Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: How do I place an order?

A: To place an order, select the 'ORDER NOW' button from the product page and you will be taken to the order wizard which will guide you through the entire order process. You will also be able to upload your art during the order process, or you can email your art to us later.

 

Q: What does "Production Time" mean, how long until my order ships? 

A: Production time is the listed amount of time it takes the factory to produce your order. Production starts after final proof approval.  Please keep in mind that it usually takes at least 1 business day to process your order, and then 1-2 days for your artwork or imprint to be approved by the art department and a proof emailed to you.  In a huge rush? Check out our Rush Promotional Products.

 

Q: What if I don't have my company logo/artwork in a format that can be used for silkscreening, engraving, or embroidery?

A: First find out if someone else at your company has your logo already available (think of the person/department or company who handled the printing your business cards, brochures, signs, or any other marketing material. They probably have your logo and can email it to you or us. In the worst case, if all you have is your logo as a JPG image on your web site or computer, or on a business card - we can usually recreate your logo for a $50 art fee. 

Please refer to the Artwork Info page for more details. If you are looking to have your logo redesigned or custom graphics we can also refer you to a graphic designer.

 

Q: Can I get a sample?

A: Yes you can order a sample. Please order the sample online by selecting a quantity of "1" item.  You will be charged for the one item plus shipping.  Please note that if you are ordering multiple samples that each item may ship from a different location or factory so you may incur a shipping fee for each item. Please contact us if you have any problem ordering the sample online so we can assist you.

  
 
Q. What is an overrun / underrun?

A: Almost all orders are subject to an overrun/under run of plus or minus 5%. Why do manufacturers have over/under runs? Here is an example to help explain this: Lets say that you order 1,000 imprinted pens. The factory will actually produce about 1,100 pieces, and then quality control would go in and pick out the bad ones. This is to assure you that they will be able to provide you with approx 1,000 pens. Sometimes there are a bit more good pens than you ordered, sometimes a bit less. You are charged for the actual amount you receive. So if you receive 1025 pens, you will be charged for 1025 pens. If you receive 975 pens, you will be credited for the 25 extra pens you paid for. 
  

Q: I need a full quote before I place an order, including shipping.  

A: Please click the "request more info" link from the product page of the item you are interested in and include your shipping address and a note requesting a final quote with shipping included and we will be happy to provide you with a full quotation.
