FINAO will be happy to create a custom die from your logo for imprinting. We highly recommend you have a die made from your logo as it brands your products for you. Dies are great advertising for your business every time someone opens one of your albums. The standard charge for dies is $35.00 for a 2x2 inch die. $10.00 per additional inch will be added for larger dies.

Dies need to be made from clean, solid, black & white artwork. No shaded or screened areas can be included. Heavy black areas DO NOT imprint well and we recommend you use an outline for better results. Very fine lines and ornate type also DO NOT always imprint well. Dies that include phone numbers are not recommended as these can change, however, many logo dies now include a URL.

We will check your artwork before we send it off to be made into a die and let you know if we feel it will not imprint well. We can not guarantee, however, the results on any design.

You can order dies directly from our online ordering system and upload the artwork right with your order. You will be charged the basic $35.00 to start. Additional charges may be added to your credit card should your die be larger than the standard 2x2 inch size.
