From tailored designs to specific color choices, we provide the flexibility to create a one-of-a-kind product that stands out and meets your exact specifications.

Artwork

We prefer artwork in Adobe Illustrator format. Please save artwork as .ai or .eps vector file types. All text must be converted to outlines.  Artwork modification that requires our professional graphics team will incur additional charges.   

eProof

Prior to production, we will send you an Electronic Proof (eProof) to review logo placement and specs for accuracy.  The eProof requires your approval before we can begin production.  In the event that you require edits or changes, then a new electronic proof will be submitted for your approval.  eProofs are sent to you via email FREE of charge.  

Production Lead Time

Standard production time is 7-10 days after artwork approval. Please call for any rush requests. All rush requests must be approved prior to order confirmation.

Cancellation

Any cancellation of orders in process is subject to applicable charges, depending on extent of work performed and cost incurred at time of cancellation.

Returns

Customized and engraved products are non-returnable.

Artwork Approval
Artwork approval is required before production.

Our commitment to producing the perfectly branded product for your client starts with designing the ideal rendering of your company's logo applied to the product. Consider us your brand police! We won't begin manufacturing an order until you've approved the artwork.

When submitting artwork, please use the following guidelines:

• Art files should be at least 600 dpi. The preferred file type is an Adobe Illustrator vector file: .eps, .ai, or .pdf with the text converted to outlines*.
• Other approved file formats include: .jpg, .jpeg, or .png.
• We do NOT accept: .gif files, page layout files (such as Quark or Pagemaker), word processing documents (such as MS Word/PowerPoint), photocopies, business cards, letterheads, fax transmissions, or any other formats that are too low in quality to ensure a quality imprint.

File Suppression: If the file size is too large to send via email, consider using a file compression service like Stuffit, WeTransfer, or Zip.

Please do NOT resize your artwork to the size you think we need. We will resize the artwork to fit your product choice.

During the Artwork Approval Process, we may require you to email vector art. The preferred file type is an Adobe Illustrator vector file: *.eps, *.ai, or .pdf. All text must be converted to outlines.
*Converting text to outlines changes the text from a font to an object. If this is not done, our version of Illustrator will select a default font that may not match the one in your logo. To convert text to outlines, simply select all the text you typed and press Shift+Ctrl+O.

Art Prep

We employ our own in-house staff to review, modify, and/or create artwork for optimal decoration output. In some cases, color-separated artwork may be required. Unless otherwise specified, all artwork will be sized to best maximize the imprint area indicated. If no specific imprint area is indicated, we reserve the right to decorate the area most suitable for the artwork and the method specified.
