FAQ

What is the minimum order you accept?

We accept all orders of all quantities. However, smaller quantity orders will cost more. Our clothing minimum is 24 pieces.

The minimum order for "promotional products" like mugs, key chains, pens, etc can be higher. Depending on the item, minimums range from 25 units to 1000+ units. Please call us to confirm the minimum quantity on your order.

Do you have a price list?

As each customer's needs are unique (ranging from different logos and quantities), it is difficult to create a generic price list for all our products. However, we encourage you to contact us with your product and logo requests and we will confirm pricing and availability.

When you quote prices do you include all the hidden charges?

We'll never charge you more than our written confirmed quote. There are no "hidden charges". All setup charges will be included in our price quotes. Taxes and delivery charges are extra. We can provide you with an estimate of the delivery charges if required.

How long does it take to produce an order?

Orders can be produced in 6-10 business days following artwork/embroidery approval. However, rush orders can be accommodated. Times may vary depending on the product and quantity.

Excellent customer service and reliable delivery are the cornerstones of our business. As a result, we will always keep you well informed on your order's progress.

What are the Payment terms?

We accept payment by check or Visa. Normal credit terms are NET 10 days upon credit approval. First orders, custom orders, or large orders may require a deposit or prepayment.

Can we get samples?

Yes we would be pleased to provide samples to you. We are a firm believer in the philosophy that clients like to actually see what they are purchasing.

  • Convert your text to curves or outlines (Illustrator)

Examples of artwork that are NOT camera ready:

  • photographs
  • photocopies
  • faxed art

What is vector artwork?

Vector artwork is created on the computer using software such as Adobe Illustrator, etc.
Vector artwork allows the artist to manipulate the artwork. For instance, if the logo needs to be enlarged, the artist can do so without it affecting the quality of the artwork.
Vector artwork IS NOT a jpeg or gif file imported into Illustrator and saved as an .ai or .eps file.

Why we can't work from scans:

  • Unlike Vector artwork, scans can't be manipulated because they weren't created on a computer. A scan is like a photograph - it can't be changed.
  • Where vector art is comprised of several different elements that an artist can touch, manipulate, and/or change on the screen, scanned art is one flat element that can't be changed in any way.
  • If the logo needs to be made larger, the artist can do so BUT it will affect the quality of the artwork.

*Note: Art charges will be assessed for non vector artwork @ $75/hour (CAD$)
