Correx® Cone

Product FAQs

Do I need a design?

We supply a variety of correx® cones to cover all possible use cases. For example, use “cleaning station” cones to help highlight areas where customers can sanitize themselves or “wait here” cones are used to promote social distancing queuing. Our coronavirus safety signs are in green, blue, red, yellow and black as standard but any colour is possible, just ask!

Can I have a Bespoke Design?

The correx® cones can be UV printed to any design that is required. A template can be downloaded here. Please check the artwork guidelines below. Please note, any bespoke design may increase the turnaround time and artwork fees may apply.

Can I have a Bespoke Size?

Custom sized cones are available upon demand; however, price will vary depending on the final size of the design. If you have any further questions, don’t be afraid to ask.

Can I use them Outside?

The printed correx® cones can be used outside, the material and ink are weather resistant. Please be aware, that correx® is a lightweight material, therefore, is susceptible to being blown away by wind.

Square or Triangular?

Typically, we produce 3 sided (triangular) correx® cone as these are the most cost effective and visually striking, however, producing 4 sided cones is not a problem! If you require a square cone, please let us know when you are placing your order.

Is it more expensive to print multiple colours?

No, we digitally print all of our products in full colour using UV resistant inks as standard. So you won't see any increases in price if you have a lot of colour in your artwork.

How do I submit my artwork files?

Simply attach your artwork via our upload option when placing your order, our uploader will accept Jpeg, Tiff, PNG, PDF and ZIP files up to 50mb. It is recommended to ensure artwork files are optimised to retain a reasonable file size.

You can also simply use our email address (at the top of the website) and attach your files. If you have any problems with sending large files give us a call or use file sharing services like WeTransfer.com. If you are using WeTransfer or similar, we highly recommend sending an email alongside this, as we do not pick up orders from WeTransfer emails. 

What are requirements for artwork files?

Preferable file format is PDF or high-quality JPG. If you are supplying artwork ready to print, please make sure the design files meet all general standard printing requirements like:

• Files must be to scale (100% size) or at least in proportion (half size, quarter size etc.)
• CMYK colour mode (no RGB or Pantone colours as it can cause problems)
• All text must be converted to curves/outlined or at least embedded inside supplied pdf
• There is no need for extra bleeds and crop marks for simple rectangular signs
• Please include cut path for cut out boards indicating expected board shape OR simply describe where it should be, and we will draw the shape for you in most cases free of charge.

In case you require and design work or are uncertain about the files you have please just attach your files with description in your message. We will help and advice. If there would be any extra charge involved, we will let you know before proceeding with any changes.

Am I able to collect from you directly rather than arrange delivery?

We are located in a town called Whitefield just outside of Manchester City Center, if you happen to be local, or are just passing by, you're more than welcome to collect your order from us directly. If this would be preferred just let us know when sending over your order.
