After your initial proof a nominal art charge may apply. Please contact your Customer Service rep for assistance with design layout or questions.
Setup Fee
Most products will have a setup fee. We try to reduce or eliminate these fees as much as possible. When ordering multiple products a setup fee may apply to each product due to the unique print area and/or print method.
Shipped Quantity
Although we try to ship exact amounts of each product ordered, due to the nature of custom printing there will be occasional over / under runs. The industry standard is +/- 5% for most products with the exception of paper and plastic bags which mary vary +/- 20%, we will invoice you for the exact quantity shipped.
Shipping
Minimum shipping amount for any order is $5.99. Shipping charges will vary by order and are based on the total shipping weight of your order and will be calculated automatically upon invoicing.

Drinkware
Unless otherwise noted, our drinkware items are for non-commercial use and hand washing is recommended. Unless stated, do not microwave any drinkware items. Fluid capacities are approximate and should not be used as a standard of measure. Imprints may distort on tapered products such as mugs, megaphones, cups and funnels.
Plastic Products
Plastic scuffs and scratches may occur during shipping. Clear and dark colored plastics show this most, this is not considered to be a defect and will not be eligible for credit. Plastic products are printed with inks that must evaoporate to dry. These vapors may be trapped in the packaging or shipping carton. Once the inks are dry, any odor will dissipate.
Product Color
Due to the nature of the materials and the variance in imported products, we can not guarantee exact color match within orders, or on repeat orders from lot to lot.
Product Sizes
For kraft and paper bags 1/4" variation in width, gusset and/or height may apply. This is standard within the industry and is considered acceptable.
