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.

All submitted artwork must be vector based and saved in one of the following preferred formats: Adobe Illustrator (Please save as an EPS File) Create outlines for all images. Convert text to outlines Placed/Imported images must be sent as a separate file following the EPS/TIFF file requirements.

Build in Spot PMS Colors unless CMYK 4 color process is desired. Corel Draw Convert text to curves. EPS File 300 dpi at actual size or larger. for 4-color process printing 1200 dpi at actual size or larger.

If you do not have eps vectored artwork we suggest that unless you created your art in MSword, Print Shop or some other basic program, that you contact your business card / letterhead printer to see if they have a copy of a vectored format of your art. In most cases they will have it, and forward it to you via email.

If you created this art yourself, or have a fax or jpeg of the art, we can send this art to our outside graphic department and within 24 hours turn your art into a vectored format. The charge for this is $35. Please let your customer service person know you wish to do this, and please add 2 business days to the production of your item.

Not providing us with the correct art format can delay your order. Your order is not considered complete, and will not be turned in to the factory until we have your art in the correct format. Most orders do not go in to production until 5-7 business days after a paper proof has been approved by you. The ship date we give you at the time of your order may change based on receipt of good vectored artwork. Production time does not begin until we receive a complete order.

Do I have to be with a Corporation to place an order?
No, you do not have to be with a corporation to place an order. However, you still must order the minimum quantities required for each item.

Can my order be RUSHED?
In most cases we can rush your order. Most orders take 7-10 business days to produce from signed acknowledgement and good EPS vectored artwork. If you know you have a shorter time frame, please let your customer care person know and we will make every effort to meet your time frame.

Please be advised that RUSH service usually has a RUSH FEE associated with the order. The Rush fee will be different depending on the type of item and the factory producing the item. Be prepared to ship your items via Overnight or 2nd Day Air to meet your deadline. In most cases, a RUSH means no paper proof and your art must meet our guidelines when the order is placed. Failure to meet either of these condions and we will have to turn down your order.

What are overruns/underruns?
An overrun/underrun can occur in production on most all imprint items. Occasionally, it also happens with other items as well. It is part of the factory quality control process. The factory will produce at least 10% more product than ordered. As the item is produced it is checked for quality and those that do not make the grade are tossed. The rest are shipped to you. -

Your are charged for any overruns, and we deduct for any underruns. These charges will show up on your final invoice, with your shipping and handling charges.

I must have no less than a certain amount. Can this be guaranteed?
We can put the words "NO UNDERRUNS" on the purchase order to the factory. There may be a charge from the factory associated with this. Please ask your customer care representative when placing your order.

Why do you require an image or paper proof?
In many cases, art is sent to our offices from your art department, or in a format that you cannot open easily from your desktop. We require a proof be approved by you to insure that the art that was given to us, is the actual art you expected to use on this project and that it has been placed properly on the item. The proof is also a chance for you make any necessary changes that might arise prior to your order going in to full production. Paper and Image proof charges can vary from factory to factory that we represent. If you decide you do not want a paper/image proof, please note this on your order ackowledgement and we will eliminate this from your order. However, if you order is produced incorrectly we will not be able to credit you for any issues involved with producing your order.

How long will it take to produce my order?

The production time does Not include time in transit via a national carrier like UPS or FEDEX.

Shipping Information:

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.

Freight Truck
At times your order may be too large or too heavy to ship using UPS or FEDEX. Therefore, your best option is to ship using a common carrier. Freight truck is different than standard UPS and FedEx. When shipping in this method you will be responsible for getting the product from the back of the truck into your your building. It is better to have your shipment delivered to a location that has a receiving dock.

Most freight companies offer additional services to help you move items from the truck into your office or warehouse, normally termed "inside delivery". These services are at an additional charge and may or may not be included in the shipping charges we provide to you on your final invoice. You will want to inquire about these additional services and the charges at the time you are informed of the method your items will ship.

Important Note: The most important thing to remember about freight carriers is that you must inspect the package at the time of delivery. If the box has any damage, or if there is any reason for you to be at all concerned about damage, please write "PRODUCT DAMAGED" clearly on the sheet that they ask you to sign. This simply insures that if there is any damage, it will be easy to take care of the problem.

Shipping To Multiple Addresses

Please let us know when you place your order that you will be shipping to multiple recipients. We will email you the excel spreadsheet required by our shipping carriers for you to type in your addresses.
