(2) Prototypes: Physical mockups; usually made of paper. Prototypes are subject to availability.
Art Requirements: Artwork and layout instructions are needed with all speculative sample requests. Three types of artwork can be used:
 
(a) Mechanical – literature, label, photo, etc.
(b) Digital Files – including: .eps, .tif, .jpg, .ai, .bmp
(c) Internet – images downloaded or captured from the
web (.jpg or .gif). Must be cropped to show intent.
NOTE: 3M will not create original artwork such as photography, illustrations or most typeset copy for speculative samples.
