CUSTOM ORDERS
-
To begin a custom order, complete our Custom Order Request Form with your event date, product type, quantity, colors, sizes, theme, budget, and any available artwork or inspiration photos.
After reviewing your request, we will contact you with any additional questions, product recommendations, availability, and pricing.
Submitting an inquiry does not reserve your order date. Your order is officially booked only after the required payment has been received.
-
Please provide as much of the following information as possible:
• Product or service needed
• Quantity
• Sizes, if applicable
• Preferred colors
• Event or delivery date
• Theme or design idea
• Budget range
• Pickup or shipping preference
• Print-ready artwork, logo files, or inspiration imagesIncomplete information may delay your quote or make it difficult to provide accurate pricing.
-
Yes. We can help create a design based on your theme, colors, wording, and inspiration.
Design fees may apply when artwork must be created, recreated, cleaned up, converted, customized, or prepared for production. The design fee will depend on the complexity of the request.
Providing an image or screenshot does not always mean the file is ready for printing.
-
Inspiration images may be used to help communicate your preferred style, colors, or layout. However, we may not copy another creator’s design exactly.
We can create an original design inspired by the overall concept while adjusting the artwork to fit your order and our creative standards.
Customers are responsible for confirming that they have permission to use any logos, characters, photographs, trademarks, or copyrighted artwork they provide.
-
Rush orders may be accepted depending on our current production schedule, product availability, order size, and delivery deadline.
Rush fees may apply when an order is needed sooner than our standard turnaround time. Rush service is not guaranteed until availability has been confirmed and payment has been received.
We recommend submitting your request as early as possible.
PRICING & PAYMENTS
-
Custom-order pricing varies based on the product, quantity, size range, materials, print method, number of design locations, artwork needs, personalization, packaging, shipping, and turnaround time.
A detailed quote allows us to price your specific project accurately instead of using a one-size-fits-all price.
-
Minimum quantities depend on the product and production method.
Some products may be ordered individually, while wholesale, promotional, team, party-favor, and specialty items may require minimum quantities. Any minimum-order requirement will be explained before your order is approved.
-
Yes. Custom orders require payment before production begins.
Depending on the order, we may require full payment or a nonrefundable deposit with the remaining balance due before production, pickup, shipment, or delivery.
Your quote or invoice will explain the payment schedule for your specific order.

Design fees are generally nonrefundable because they cover the time spent creating, editing, formatting, or preparing your artwork.
Payment for design work does not automatically include ownership of editable source files. Final artwork usage and file-delivery terms will be stated in your quote or invoice.
-
Quotes are based on the information provided at the time of the request and are valid for the period shown on the quote.
Pricing may change if the quantity, product, sizes, artwork, print locations, personalization, deadline, shipping method, or project scope changes.
Supplier prices and product availability may also change before payment is received.

Available payment methods will be shown on your invoice or during checkout.

Yes. Custom-designed orders generally include a digital proof for review before production begins.
The proof allows you to confirm the spelling, wording, colors, placement, size, and overall layout. Production will not begin until the required approval has been received.
-
Please carefully review:
• Names and spelling
• Dates
• Phone numbers
• Website addresses
• Sizes
• Colors
• Image placement
• Product quantities
• Personalization detailsOnce a proof is approved, the customer accepts responsibility for the approved content. Changes requested after approval may result in additional charges and production delays.

Additional revisions, major design changes, new concepts, or changes requested after approval may require an additional design fee.
-
Screen colors may appear different from printed or pressed colors because screens use light while physical products use ink, toner, film, vinyl, or other production materials.
Colors may also vary based on the product material, monitor settings, printing method, lighting, and supplier batch. We make every reasonable effort to produce colors that closely match the approved design, but exact color matching is not guaranteed unless a specific color-matching service has been approved.

Turnaround times vary based on the product, quantity, artwork requirements, supplier availability, current workload, and time of year.
