šŸ–¼ļø Artwork, proofs, & file requirements

What file format do we require your artwork in?

We require high-resolution files in vector format, such as .ai, .eps or .pdf with outlined fonts. This ensures the best print quality for your promotional items.

How can I send my artwork to you?

You can upload your artwork directly during the ordering process or email it to us after placing your order. We'll link your file to your project internally.

How do I create my artwork?

Creating your artwork or print file is much easier than it seems. Here are the artwork guidelines needed for putting together your own file. Alternatively, if you would rather we take of that for you, we certainly can.

Can I change the artwork if it's not as desired?

Yes, you’ll receive a visual proof before anything goes into production. You can make changes until you are fully satisfied and have approved the final version.

How long does it take for artwork to be sent over from point of order?

Usually within 24 hours after your order is placed. Complex orders or high volumes may take slightly longer, but we always aim for a quick turnaround.

What is a print preview and how can I get one?

A print preview (also called a visual proof) is a digital mock-up showing how your logo will look on the product. We send this to you via email for approval before production.

How can I make my logo bigger?

If your branding space allows, we’ll scale your logo to the maximum visible size. If you have size preferences, just let us know during the approval stage.

Will I see a proof before my item goes into production?

Yes, you will always receive a digital visual for approval before anything is printed. Production will not start until you’ve confirmed the artwork.

Do you keep my artwork on file if we wish to do a repeat order in the future?

Yes, we store your artwork securely for future use. Repeat orders are quick and easy since we already have your files and approval history on hand.


šŸ–Øļø Printing methods & branding

What print methods do you offer?

We offer a wide variety of print methods including screen print, digital print, embroidery, pad print, laser engraving and more—depending on the product.

What print method will work best with my logo?

That depends on your logo’s complexity and the product you choose. Our team will always recommend the best method to ensure a clean and lasting impression.

How will my logo be printed onto the products?

Your logo is applied using your selected branding method (e.g., screen print or laser engraving). You’ll get a visual proof first, and then our machines handle the rest. For more information, refer to our printing technique guidelines.


šŸ“¦ Samples & pre-production

Can I see a sample?

Yes, you can request a sample to evaluate the product before committing to a full order. This is especially useful for checking quality and fit.

Do I have to pay for samples?

Plain samples are often free or available at a small cost, depending on the product. Printed samples may incur additional charges.

Do samples come with print on?

Most samples are unbranded. If you need a printed sample, we can arrange this, but setup and print costs may apply.

Can I have samples printed?

Yes, but there may be extra costs involved. Let us know what you need, and we’ll advise on pricing and lead time.


šŸ’³ Payment & invoicing

What options do we have to pay?

We accept card payments, bank transfers and in some cases payment on account for repeat customers or large orders.

Do you accept cheques?

I've only received one part of my order. Where are my other products?

It's important to note that products could be shipped from more than one warehouse if your order contains a varied item list. So don't be alarmed if you receive multiple tracking numbers for a single order after you've made your purchase; or if you get one part of your order first. Some other items may take longer to get delivered to you.

How long will it take from order to delivery?

Lead times depend on the product and branding method, but generally range from 5–10 working days after artwork approval.

What is the difference between delivery and priority production?

Delivery refers to shipping time, while priority production shortens the time your order spends in production. This is ideal for urgent deadlines.

Our website offers priority products, but this does not relate to delivery and shipping. What is the difference between shipping and production?

• Priority production: This refers to those promotional products that can be branded with your artwork within 48 hours. This refers solely to the production of your merchandise and does not include the delivery time.

• Delivery: We do not offer priority or express shipping on any product. This means your products should arrive within 7 to 21 working days.

Can I cancel or amend my order?

Contact us as soon as possible. If production hasn’t started or the order hasn’t shipped, we may be able to cancel or amend it.

Can I return plain items if I do not like them?

Unfortunately not. We recommend ordering a sample first if you’re unsure about a product.


šŸ’· Pricing & price match guarantee
