Once you have your logo or personalized theme all planned out,
the next step is to place an order for custom golf ball logos with
a company of your choice. As you scan a golf ball customization website
or make the final phone call to iron out details, there are a few common
questions they may ask of you. Below you will find some of the factors
that may influence your custom golf ball order:
Sharing Your Custom Golf Ball Vision
In order for a custom golf ball company to create the set of your dreams, they
need an idea of what you are looking for. This is why having art samples on
hand is just the thing to make the process much easier. While camera-ready art
is preferred, some customers have brought in cards or letterhead to explain
what they are looking for. Additional ways to share your ideas is to bring .jpeg
files saved to a disk of the exact logo or image you want on your golf balls.
Golf Ball Color Is Important
A frequent question a golf ball customization business may ask involves how
many colors you intend on using for your golf balls. While some companies insist
on stopping at a preset maximum number of colors, for the right price, you might
be able to enjoy unlimited selections. As a rule of thumb, using more than five
colors may become distracting (depending on the affect you wish to achieve).
Color Matching Is Important With Customized Golf Balls
Another important factor associated with choosing the color for your golf ball
designs is to adhere to uniform color compatibility. Usually, PMS (Pantone)
numbers and colors are used to express the type of shades you wish your golf
ball to display. An important point to also keep in mind is that you may very
well create the perfect logo or design on your home computer, but be aware that
not every computer has their screens adjusted to the same brightness and contrast
as yours. This means, you could run the risk of having a logo that appears lighter
or darker than expected. To make sure this blunder does not occur, it is important
to proof your final request or contact a local printer or graphic designer for
help.
The Imprint Areas For These Balls
When placing a logo on your golf balls, there are usually two different sizes
used to express the amount of space allotted to imprint areas. Many companies
will ask you to specify dimensions of ¾” or 7/8”. You should
also keep in mind that if you wish to enjoy double printing of logos, there
are extra charges that will apply. When it comes to adding personalization to
custom-made golf balls, the standard character size is often 1/16”, where
shorter names may utilize 1/8” size requirements. Some companies will
also place restrictions on the maximum number of lines, as well as characters.
For example, one business may allow a max of three lines of 17 characters and
spaces.
When it comes time to place an order for custom golf ball logos, it might be
difficult to settle on just one design. Before long, don’t be surprised
if you keep coming up with more ideas for yourself that you may even give out
as presents to family and friends.
