QUESTION
How long will it take?
ANSWER
This depends somewhat on what you order. Generally organizing the art work and proofs takes about a week. Once you have approved the art work it will take approximately 10 to 14 working days for your order to be produced and ready for dispatch. Express service is available for some products at an extra cost. We always try to meet deadlines. Please advise your deadline when ordering!! If you give us all the info we need in the beginning it will speed up your order so check our order checklist.

QUESTION
I have a lot of images but don’t know which are suitable.
ANSWER
Different forms of decorating require different art files. You can find more information on our Artwork page. In general for printing we need vector art. If you don’t have good images we use BIG STOCK IMAGES who have loads of print quality images at very fair prices.
QUESTION
What is the minimum quantity?
ANSWER
This depends on the items you choose. Generally the less expensive the item the higher the minimum quantity will be. As all decorating methods involve set-up and min print costs so the more you can spread those costs over a larger number of items the better the price will look. A good way to look at it is if you printed 50pcs of what you would think of as a $.50 pen the cost would be crazy probably $3.00 each. Minimum Pricing available here!
