Submitting an Ad:
We recommend submitting ads digitally. However, we accept film.
For more in-depth specs, please request our preflight checklist.

SPECS for Digital Files
Please include a flattened CMYK 300 dpi TIFF or EPS file of your printer-ready ad, in addition to the native files.

Native file requirements:
  • Include all support files; this means all fonts and graphics. If fonts are not included, text must be converted to paths or outlines. We cannot read IBM fonts.
  • All artwork contained in ad must be in CMYK mode (if color), in Tiff or EPS format, and at a resolution of 300 dpi. Line art should be saved at 600 dpi. Artwork submitted at lower resolutions cannot be used. Please be advised that most artwork obtained from the Web is
    only 72 dpi.
  • We can work with native files created in these applications or earlier versions on the Macintosh platform: QuarkXpress 4.1, Adobe Photoshop 6.0, Adobe Illustrator 9, Freehand 10, or Adobe
    Acrobat 5.0.
  • We accept Zip 100 disks or CDs.

  • Please include contact information in case of problems and for the disk return.

  • Always provide a proof with digital ads. Color proofs are preferred. Fresh Cup cannot be responsible for inaccurate printing of color if an accurate color proof is not supplied.
Deadlines:
Ad submission deadlines fall at the end of the third week of each month, six weeks before the issue release. For example, the ad submission deadline for the December issue would be October 25. Late ads are subject to replacement with previously run ads, or may be dropped for that month’s issue. Please plan ahead when sending in new advertising.

E-Mailing files:
  • Send digital files less than 15 megabytes in size via the Internet to adsales@freshcup.com.
  • Using the compression software “StuffIt” is recommended for larger files.
  • We recommend you also mail a hard copy color proof.


Mailing Address:
Ads must be mailed using a trackable method, such as UPS, FedEx, etc. Please send your ad to:
