Providing your orders to BCT in a digital format is the best way to ensure that both you and your customer are pleased with the result. BCT has made placing your digital order easier than ever. By accessing your online account at bctindy.com, you will have access to a wealth of valuable resources along with easy access to your orderprinting.com account. Once logged in, you will be able to manage your customer accounts, review order history, and place orders for various BCT products using the online PerfectSend system. Using PerfectSend to place your order has several benefits. By sending your file in a .PS, .EPS, or .PDF format you will get a PDF plug-in window with a sample of the file being sent. This screen image will serve as your approval that the file being submitted is composed correctly. Along with instantaneous proofing you will also receive an electronic order discount. Faxing order forms and samples for the item(s) will not be required.
We do require that the files be set-up using "BCT Colors". For example, BCT Red, BCT Reflex, etc. BCT Color palettes. The BCT Color Palettes are accompanied with instructions on how to load them into your software, and how to find them for use. Any files not set up with BCT Colors, may not receive the full discount. Guidelines are available for assistance in generating files according to our standards.

Although we prefer files be sent to us via PerfectSend, we do realize that the needs of our customers vary. We also offer Digital Art submittal. This allows you to send your files, via email, to us accompanied with an order form filled out at the time the file is submitted. The down side to this function is that you must still send in a hard copy sample via fax, route or mail. We have included a fax cover letter to use when submitting a hard copy sample via fax. In addition to PerfectSend and Digital Art submittal,
we have included an FTP site. This function of bctindy.com is intended for submitting files larger than 5MB.
All files submitted through the FTP site will need to be followed up with a hard copy sample.
Below is a breakdown of additional requirements and discounting for each method of digital art file submittal.
