To make your cartoon pictures really stand out, we use a few different supplies to create a high value finished product.  Everything listed below is included with your startup package.  Additional supplies maybe ordered at any time.

Mattes



These colored borders fit around the print.  Not only are they decorative but they increase the size of the print to fit an 8 X 10 frame.  We have mattes available in about 8 different colors.  The most popular colors are Dark Blue, Light Blue, Red, Green and Black.  Make sure you have more of these colors.  When we say that a “matted print” retails for $12.00 we are talking about printing out a picture and putting the matte over it with a cardboard backing sheet behind it.  Then you can put this into a plastic display bag shown below. 

Backing Sheets

A backing sheet is simply the brown piece of cardboard shown above.  Once you attach the matte to the print the backing sheet goes behind it.  This adds “stability” and gives the print a more substantial feel.  

Tip: Make sure you get labels made with your company name and phone number.  Put these on the backing so your customers will know who to call with re-orders.

Display Bags

These clear re-sealable bags are what you put the matted print into.  We suggest using them for display only to keep fingerprints off the prints.  However, many dealers give them to anyone who orders a matted print.  

Double Stick Tape

This easy to use tape adheres the print to the matte and backing sheet. A roll is included with your startup package but you can buy this at any office supply store.

 8 Page Color Brochures 

Brochures are an excellent way to generate repeat sales.  Make sure you print up some labels with your name, address and phone number to adhere to the back of the brochure.   However, remember that brochures alone are not a substitute for having a good display. 

We give them out to prospective customers who are really interested and also, we include one with every sale.  Many times, someone will take a brochure and 30 minutes later, show up with a bunch of additional orders.

So needless to say, they are a great sales too.
