LIST & PHOTO SUBMISSION (pdf)


Ordering Photo IDs

List Preparation

Lists must be prepared by the customer to our specifications. All names, titles, and other text that will be used in your order must be submitted in digital form. Coller Industries Inc. / Name Tag, Inc. does not accept submissions via fax or verbally over the phone.

Enter text EXACTLY as you want it to appear on your product, including upper / lower case letters and punctuation. Lists must contain all text to be engraved. For duplicate tags, enter the text twice.

Proofread carefully! Your list will be used to produce your product. Coller Industries Inc. / Name Tag, Inc. is not responsible for lists that are formatted incorrectly or contain errors.

Coller Industries Incorporated / Name Tag, Inc. will not edit your list. Lists not prepared to our specifications will be returned for correction, which may cause a delay in production.

A new list should be created for each line variation. For example, if you want some tags with one line and some with two lines, please submit two lists, each attached to a separate order. This will allow us to provide a more accurate quote for the cost of your order.

Entering or uploading a list directly on the order pages is fast, accurate and easy. You will be given the opportunity to review and approve your list during the process, which will allow your order to go to production quickly.

Preparing Your List of Names (Email or Upload)

Enter text EXACTLY as you want it to appear on your product, including upper/lower case letters and punctuation. For duplicate tags, enter the text twice. Long lines of text may be condensed to fit the available space.

Lists that are not entered directly on the order pages using the list application must be prepared to our specifications.

Do not format the list. (bold, italics, centering, etc.)

Do not embed your photo's in the list. They must be provided separately.

Please do not enter special characters into your list (accented letters), this information may be provided in the notes field on the order form.

Do not enter any additional information (quantities, fasteners, etc.) on these documents. This information will be entered into an appropriate field on the order forms or added to the notes field during the checkout process.

Submit a document file with your list of names.

DOCUMENT FILES (.txt, .doc, .docx, .odt, .pdf)

  • Begin entering the information for your list at the top of the page.
  • For tags with one line of text, enter information without leaving blank lines between tag information. If your tags have multiple lines of text, leave one blank line between each tag's information.
  • Remove any extra spaces at the end of the page.

SPREADSHEET FILES (.xls)

  • Begin entering the information for your list at the top of the sheet (Row 1, Column A).
  • All information for the product is entered on the same row. Each line of text to be added to your product is entered into an individual cell. Begin a new row for each item ordered.
  • Do not leave empty rows between items.
  • Note the Rows and Column used in your list as you will be asked for them when uploading the file.
Submit a document file with your list of names.

Preparing Your Photos

ACCEPTED FORMATS FOR PHOTOS: We will accept photos submitted in any of the following file formats: .jpg, .bmp, .png, .gif, .tif.

Photo files should be submitted separately from the name and title list (do NOT insert photos into a document file with the list).

Create one file for each entry on your list. File names should be the name of the person pictured, exactly as it will appear on the Photo ID.

These need to be high quality photos (300 dpi or better). Low quality photos will appear blurry or pixelated once printed. Use a good camera and proper lighting to ensure a high quality ID. Photos should be in focus. DO NOT CROP the images. Our designers will handle the cropping of each image to maintain a uniform appearance across all the photo IDs for your company.

For best results, try to take all employee photos with the same background and lighting. This will ensure a standard look for all of the photo IDs, and helps them to look more official and professional.

Photos will be used exactly as provided, no editing (other than cropping) or color-correction will be done. Make sure you are satisfied with all photos before submitting them. In most cases photos will be quite small, please consider this when choosing your photos.

Providing A Logo & Additional Artwork

ACCEPTED FORMATS FOR LOGOS: We will accept logos submitted in any of the following file formats: .eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf, .jpg, .bmp, .png, .gif, .tif.

High quality artwork is required (vector art or bitmap at 300 dpi). An image from the internet (usually .jpg, .png, .gif) saved at a resolution of 72 dpi may look great on your monitor, but will not print well. You can not improve the quality of the image simply by saving it with higher dpi settings. The image will have more dots per inch, but the quality will remain the same or even degrade further.

Unfortunately, we cannot consider faxes, photocopies, business cards, printed products, or photos of the above to be print-ready artwork. We can quote most jobs by using such artwork, but we cannot use this art for production. Artwork submitted must be PC compatible. If you want to submit files that have been created on Macintosh, please convert ALL text to curves and save it in a PC compatible format.

These need to be high quality photos (300 dpi or better). Low quality photos will appear blurry or pixelated once printed. Use a good camera and proper lighting to ensure a high quality ID. Photos should be in focus. DO NOT CROP the images. Our designers will handle the cropping of each image to maintain a uniform appearance across all the photo IDs for your company.

All art received by Coller Industries Inc. / Name Tag, Inc. must be in compliance with all trademark, copyright, patent or related laws or acts and are the responsibility of the customer. Each customer assumes full responsibility for all claims and/or litigation arising from alleged infringement of licenses, patents or copyrights on any requested design or copy.

If your logo uses specific PMS colors, please include the names of those colors. We will make reasonable efforts to match them. However, we are unable to guarantee color matching due to restrictions and limitations in the production processes.

Submit List and Photo Files

COMBINE SEVERAL FILES INTO A SINGLE ZIPPED FOLDER: One of the best ways to submit multiple files, or large files, is to "zip" them using a file compression software package. Most operating systems include a zipping utility with the operating system. Zipping a file or files has three major benefits:

  • The file size is generally reduced (results vary). This is because zipping is a type of file compression. The file is less likely to be too large to send and will transfer faster.
  • Files with the .zip extension are not executable, so nearly all spam filters will not block a file if it is zipped.
  • You can send multiple files by attaching a single .zip file to your email (which usually takes less time to send and recieve).

Group your files so that the finished zip file is smaller than 10MB. If your files are small you may be able to "Zip" them all into a single zip file. If your images are so large that a zip file with only one photo is larger than 10MB consider using whatever image editing software you might have access to, and resize the images to be smaller.

UPLOADING FILES WITH FTP: Contact Customer Service for access information to our FTP server.


Instructions On How to "Zip" a File

A ZIP file is simply a collection of one or more files and/or folders but is compressed into a single file for easy transportation and compression. For your convenience we have provided a link to a wiki artical that shows how to make zipped files on both Windows and Apple operating systems.
