How to Order Customized 'Zebra Mussel Watch' Cards

The "Zebra Mussel Watch" card is a frontline public awareness tool for fighting the invasion of North America by this noxious Eurasian mussel. Since 1990, Wisconsin Sea Grant has printed more than 2 million of these wallet-sized field identification cards on behalf of businesses, state and federal agencies and Sea Grant programs in 22 states and two Canadian provinces.

• NOTE: The only customizations permitted are: (A) the contact information ("IMMEDIATELY contact...") in the last paragraph on the inside of the card (maximum of five 8-word lines), or (B) the addition of a sponsor line (e.g., "A public service of...") added at the bottom of a generic version of the card designed specifically for general distribution.  (See what each card says inside.)
  
• The minimum number of customized cards that can be ordered is 7,200, and all orders must be in multiples of 1,200.
  
• The per-unit price is eight cents (US$0.08) per card for 7,200 to 34,800 copies. The per-unit price for 36,000 or more copies is six cents (US$0.06) per card.
  
• We will NOT customize or otherwise change the front or back of the color cover. Sorry, we can NOT provide blank cards for you to imprint.
