Digital/Electronic/Emailed
Artwork Upload Requirements & Guidelines:
In order to properly reproduce your art, we can only work with
“camera ready art” obtained from clean, crisp, high quality originals.
Acceptable PC file types are .tif, .eps, .ai, .psd, and .pdf. For .tif
files, to reduce file transfer size, we recommend reducing one color
artwork to 1 bit, black & white, or grayscale images. Although
not usually the case, certain .doc or embedded images may be
acceptable, but do to unintentional malicious virus or worm files we
can only accept image files. Due to image loss low resolution .jpeg and
.gif files will not transfer with desired quality. We require a high
quality black and white original, printed at a minimum of 600 dpi, that
has crisp, sharp edges and needs no further touch up. We cannot use
pre-screened / pre-tinted artwork or halftones. Some thin lines, small
copy and reverses may not reproduce as submitted and may need to be
altered to imprint clearly. We accept black and white "raster" art
created at a minimum of 600dpi in .tiff format or multi color art sent
in "vector" format saved as an .eps file. Important: All vector art
fonts in .eps and .ai must be included or converted to outlines/curves.
All placed images must be included. We recommend a hard copy of the
file accompany the order. Ask your sales professional any questions you
may have by calling us at 800-789-4340 or click here to email us.
General Artwork
Information:
Factory reserves the right to determine acceptable art which
may vary according to product. Art Dept time is billed at $75.00 /
hour. A charge will likely result when you submit: faxes, photo copies,
actual products, images from the web, newspaper ads, low resolution
business cards or stationery, napkins, patches or anything else that is
determined to be unacceptable. All multi-color imprints must be
provided camera-ready, color-separated with composite or may incur a
$75.00 art charge. You will be notified in advance of any charges
unless verbal instructions are given to proceed, or to meet your rush
deadline and you have not indicated to proceed with the needed changes.
Industry standard is 1/32" movement in any direction. Foam products
allow 1/8" movement. Multi-color imprint is on both sides vary from
product to product. Copy size will depend on product. We will use our
discretion for best imprint. Larger text may be required on products
with a porous surface.
Screen &
Setup
Charges:
Screen charges are usually charged for the manufacture of a
screen, chemical preparation and transference of your artwork onto the
screen, cleanup & inspection of your image to ensure a quality
image, and when order is completed, protection, storage and maintenance
of your screen for future orders, when indicated. Due to the high cost
and detailed work needed for he manufacture of a quality screen and
since each color printed require a separate screen used, screen charges
are billed by the amount of colors in your imprint., each color. (1
color imprint =1 screen charge. 2 color imprint =2 screen charges etc)
Additional
Imprints / Running
Charges:
For most items that require the printing of a
separate/additional/running color, there will be an additional imprint
color charge. This charge is required to offset the materials, time,
and labor required for the additional running of your item through the
print & drying machinery.
Setup
Charges:
We are required to recoup some of the cost involved in
production, quality control and oversight of your order. Most orders
require several machinery operators several hours to properly
initialize, setup, configure, run, clean up and shut down our printing
and drying equipment. In addition, they must also, calibrate and dry
run your product, testing the integrity of the print, as well as
saturation, coverage, consistency and durability of each run. After the
dry run on a tester, actual production begins, all with a close eye,
and followed up by a quality control team member. Should any
irregularities exist, the entire process is repeated.
This charge is usually not added on blank items.
Free and Fee Art

for your imprint, in both choosing an appropriate clipart image and
setting up any text lettering in a variety of choices for you to choose

Full
Color/ Four Color
Process:
We can print 4-color process on many of our products. Color
separation charges, minimum quantities and running charges are listed
by item. Some specialized items will require a copy of the image for a
quotation. Silkscreens printed at 75 lpi, Pad Prints at 110 lpi. Supply
art digitally at 600 dpi in .eps format. PMS color match cannot be
guaranteed on process printing. Image and exact imprint colors may vary
slightly during production runs and on repeat orders.
Screen Printing:
Is the process for smaller quantities and the best quality
image. Screened images are very sharp and crisp with good ink opacity,
and even the ability to over print multiple colors to solve
registration issues in some art. One disadvantage is that multiple
colors must be printed and re-registered one at a time making it more
costly than offset printing, and is limited to one side only on cups.
Multi color registration may have a variation of approximately 1/8”.
Offset Printing:
Provides an economical way of printing larger quantities.
Offset printing handles multi-color and tight registration artwork as
it lays all of the colors down in one pass. Paper cups and Napkins are
available in up to 4 colors, and all other items are available in up to
6 colors @ 25,000 qty. or greater, otherwise limited to 4 colors. Multi
color imprints are available as one side, two sided, and wrap.
Registration may have a variation of approximately 1/32”. Quality of
offset printing is sometimes less than screen printing due to the high
printing speeds, resulting in slurring at the top and blurring towards
the bottom of the imprint area. Ink coverage is thinner than screen
printing resulting in an imprint which may look transparent, especially
on clear items. Dot gain in halftones is often up to 20%. Butt
registration is allowed, but trapping is not. Do not expect the same
clarity and opacity of print as screen printing. Please request random
samples or product proofs if this is a concern.
Emboss &
Deboss:
Is a printing method which uses heat and pressure to create a
raised or recessed image into napkins. This printing method is best
suited for bold imprints with out fine detail, halftones, or reversed
images. These imprint methods are available on all napkins, however
please be aware that the image is not as crisp on the Almost Linen
napkins due to the thickness of the product.
Hot Stamping:
Is a printing method which uses heat and pressure to transfer
a metallic foil to the item being imprinted. Due to the softness of the
napkins/coaster, a certain amount of bleeding and fill-in will occur
with fine detail/reverse images. Logos with fine detail/reverse images
are recommended to be screen printed. Please note that since foil is
stamped on the napkin/coaster, large solid areas may flake during use.
Halftone images are not able to be hot stamped.
Pad Printing:
Is a printing method which uses a silicon pad to pick up ink
from a plate and transfers the ink directly onto the item being
printed. This printing method is best suited for unusual shaped items,
imprints with fine detail and halftones. Disadvantages of this printing
method are the limited imprint area, ink opacity and subtle tonal
changes in the imprint on large solid areas. Due to the thin ink
transfer and limited ink opacity, it is not recommend to print on dark
substrates without first putting a white base down, this adds an
additional color charge to the cost the item being printed. On most of
our items we are limited to 5 colors of imprint.
Half
Tones:
Our half tone screens vary from item to item, but generally
are printed
from 45 lpi-75 lpi for silk-screening, 85 lpi-110 lpi for pad printing.
Line screen may vary per production requirements. Halftones must be
sent as digital files and created in a vector format such as
Illustrator .eps. Placed images are not acceptable. Not available for
hot stamping or FunFoam. Half-tone images may require
additional running charges on some items.
Tapered &
Seamed Products:
Imprint may distort on tapered products such as cups, mugs,
megaphones and funnels. When designing a wrap or oversized print,
please inquire about the seam location, as your image will not print
well on a seam.
Artwork
Transfers:
Artwork cannot be transferred from one customer to another
without written permission from the original customer or the owner of
the original artwork.
Original
Paper Art
Returns:
Original paper artwork will not be returned unless requested.
You are responsible for any expedited or specialized shipping costs.
Use of Logos:
The purchaser must indemnify Target Promotional Products /
promosonline.com of any liability arising out of or relating to any
actual or alleged infringement of trademark, copyright, service mark,

FAQ's
Whats
the easiest way for me to order? Do I have to order online?
How
to Order, Step by Step:
Ordering
is not as overwhelming as it seems. We always
recommend that you ensure lowest and correct product pricing and
availability by calling us, prior to placing your order.
You
can either
place the order by telephone with your sales professional, or continue
to place your order through our easy online “instant quote“ order
& checkout system in 3 easy steps:
1)
Select
Your Item:
To begin, find your item
and enter in your desired quantity
and production type. Choose any add ons to your product, such as item
color. Specify your imprint color and any additional info in the
“Special Instructions” box. Add to your cart and begin the checkout
process. You will be able to specify the imprint type and location
after you have added the items to your cart.
2) Send Your Art:
Once
items have been
added to your cart, follow the online steps to completing your order.
Once the payment and shipping details of your order are completed
& verified, select your artwork location, color and other
options following the online process. You can either upload, email or
mail your artwork to us. Please see artwork guidelines to ensure the
best results.
Once you have completed online, telephone, or email ordering, you will
always be contacted by a sales professional to transition your order
and artwork with complete accuracy. We will then begin the back end
process to pull and count your product, allocate & prep our
machinery, process inks, clean and prepare screens, and have production
schedule your order for your time frame.
3) Approve & Return
Order Confirmation & Art
Proof:
You will receive an instant email order
confirmation followed
by a hard
copy of an art proof approval by email or fax, along with the details
and layout of your order & artwork, showing how it would appear
on your product. To ensure correctness, we ask that you sign, date and
return the approval by fax, or scan & email, in a timely manner
and send back to us to complete order entry. Your order will then be
matched with your artwork, and your product will be produced, boxed
& shipped. Our quality control department will follow your
order throughout, to ensure we maintain the highest level of production
excellence and avoid any discrepancies or errors.
Do
you have any
kind of Guarantee on your
products?
Absolutely. We unconditionally guarantee that any item
purchased from
us will be free from defects of material and workmanship. Any product
found to be defective, will be replaced and/or credit/refund issued.
Any defects or unacceptable items must be returned, with a return
merchandise authorization number issued in advance. Call for more
details.
How do I get my discount for joining your mailing list applied to my order?
If your merchandise total (not including freight,
art, screen or setup charges) is more than $350.00, and you mention this offer
when placing your order, (cannot be applied once order
has been proceesed) your credit will be applied to final invoice. Since this is a limited time promotion,
it will not be reflected in your shopping cart upon checkout. Please note that this offer is non transferable and may be
cancelled at any time, without advance notice. Does not apply to
certain low volume, sale, closeout or discounted items, or to orders
with other discounts. Cannot be combined with other offers. Limit one
per customer, company or institution. .
I
found the same item
elsewhere
for less. Will you match their
price?
No! We will BEAT it! We are so confident that we have the
best prices
on the same items we will sharpen our pencils to save you money! Call
for more information.
Is there a printed
catalog
available?
No, due to increasing paper & mailing costs we choose
to keep
our pricing competitive by eliminating overhead.
Can I get a sample of
an item?
Yes! Sample requests are taken by email. We ask that you help
defray
costs by providing us with a Fed Ex or UPS shipping number, or provide
us with payment for the nominal shipping charge. Due to the high level
of sample request abuse, samples are charged per piece, which are
credited to your order, when placed.
How can I see
what my
imprint
will look like before I order?
Once you order we will send you an order confirmation and an
art proof
approval to view & sign off on prior to production. We ask you
to review them, sign & return as quickly as possible to ensure
on time delivery.
Can I get a
pre-production sample?
Yes! Please include this request to the “Special
Instructions” box
during checkout, or contact us
with your request. Most items have a nominal
charge, usually $35.00 plus added production time for your order.
What
imprint
colors are available?
We can print your artwork in almost any standard color.
Indicate any
special colors needed in the special instructions box. For PMS match, a
$45.00 PMS color match charge will apply. PMS color will be matched as
closely as possible but cannot always be guaranteed. For specific color
choices, click here.
Are there
discounts on
your
pricing for resellers?
No. Our factory direct pricing as shown is already at our
tightest
margins and lower than industry standards. Should you choose to mark up
pricing for your own profit, we will maintain your confidentiality.
Can I change something
on my
order once submitted?
Provided that we are notified by both telephone
and email and no later than 3:00 pm EST, we
can usually accommodate quantity, color, address and imprint color
changes within 1 hour of a standard production order submission, and 15
minutes of a rush order. Although any changes made after this time may
not be reflected on your order, we will do our best to accommodate you,
usually at no charge.
What is your
cancellation/refund/return
policy?
Provided that we are notified on the same day of order
submission, both
by telephone and by email,
and no later than 3:00 pm EST,
cancellations with no penalty are accepted within 30 minutes standard
production order submission, and 10 minutes of a rush order, based on
the timestamp on your order submission. Orders are custom and
considered final and shippable when placed. Orders must be cancelled in
writing prior to production. Any charges incurred by us up until the
time you cancelled will be charged including art charges, screen
charges, dyeing costs, etc. Due to the custom nature of printed items
they are not returnable or subject to refund unless the fault in
production is ours. The blame for items not received on time lays
solely on UPS or the shipping carrier. For more information, see Production,
On Time, Shipping & Transit Delays.
What
is a “Screen
Charge”?
Screen charges are charged per color imprint, per item.
Merchandise
with no imprint or logo will not be charged a screen charge. Screen
charges are charged to cover the cost of cleaning, chemically coating,
proofing, and preserving a custom screen to print your unique logo or
imprint. Although not all screens can be saved once used, we usually
save the screens for up to 2 years allowing identical re-orders to be
placed with a lower, “exact re-order” screen charge. A screen is coated
with a photosensitive chemical, and your imprint/logo is then washed
out. This allows ink to be pushed through the open areas, pressing the
ink onto your item. Each product has a screen shaped and created
specifically for that product.
“What is a
Setup
Charge”?
Setup charges are waived on orders or combinations of orders
greater
than 1000 pieces. Standard merchandise with no imprint or logo will not
be charged a setup charge. Setup charges cover the complex cost of
processing, setting up, calibrating, printing, drying, and test running
the product on your order from start to finish. This is critical to
ensure achieving quality results. One completed, the results are sent
to our quality control department, and once approved internally, the
order is released into production.

front?

credit, we no longer offer payment by C.O.D.

clips on your art. Best to sandwich between 2 stiff paperboards. We
suggest enclosing a photocopy for marking any instructions. Be sure to
note if art needs to be returned. If not indicated, it will be
discarded.

Do
you accept word
&
clipart files?
Although embedded and clipart files are low resolution and
may not
always work, send us what you have and we’ll do our best to make it
work.
What types of files
are
best for
my art?
For 1 color art, we suggest a .tif or .tiff file reduced down
to 1
color (black & white), (aka 1 bit) and saved for PC (not
Mac/Apple). Reducing to grayscale also will reduce file size for easy
transport. Its always best to crop out unused area.
For multi color art, we suggest vector art files such as .eps
.ai .psd.
To preserve font integrity, we suggest text saved to curves and saved for PC (not Mac/Apple). We
can also use .pdf and other popular formats.
JPEG and GIF files are low resolution files, and we prefer to
use the
above listed files. As a rule, send us the best type of file you have
and we will do what it takes to make it a perfect sharp crisp and clean
imprint.
Can you draw /
create
/fix art
for me?
Absolutely! Our in house art department is unusually talented
and
highly experienced and layout, design and color, usually at no charge.
We can offer several choices of fonts, clipart and layout for free.
They will surprise us and you at their gift for getting it the way it’s
supposed to look! Should your art need serious and extensive CPR, we
will notify you of any possible charges in advance.
Can I fax you my art?
We certainly don’t recommend faxed
art, but if that’s the
best you’ve
got, send it, and we will do what it takes to make it a perfect sharp
crisp and clean imprint.
What
size
should I make my art?
Each product has its own imprint area. If you aren’t sure,

Production,
Product & Shipping FAQ's
|
What
are your minimums?
Most items are shown at their lowest
possible minimum quantity. If you
need fewer, call us to see if we can meet your needs.
Can I buy blank
merchandise?
Most items we offer can be purchased with no imprint. In most
cases, we
do require purchasing a case minimum, at a lower cost price. Call us to
find out specific product information.
What
is
production /
lead /
turnaround time?
We usually get your item out the door in less than 7 working
days. We
offer Fed Ex and UPS Ground, 3 Day Select, 2 Day and Next Day shipping.
Determining exactly when they arrive will depend on your choice of
delivery service. If you need an exact date of delivery, or have a
specific date needed, please call or email. Standard production time
differs by product, and ranges from 24 hours to 21 working (business)
days. Many items are available faster using our rush service. Although
your order is processed immediately, actual production time begins to
count the day after all order and art approvals are received. Rush
production time may begin sooner. Ask
us for an exact date for a
specific item. We’re glad to help.
How much is
shipping
on
my order?
The cost of shipping is determined by
your location and weight and is
calculated once your order is placed. If you need an acurate shipping
quote, call
or email us. The estimate generated by our online calculator is
intended
to provide a general approximate, but due to certain calculation
complications, may not be accurate. Actual shipping costs will be
billed accurately
according to what actually ships, and billed on your final invoice.
How fast can
you ship?
How long
will shipping take?
We ship standard domestic orders by UPS ground. UPS does not
guarantee
ground service delivery time, which ranges from 1 to 6 days, but has
99%+ reliability, as an industry leader. In the event there is a need
for faster service, we can ship UPS 3 Day, 2 Day or Overnight service.
We will occasionally ship using Federal Express or Federal Express
Ground Service. Non domestic, Alaska, and Hawaii orders will usually
ship via USPS. Ask for
more details if you have a specific need.
Can I pick up
merchandise directly and save on shipping costs and
transit time?
Our items come from different facilities across the United
States. We
try to select a location based on most flexible production schedule and
a location closest to you, to minimize your freight costs. Because of
the last minute selection process, it makes it difficult, if not
impossible to tell you in advance where your items will ship from.
Should it be imperative that you pick up your items personally, let us know, and we will try to
accommodate you.
Can
you ship on my UPS / Federal Express / Shipping account number?
In our experience, when we break from our streamlined
production
methods, there tend to be errors. We have found, that when we attempt
to bill 3rd party, among other problems, we often we get billed by the
carrier, just the same. The process to correct this is tedious. As a
result, unless it critical, we decline shipping via 3rd party billing.
Do you ship blind? Do
you drop
ship?
Yes! Many distributors, wholesalers and other companies use
us to ship
to their end customers as our factory-direct prices allow for sizeable
profit margins. Simply indicate in the “Special Instructions” box
during checkout that you need the order blind dropshipped and we will
not place return info on the boxes and there will be no invoices or
packing slips.
Do you ship
internationally or
to APO and FPO?
We ship directly from the factory. APO and FPO shipments are
no
problem, and we appreciate military orders and offer unconditional
30-day billing to our military friends. We can and do ship large
quantities directly to anywhere in the world. Be sure and notify us of
ANY special sizing or labeling requirements for APO shipments.
