Bee Logo

The website has a light and airy feel and navigation is clearly defined. Creating a card is a very painless process - visitors can hop and skip between background - text and layout until the card is to their liking.

The completed card is in the form of a simple image (shown) which can be saved with a right click and Save As.. Or right clicked and copy to paste directly into a new email signature within MS outlook or outlook Express The system will even email the card to the visitor if required.

Example Card

So what's the catch?

There is no catch, - it is hoped that some visitors happy with their free card will return to have a custom card made by the resident graphic designers. The custom created cards are very reasonably priced, well within everyone's budget.

Marketing and Brand recognition

Email business cards are both eye catching and a cheap and cheerful entry in to the world of brand rec nition. Marketing and Advertising professionals know: "every email recipient is just one click away from the website".. Bee Mail Cards are designed to make that click happen.

At 'Bitmap2Vector' we provide high quality raster to vector image conversions at affordable rates. All our vector conversions are manually hand drawn which will create a superior final graphic compared to using automated software.

We use Adobe Illustrator for all our work which is the industry standard software for this kind of vector illustrating. Your final graphic will be saved as an eps file although if you request it then we can save your artwork in other vector formats. Other popular vector formats are AI (Illustrator) and CDR (Coreldraw).

A bitmap, or raster image are made up of tiny pixels meaning they cannot be scaled up in size without the image quality suffering and becoming blurry.

A vector graphic is made up of individual scalable objects that are defined by mathematical equations which means they can be scaled up to any size and will always remain sharp.

Once your logo or graphic has been converted into a vector you will be able to use it for just about any use. For instance you could use it for stationery, signage, vehicle graphics, embroidery, badges, vinyl, clothing and just about everything else you can think of.

We have years of experience and have redrawn 1000's of company logos, although we don't just convert logos we can also redraw other graphic images.

We offer 100% guarantee. Once we have redrawn your artwork we'll send you a gif version for your approval, if you're not happy with it then you don't have to pay.

Thermo Business Cards (Thermography)

Thermographed business cards are still quite popular but, as with other specialist cards, do cost more to produce. Thermographed business cards are produced by printing the card in the normal way and while the ink is still wet, a special powder is sprayed onto the card which sticks to the wet ink. The process is completed by running each card through an ultra-violet 'curer' which bakes the powder/ink part of the thermo card.

Done correctly, the final effect can be very attractive. Done badly, the effect can look horrendous!

Things to consider before sending your artwork to a printer.

If designing your own card try and steer away from any type that is very small, or thin. On small type, the thermo process can easily fill-in gaps between characters.

Thermo cannot be applied to tints and these would need to be printed separately, which may also affect the cost.

Example

The above is a straightforward 2 colour job that lends itself to the Thermo treatment

Here we've added a logo that uses a tint of the Company Name colour. The tint cannot have the thermography treatment, so this would need to be printed separately which is going to add to the cost

If in any doubt about your artwork, it is definitely worthwhile speaking to your printer beforehand, who will be able to advise what will and won't work. Previously-printed samples are a must before committing your artwork to a printer you haven't worked with before.

If you normally purchase your business cards in a hurry, then thermographed business cards may not be for you, as you do normally have to allow extra time to get them produced, so best to check timescales with your print shop first.
