White Backup on Clear Material

When printed on clear material, we recommend backing the imprint with white for better readability. This can be done three ways: a halo around the image area (a small outline of white will show), slightly inside the image area (not available on small type or fine detail), or a white background. Please submit your artwork with a white plate for this white backing.
