Home/FAQ’s

Placing orders is easy! Once you have selected the products you need for your event, follow the prompts as they will easily lead you through the ordering process. If you have any questions, please contact us.

ORDERS AND PRODUCTION

What happens after I place my order?
Our account coordinators are monitoring email throughout the day. As soon as we receive your order – we will reply to acknowledge receipt of order and let you know if we have any questions. Once your order is processed, our graphic designer can email you a proof within 2 business days (if requested). Standard production is 5 business days from artwork approval. We will keep you informed as to your order status throughout the ordering process and will send you a tracking number(s) when your order has shipped.

What if I need something in a RUSH?
Please let us know when your event date is and we’ll let you know if we can accommodate your request. Anything less than 5 business days will incur a rush fee. Please speak with an account coordinator to determine what will work best for everyone.

Can I bring/send you my own item for you to decorate?
We have a large number of customers that supply their own items to be decorated. Before we can commit to your project, please contact us or stop in the shoppe so we can evaluate your piece.

What if my awards are engraved incorrectly?
Oh no! Every order is checked for accuracy against customer supplied text and signed proofs. If we cause an error, we will replace your item(s) as quickly as we can at our expense. Customer errors are replaced as quickly as possible and billed again with a courtesy discount. Customers are ultimately responsible for correct spelling of names and custom information on engraving proofs.

ARTWORK

What kind of artwork do you need?
Ideally, Adobe Illustrator files (vector art with paths) in an AI or EPS format with all fonts converted to outlines. We will accept vector PDFs also. Sometimes, Adobe Photoshop file in .EPS or .TIF format at 300dpi resolution and at actual print size or larger than final imprint will work.

JPEG / GIF / Bitmap images that you have gotten off of a website or someone else has given you in a low-resolution format will not work. We usually have to recreate these logos from scratch which may incur artwork charges.

Is there an extra charge for artwork?
We do not charge for typesetting, layout and design. If your artwork requires additional work to make it suitable for decorating, we will provide a quote prior to any design time being started. In general, we charge $65 per hour to recreate/clean up a logo/graphic.

Do I have font choices?
We have thousands of fonts on file. If you have a specific font you would like to use, let us know. If not, our graphic designer will review your piece and determine a font that is complimentary.

SHIPPING

UPS is our preferred carrier for domestic and international shipping, but we use both FedEx and UPS. All products are boxed individually and wrapped effectively for shipping safety. We can ship all goods to one location or drop ship as necessary. As a courtesy, we would be happy to use your FedEx account – just alert your account coordinator when placing the order. Truck – If your shipment is unusually large, we contract with reputable freight lines and can provide a quote, or we can work with you to coordinate between your preferred carrier and our shipping department.
