If you want us to create the artwork for your legal corners you need to supply us with your logo file which you can upload at the checkout.
LOGOS
Please supply a high quality logo (logos taken from website are usually low quality, RGB colour scheme and not usually suitable for printing).
If you supply a low resolution or low quality logo it will have an impact on the final print quality. Low quality logo files can often appear blurred or pixelated when printed.
It often depends on the file type but as a rough guide - low resolution logos are small in size e.g. 10KB. Better quality logos are well over a 100KB often hundreds of KB.
LOGO FILE TYPES
We accept most file types (jpegs, png, pdf, svg, eps and ai). Our preferred option is .eps or .ai files as these give us more flexibility when adding your logo to our legal corners.
We need the logo as a file on its own. Please don't send Word documents or Powerpoint Presentations with your logo placed inside these documents.
Matt lamination is a process where paper is covered with a matt plastic coating. This can be applied to one side or both. We coat both sides of our legal corners to ensure the best finish.
This protects the ink and the paper with a waterproof coating AND adds a quality feel to our legal corners.
You might have noticed that other suppliers charge extra for this coating but we feel its important and have therefore included it within our prices.
We have 2 levels of design. As standard we provide FREE design unless you tell us you want something extra.
FREE DESIGN
We will add your logo to our templates plus your website address (if necessary) and send you a proof.
ADDITIONAL DESIGN
If you want to explore different design options, different colours, add additional information such as extra offices, telephone numbers etc we can do that but as this is more involved we charge £25 for this service.
Remember there isn't much space so sometimes less information is better.
If you are still not sure why you might need legal corners, hopefully this will help.
They are usually referred to as legal corners but also called document corners or document triangles. They are small pieces of card that wrap around documents, usually in the top left corner. They are used to keep important documents intact and provide protection to the document.
We specialise in personalised printed corners which has the added benefit of reinforcing your branding.
As the name suggests they are often used in the legal sector but increasingly professional companies of all kinds are using document corners including Solicitors, Barristers, Accountants, IFAs, Estate Agents, Architects and Insurance Companies.
They can be used by any business and are often used on company quotes, reports, surveys, legal documents, contracts and tender documents to help your business stand out in a crowded market place.
If you aren't in the print industry or don't order print regularly these numbers probably don't mean much to you. Basically these numbers refer to the weight and ultimately thickness of the paper or card.
We have experimented with different paper weights and can print, fold and cut into a variety of thickness. The temptation is to think that thicker card provides a better product but this isn't always right.
Things to consider:
- We don't believe that anything above 350gsm card is appropriate for legal corners and in fact we prefer to use thinner card than this.
- Thick card makes stapling harder. For example if a staple has to go through a 350gsm card plus your document this can be an issue.
- Thicker card makes folding more difficult. Legal corners printed on thick card naturally want to spring open much more than thinner card.
- Cracked print and card along the spine can be an issue. This becomes even more of a problem with thick 350 card. One way to avoid this is to matt laminate the thicker card but this simply makes your legal corner more rigid, harder to fold and harder to staple.
For the reasons above we have decided to print onto great quality 300gsm card and matt laminate both sides as standard. The matt laminate adds strength, protects the corners, prevents cracking along the spine and we genuinely believe that this provides a superior product.
If you would prefer another thickness simply let us know during the checkout process.
