What type of art is accepted and how do I get you the art?
All submitted artwork must be vector based and saved in an EPS format converted to curves or outlines. See artwork requirements link for more information. An art email address will be provided to you in your order acknowledgement. We require your Job# and company name to be placed in the subject line to insure your art will match up with your order.

Can my order be RUSHED?

What do you mean by set up fee?
A set up fee is the amount paid to our factory to set up your logo for that particular item. It may also be called a screen fee or a die fee depending on the type of product you are decorating. The fee is based on the item you purchase and the factory that you select to decorate that item. If you purchase an award from factory A, you pay a set up fee for that item from factory A. If you order next year the same award and make no changes to your logo, you may pay a reduced set up fee or no set up fee based on the factory rules. If you select a different item from the same factory or another item from a different factory you will incur a new set up fee. Set up fees are based on the item per factory, not with CEShoppes®.

How long does my art stay on file?
This usually varies per factory, but normally your art will stay on file for a period of two years. If you place your order after two years, a new set up fee will be charged. CEShoppes® is not the factory, so although we do hold your art on file as a convenience to you, we do not hold the dies, the plates or the screens. These are held by the individual factory and they do not keep them indefinitely. Any changes to your art will cause you to pay a new set up fee.

Can my order be shipped to multiple locations?
In most cases the answer is yes. Each individual factory has their own sets of rules for drop shipping to separate destinations and their own associated fees. Please ask your customer care representative about drop ship templates when shipping to more than 5 different locations. Templates must be filled out exactly as shown in order to take advantage of the lowest price in drop ship fees.

We will present you with an order acknowledgment prior to processing your order so there will not be any big surprises. Shipping charges can be estimated, but it is only an estimate and you will be charged for the final shipping 7-10 business days after your order ships. Feel free to use your own shipper number if you choose. (Please note, some factories will charge you a 3rd party fee to use your own shipper number).

Is shipping included in the cost of the products?
