Artwork Requirements
For all decorating processes, we require clean, crisp, high resolution artwork. Our art department utilizes PC format for all designs. Vector artwork is preferred. We can accept bitmap art; however there may be additional art charges incurred for rendering appropriate artwork. When possible, please send Adobe Illustrator files. Convert all text to outlines. Gradients, transparency, and other effects may be problematic with embroidery or silkscreen, keep file structure and graphic treatments simpler for best results. Additionally, we can accept Adobe PDF. You should create your PDF with "Press" settings or PDF/X-1a settings if possible. Choose to "embed fonts" so that your text does not substitute on our machines. Photoshop, JPEG, TIF and BMP are other formats we support. Remember that JPEG is usually better for photographs rather than hard edged graphics, and it uses a "lossy" compression to allow very small file sizes by compromising image quality, so use the highest quality compression if you have that option—or better, save in TIF format which does not degrade your image. Files from other software applications may incur additional art charges. If in doubt, please call and ask. PMS numbers are preferred for color identification.

Over / Under Runs
We make every effort to ship exact quantities on your orders. Due to the complexities of the manufacturing process, we reserve the right to over ship or under ship up to 5% and bill accordingly.

All changes and cancellations must be in writing. Order changes may affect delivery dates as well as product and decoration cost. No changes may be accepted after production has started. Cancelled orders are subject to costs incurred prior to production including cost of art, screens, embroidery digitizing, and proofs. All claims and discrepancies must be reported within 10 days of receipt of order.
