Parking Permits - Adhesive Back Custom printed parking permits are a great security measure for property
management professionals. Parking permits promote company branding and
they go hand in hand with employee identification. A parking permit
shows who’s vehicle should be on your property visually at a distance
with a glance of an eye.
So now that you are ready to start
shopping you need to narrow your choices down for the parking permit
you need. The main questions to ask are:
1. What type of parking
permit do you want or require? 2. What information needs to be on the
parking permit?
1.
What type of parking permit do
you need? This question can be answered by where
you want the parking permit displayed. A rearview mirror, on the inside
of a windshield, an exterior bumper or windshield. Easy viewing is the
main factor in this decision. If security for the parking permit
itself is a concern an inside installation may be preferable although
destructive materials are available that make it impossible to remove
the parking permit without destroying it.
2. What
information needs to be on the parking permit? A custom
printed parking permit can have anything you want printed on one or both
sides (in the case of a mirror hang tag). For starters you want some
company branding by putting your company logo on the front. Add a
sequential number if it will help in the organization of your parking
control program. We offer this service for free. An expiration date is desirable
in many cases for time sensitive situations and security measures.
So
there you have it. The benefits of security, company branding, and
identification are all there in your soon to be fresh off the press
parking permits. Let us help make your next custom printed parking permit buying experience a productive one.
PARKING PERMIT BUYING TIPS:
- More is less. Most minimum quantities are around 125 pieces.
If you can justify buying 250+ pieces the prices take a nose dive just
due to the nature of printing. Remember, it takes just as much setup
and preparation to print 125 parking permits as it does to print 1000
parking permits. Do the math, it pays to buy as much as you will use over time.
- Unless you are getting a four color process parking permit
for a set price per piece, additional colors cost more per permit.
- Usually the price listed for a custom printed parking permit
is for one color and additional colors cost more per parking
permit.
- You can do a lot with one color! Not only can you have
positive images and letters printed on the parking permit, but you can
also have negative images and lettering that show the white background
of the material. Get creative...
- It is always
best if you have what is called "vector artwork". If you have a
marketing department or firm that that your company uses they will have
this type of artwork on file for company logos. If you do not have
access to vector artwork for you logo then use the highest resolution
JPEG or GIF you can get you hands on. A 72dpi logo form the company
website does not work very well and may add to your cost with artwork
fees. Call us for help if you are not sure what you have.
- Stick with stock colors if you can for your parking permits.
If your company is a stickler about using Pantone Matching System (PMS)
colors for your logo your hands are tied and we can match any PMS color. But, be aware there are
extra fees for matching PMS colors. We have
stock colors that are probably very close to the color you need and it
will save money. Use the stock colors if you can for savings
- Keep your parking permit artwork as solid as possible. Avoid artwork that
has fading colors that go from solid to light or translucent. This
effect can be reproduced on a parking permit, but here again extra
"screen" charges will usually apply. Good solid line art is always the best for visibility and printing.
