want to display.

  • Simple, rectangular sign
  • Ornate (decorative) sign
  • Dimensions: wide and short or narrow and tall, or in between
  • Visual impact: Stand out or naturally blend into the background (like park and golf course signs)
  • Design elements: elegant shape or strong, bold shape
How big should my sign be?2026-03-12T18:43:05+00:00

Sign size can be determined by either (1) limitations due to sign mounting or installation, or (2) requirements for viewing.

  • Signs mounted on a front door should be quite small (typically 12 to 8 inches wide, and 6 to 8 inches high.).
  • Signs mounted on a wall outside your door can be a bit larger (up to 16 inches wide).
  • Signs mounted on a separate, larger wall (like as restaurant sign), to be viewed by pedestrians, can be from 16 to 30 inches wide and 10 to 16 inches high, depending on how far away it is viewed (i.e. across a lawn or right next to a sidewalk).
  • Signs mounted on a single post for close pedestrian viewing are typically 16 inches wide and 10 inches high.
  • Signs hung from an overhead projecting hanger (blade sign) should be at least 18 inches wide, up to 48 inches, since they will of necessity be viewed from 20 to 50 feet away.
  • Signs mounted on double posts, that may be viewed from a slow-moving car, should be from 22 to 48 inches wide.
  • Signs that are viewed from more than 50 feet away from a faster-moving car should be 4 to 14 ft in width .
Does my vehicle need to be clean before installation?2026-03-12T18:42:37+00:00

Yes, we require all vehicles to be free of all major dirt and debris.

Am I just limited to solid color graphics?2026-03-12T18:42:12+00:00

No, we can completely customize your wall graphics with color and different finishes of vinyl. Translucent, gloss, and metallic finishes are only the beginning!

Do I need to allow paint to dry before applying vinyl wall graphics?2026-03-12T18:41:46+00:00

All paints need to dry for at least 5 days to ensure long term adherence.

Does the type of paint I use matter for wall graphics?2026-03-12T18:41:19+00:00

If you plan to paint and follow up with wall graphics let us know what type of paint you will be using. This will allow us to choose the correct vinyl for your application.

How quick is sign production time?2026-03-12T18:40:53+00:00

Typical production time is 5-7 business days. If installation is required other factors may have to be considered such as permits and/or mark dig sites.

What will my finished sign look like?2026-03-12T18:40:25+00:00

You will receive a proof and make changes before production occurs. (We can add the link to examples we have produced)

How do I care for my wrap?2026-03-12T18:39:38+00:00

We recommend hand washing your wrapped vehicle. We discourage the use of power washers and automatic carwashes because of high water pressure that can lift the edges and cause damage. Polishing regularly with a high quality polish is also suggested to retain a nice finish on the graphic.

Can I wrap a leased vehicle?2026-03-12T18:39:13+00:00

Yes, absolutely since the wrap can be removed without damaging the vehicle.

What if my company information changes, can it be replaced?2026-03-12T18:38:43+00:00

Yes, any part of the design can be changed and updated with a new printed section that will be installed on top of the existing wrap. Logos, phone numbers, web addresses can all be swapped out for updated information.

How long will the wrap last?2026-03-12T18:38:19+00:00

You can expect the vertical surfaces of your wrap to last 5 years or longer if cared for in our suggested manner. Horizontal surfaces are subjected to direct sunlight and heat and these areas will usually show deterioration first.

Will the wrap damage my paint?2026-03-12T18:37:54+00:00

No, when a vehicle wrap is installed correctly on factory paint that is in excellent condition, and then removed with care in the correct manner, it will not damage your OEM paint. It will actually protect your paint from scratches and sun damage during the duration it is on the vehicle.

Can the wrap be removed from my vehicle?2026-03-12T18:37:28+00:00

Yes, the wrap can be removed. It is printed on a high-performance material that has a removable adhesive. However, we do not recommend that you try to remove the wrap yourself. When you are ready, we suggest having our experts tackle that project for you.

Can the design continue over the windows on my vehicle?2026-03-12T18:36:59+00:00

Yes, but only on windows to the rear of the driver. This portion of the wrap is printed on a special perforated vinyl that allows the driver and passengers to see out of the vehicle.

Where is the wrap installed?2026-03-12T18:36:33+00:00

Vehicle wraps are installed at our indoor, climate controlled facility. This allows us to have access to all of our special equipment and also ensures a high quality installation. We also travel for wrap installations if required and travel fees may apply.

How long will you need my vehicle for installation?2026-03-12T18:35:59+00:00

Installation normally takes one to two days depending on the size of the wrap.

Do I have to wash my vehicle before installation?2026-03-12T18:35:35+00:00

No, we can completely customize your wall graphics with color and different finishes of vinyl. Translucent, gloss, and metallic finishes are only the beginning!

What is a partial wrap?2026-03-12T18:35:10+00:00

This approach is a combination of traditional cut vinyl with the added pop of impressive photographic capabilities of the digital world. Using less vinyl than the full wrap, the color of the vehicle is taken into consideration. Full, half or partial simply refers to the percentage of the vehicle that is covered. This option is ideal for companies with a set budget and provides great impact in a cost effective solution.

What is a full or complete wrap?2026-03-12T18:34:43+00:00

With a complete wrap, your vehicle will demand attention in any location. It doesn’t matter what angle it’s viewed from, all eyes will be drawn to it. It does not matter what color your vehicle is to start with. One of the best features of a complete wrap is that the design takes on a distinctive look of its own by incorporating the body style of the chosen vehicle. A vehicle is a unique 3D canvas that is always ready for display.

How is a vehicle wrap designed?2026-03-12T18:34:15+00:00

What is a vehicle wrap?2026-03-12T18:33:43+00:00

Do you still have my logo on file?2026-03-12T18:51:04+00:00

Yes.  We will always keep your logo on file. On reorders, you do not have to upload you logo again, as long as there are no color changes or edits. Otherwise, upload or email us your new logo.

How will you ship my order?2026-03-12T18:51:08+00:00

We ship most orders via UPS Ground and US Postal Service.

What are vector-based PDFs?2026-03-12T18:51:39+00:00

When uploading your product design, we recommend that your file is a vector-based PDF. Vector graphics are made up of thin lines and curves (“paths”) which can be scaled and resized without losing their quality. Text, logos and illustrations are typically created as vector graphics. By comparison, raster graphics (“bitmap” images) are made up of pixels, which lose their quality and appear grainy or pixelated when zoomed beyond 100%. Photographs are raster images. Vector graphics look clear and smooth at any resolution, ideal for print formats – particularly for large products like banners. If uploading raster images or files, ensure that they meet the recommended resolution for your product.

What types of files can I upload?2026-03-12T18:51:41+00:00

Spotlight Strategies supports the following file types: Print Quality PDF is preferred.  We also accept: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .tif, .tiff, .bmp, .eps, .ai, & InDesign  You can upload your files to: orders@spotlight-strategies.com

What is the status of my order?2026-03-12T18:51:43+00:00
When will I know my order is ready?2026-03-12T18:51:44+00:00

We’ll call or email you whichever you prefer when your order is complete.

What kind of artwork do you need?2026-03-12T18:51:44+00:00

Uncoated stock paper is comparatively porous and inexpensive, and is typically used for such applications as newspaper print and basic black-and-white copying. Coated stock, by contrast, is made of higher quality paper having a smooth glossy finish that works well for reproducing sharp text and vivid colors. It tends to be more expensive, however.

Will I see a proof before my order goes into production?2026-03-12T18:51:44+00:00

Yes! We will email you a proof of your item for approval before proceeding into production.

What are setup charges?2026-03-12T18:51:44+00:00

These are charges to create the screen, die or other necessary items to imprint your specific logo.

Keep in mind that if you ever place an exact reorder for the same item the setup fee is often reduced or waived.

What’s your turnaround time?2026-03-12T18:51:44+00:00

Standard: 7-10 business days. Many rush options are available.
