Follow These Steps to Get Started as a Reseller:

• Choose the program level that’s right for you, and request a Registration Packet from sales@makit.com • Return the completed packet by fax (972.283.2287) or email (sales@makit.com), and a Customer Care representative will contact you to complete the registration process

• Once registration is complete, you will be directed to set up a Reseller Account at Makit.com/resellers to get started submitting orders through our online system

• Create your custom, personalized designs according to Makit’s size requirements and templates (templates are

available through the Reseller online portal). Just about any software will work, but we prefer Adobe Photoshop because it is the industry standard. In order to avoid production problems, we ask that you follow our template sizes, design tips and color requirements

• Submit a Contact Sheet of your designs for review by Makit’s Art Team. Our artists will review your designs to ensure

they follow our design tips before you begin submitting orders (see page. 13 for Design Tips). Don’t forget to request a FREE color chart plate, so you can see how the colors in your design will reproduce in our production process before you begin submitting orders

Upgrade to the Reseller Partner Program: In addition to our standard Reseller Program, we also offer a Reseller Partner Program. This premium program includes options that are not available in the standard program. Additional benefits include:

• A custom branded reseller portal including your logo • Custom packing slips that can include your graphic or logo, your company name, address, and telephone number • Custom product labels applied to product prior to order shipments • Net term payment options

Become an Integrated Reseller Partner: Centrics Manufacturing Interface (CMI) System: This automated system provides you the capability to submit order information and images via XML. The volume of orders you submit will dictate whether the cost of this system is justified.

Your IT team will be expected to build per our API specifications. Non-disclosure Agreements and Service Level Agreements would be signed by all involved parties from both your company and Makit. If you are interested in upgrading to this system, contact sales@makit.com to discuss next steps and a custom quote.

For questions, please call 800.248.9443 or email sales@makit.com.

DESIGN TIPS Your design is more than a pretty picture. It is a manufactured product and is subject to a few limitations of the process. We offer the following recommendations to help you achieve a quality product and avoid rejections.

A. AVOID LARGE AREAS OF WHITE OR DARK COLORS Solid white backgrounds or dark colors such as black, red, brown, blue and purple may turn milky or blotchy. Chance of rejection is high. Incorporating a pattern into your background can prevent this problem.

(B)

B. AVOID NARROW BORDERS Borders within an inch of the edge are difficult to center and may be cut off during production. Center circle designs should be 6 inches in diameter and outside border areas should be at least 2 inches wide.

C. AVOID LARGE AREAS OF SOLID COLORS Creases in the paper along the plate edge are inherent to the molding process and will be more prominent on large areas of any solid color (dark or light). Creases are part of the molding process and cannot be avoided.

They reflect the handmade craftsmanship and should not be considered imperfections. However, they can be less noticeable when a pattern is incorporated into your background.

(C)

(D) D. ASYMMETRICAL DESIGN IS YOUR FRIEND Designs that are not centered allow for a more pleasing result. Designs that have to be perfectly centered have a high rejection rate.

E. AVOID PLACING TEXT OR IMPORTANT GRAPHICS CLOSE TO THE EDGE OF THE DESIGN Text or graphics very close to the edge of the design may be cut off during production. Move your text or graphics towards the center and leave an outside border area of at least 2 inches.

(E)

Product Design Review: In order to assure the maximum success with your designs, we request that you submit them to Makit at sales@makit.com for review before offering the items for sale. We prefer a Contact Sheet with thumbnails of each of your designs as shown.

Color Requirements: Our processing method requires that the final design images be created in RGB at 300 DPI resolution. We only accept JPEG file types for any type of design you submit.

We recommend you order a color chart plate in the size and shape of the 10-inch plate that includes the colors you want to use. This processed color sample plate will show you how your colors will reproduce in our process. We do not color match, but by requesting the color sample plate, you will be able to see which colors you may need to correct in order to match our process.

See example of color sample plate.
