We receive many inquiries about what fonts are used in our designs.  Because fonts are the nature of our business, we do not disclose these names and appreciate our customers understanding.

If you are interested in adding new fonts to your computer for custom work, there are many true type and open face fonts that can be downloaded online.  Many of these fonts are free for personal use, but many also require a business license for commercial use.

The font folder on your computer is generally found at C://Windows/Fonts, and you have the ability to add or delete these font files like any other file.  However, if your font folder is not showing in the directory, it most likely is "hidden" and can be "un-hidden" by someone who understands your computer system a little more.

Stick figure families (or stick families) are a popular consumer item right now.  When cut in exterior white, silver, gold, or light gray vinyl, they are absolutely adorable on car windows.  They are meant to represent the members of your family and stand between 2-1/2" to 5-6" tall.  They retail from $2/infant up to $5/adult. Pets run around $3-$4 each, and extra text for the family names varies from $2/name to $5/family name.

Not only can stick figures be used to represent families on vehicles, they can be used for job charts, name tags, and other things around the house.  They're being used on t-shirts, scrapbooking pages, cards, and more.  People love to talk about their families and stick figures are a great way to celebrate their family's uniqueness.

In our Stick Family PLUS Collection, we have included non-stick figure elements like sanddollars, sandbuckets/pails, palm trees, beach footwear, etc. that can represent family units.  You can line up beach sandals or sandbuckets to represent a family.  It's all about showing the personality of your family, and what you enjoy doing together.

All of our catalog pages have a colored background to help prevent third-party misuse.  May we suggest some options for sharing this particular catalog with others:

1-  When showing stick families, use a few presentation folders with sheet protectors.  (We have found some awesome white vinyl presentation folders with 12 attached top-loading sheet protectors that run around $4.  They are slim, trim, very professional, and don't use the bulky rings that catch paper.)

2-  Print catalog pages on white cardstock for added durability in the sheet protectors.  You can place two pages of cardstock in each sheet protector, for viewing on each side.

3-  Take your catalog on a CD to a local print shop and have them print your copies.  Or, print a master color copy from home and make colored copies as needed at a copy center.

4-  If you wish to have something for customers to take home, present them with a black/white photocopy of the colored page.  The background will be a bit gray, so make sure you print a bit on the lighter side.  Customers will understand.

5-  Consider showing only one or two catalog pages to new customers.  Too many options generally overwhelm them, create more work for you, and dramatically increase the decision-making time.

6-  Use the suggested order form we included in your collection.  As the customer tells you about their family, jot extra notes on the paper so that you can add the elements and extras if needed later.  Charge accordingly ... CLICK HERE for some general pricing and sizing guidelines.

7-  Please avoid showing our designs as black images on a white background.  It may look a bit cleaner, but it "unprotects" our designs.  When our designs are dark images on a white background, they can be instantly vectorized, engraved, or cut in number of different softwares.  This means that the very design we sell can be instantly replicated and used.
