Camera ready artwork is required. Preferred artwork file format would be an Illustrator vector .eps file with all text and graphics converted to outlines. This file format is created in the highest resolution to give you the best, sharpest imprint possible.
All multi-color artwork should be color separated by layer. If an exact PMS match is needed, Please include the PMS # in the file.
Camera ready art IS NOT faxed copies, letterhead, business cards, photocopies, hand sketches, imprinted merchandise, or any other artwork which needs to be touched up, color separated, or made one color. NO GIF, JPG , CGM , BMP, WMF, PUB, DOC, WEB IMAGES OR PICT FILES!! These files are extremely low resolution and do not make a good imprint. However, the graphic artist that created the above items for you would probably have the original artwork on file that WOULD be camera ready, so don't despair!!
If you do not have access to camera ready art; Please let us know. Our art department can typeset simple text for you free of charge. And, if you are needing actual graphic or logo recreation into vector .eps format- Our skilled graphic artist can redraw it for you for a nominal charge. All artwork recreation is quoted depending on complexity on the artwork, and how quickly you need the art completed for your job.
We carry thousands of products not listed in our catalog or on our web site. If you are looking for something in particular, or have seen a great item somewhere else-Please do not hesitate to ask for our assistance in locating it for you. We also have a policy to try and meet or beat any competitors price!!
We will ONLY accept orders from outside the United States IF you can provide your UPS or FEDEX Shipper # in order to cover all duties, taxes and shipping costs to your destination country, or if you supply us with a billing and shipping address within the continental United States that will accept the responsibility and all the cost liabilities to ship the goods to you. We will not be held liable for any returns or damaged goods once the product is shipped and received in good condition by your USA contact. All orders must be pre-paid with a credit card for International Orders.
Once an Order Acknowledgment is approved, we cannot guarantee our ability to make changes or cancellations to an order. If you have already signed your Order Acknowledgement, there will be a minimum charge of $50.00 to cover order entry and artwork preparation expenses. In addition, you are liable to pay the agreed upon price for any work that may have been completed up to the time that we are able to cancel your order. These charges may include but are not limited to setup charges, artwork preparation charges, shipping charges and restocking fees. All completed orders and costs incurred will be the responsibility of the customer.
Due to the manufacturing production process, there are times when orders are shipped with an overage or shortage of products in the shipment. These are called overruns or underruns.
This amount can be up to 10% over or under the quantity ordered. You will be credited or billed accordingly for the exact amount that shipped.
We require prepayment before production begins. We accept either company check, or Visa, Master Card, or American Express. We do not accept purchase orders for payment.
Why would you go with our company over another when you have to prepay, and another company has you on terms? Our company charges less than most companies do. You may be paying all of the money up front, but you will be paying far less overall with us than you would with another company at the end of their 30 day terms.
To place an order, Please Call, Fax or Email us using the contact information listed above. Once we have your order, artwork or artwork instructions, we fax to you within 24 hours your order acknowledgement, paper proof form, and credit card form. Upon receipt of your signed approvals of the above three forms- Production time will start.
Prices listed on the web pages include a 1 color; 1 location imprint. If you are interested in a multi-color or multi location imprint, and pricing is not listed on the page-Please ask your representative for the additional charges involved.
Prices listed do not include shipping costs. All shipping costs are additional. All of our products are shipped FOB from their respective manufacturers around the United States. The shipping costs involved vary depending on what type of time frame you have to get your products in. We ship via Fed EX or UPS in the most economical way to meet your in hands date. We can also bill your freight account # directly for the freight if you prefer.
Production time on products varies according to the product. Ask your consultant about the exact item you are interested in. The "Average" Production time is usually between 10-12 working days and begins once we have complete payment and art proof/order approval. Please allow extra time if your artwork requires us to recreate it in camera ready .eps format. Production times listed exclude shipping time. Transit time is additional. Holidays and weekends are not considered working days. Rush Service is also available on many of our products as found in our Rush Products Section.
For events coming up quick- We carry a large selection of products that can be produced quicker than the normal production time. These can be found in our Rush Products Section. Also, if you are interested in a certain product that is not in our Rush section, but need it quicker than the time listed- Let us know and we may be able to speak with the manufacturer to see if they can produce it for an extra charge by your event date. Keep in mind that for all rush orders, we do require Camera Ready artwork in a vector .eps file to be provided , or your order will be delayed and art charges may be involved in order for our graphic artist to recreate your file for your order. Rush orders may also require expedited freight to meet your needed in hands date. Transit time is NOT included in the production times listed.
We understand that there are times when you need to touch and feel the product you are thinking of purchasing. We will provide one sample per customer up to $5.00 in value and ship it free of charge via ups ground. Samples are non-returnable. If you need more than one sample, we would be happy to send them out for you. However, due to sample policy abuse and the fact that samples are sent from a vast network of manufacturers throughout the country (not just from one) ; when requesting more than one sample-There will be sample and shipping charges for multiple samples. (Item will be billed at the pricing listed in the left column qty) You can also provide your shipper number if you need expedited shipping of the samples, or do not wish to be billed for the freight on the additional samples. Once you become a regular customer , our sample policy will be more lenient. Please do not request samples if you are not intending on making a purchase.
Set up charges or screen charges are the manufacturers cost of making the screen that applies the ink to your product. This cost is applied the first time you order that particular product. If you order multiple products, you would still have the screen or set up charge for each product, as often times each product is produced by a different manufacturer. But, If you ever reorder that same product, with the same exact art- you would not have that charge on subsequent orders.
