Digital/Electronic/Emailed Artwork Upload:

Once you have added your order to your shopping cart and begun checkout, you will be able to then submit your artwork electronically, or click here to email art.


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 greyscale 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 (718) 888-9858 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.

Should you alone require ownership of any order, artwork or information, and you notify us accordingly, your confidence will be respected.


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, etc.

Ordering 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 processed) 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. .


Do you have a price guarantee? I found the same item elsewhere for less. Will you match their price?


We will BEAT it! We are so confident in our absolute lowest pricing that we can offer our guarantee to have the best prices on our products. If you find it elsewhere for less, we guarantee to sharpen our pencils to beat any advertised price on the same product and save you at least 10% or more! 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 time stamp 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.

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 greyscale 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.

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?


We want to save you money. To keep prices on our products the lowest in the industry, we need to calculate shipping costs after you place your order.
That way, we can get an actual "live" shipping cost from UPS, and compare prices to get you the lowest shipping cost possible. Since online shipping calculators are highly complex and not exact, we choose to not inflate the shipping cost. Call us at (718) 888-9858 for a quick and instant quote from a live person, or click here to email us. The cost of shipping is determined by your location and weight and is calculated once your order is placed. 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 drop shipped 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.
