It is important to note that custom PMS colours apply to ink printed onto white paper and may vary in appearance up to 1 to 2 shades depending on the type/colour/texture of the material they are printed on.

Please note on 10+ Day service, some of these services are provided factory direct and can be impacted by national holidays in other countries. To ensure your order is delivered in time please call customer service to confirm prior to placement. As 3 Day is our standard service, it will automatically be applied to purchase orders which do not specify a production service regardless of requested shipping dates and/or pricing listed on the order.
Order Acknowledgement Confirmations:
After your order is processed you will receive an Order Acknowledgement from our team. The Order Acknowledgement acts as a binding agreement between you and Promo Brands. Please note that any changes to pricing, instructions, and details must be made at this time to avoid delays. When you approve an art layout the agreement clearly states that you have received your Order Acknowledgement, have read our Terms and Conditions and are approving the Art Layout. From that point you have confirmed everything is correct for production and claims or adjustments made after an approval may not be accepted.
Special Requests:
Any special requests, delivery labels or documents, special contact information etc must be clearly stated on your Purchase Order. Please do not include important order instructions in the body of emails and/or in other correspondence as this information may be missed. Information and instructions not clearly stated on a Purchase Order will be considered non-essential and the factory will not be responsible for special requests or instructions that are not part of the official Purchase Order received.
Changes to Orders:
Changes to the PO must be made in writing and must be approved by the factory prior to the changes becoming effective. Submitting a request without any confirmation by the factory will not be considered a valid change and customer will be billed for the original order. Customer is responsible for any and all incurred costs prior to change approval. If customer does not receive a confirmation of the change it may not have been received or approved. Changes made to orders after proof approval will have their production timelines reset, as any change made at this stage requires the order to be pulled from production. The only exception to this is changes in a delivery address. We highly recommend checking all details connected to your Purchase Order prior to placing it.
Order Cancellations:
Cancellation requests must be in writing. Some orders may not be cancellable, dependent on whether production or shipping has commenced. The customer is responsible for any incurred costs such as set ups, printing, proofs, artwork, packaging and any other expenses incurred by the factory. There will be a charge of 20% of the item cost with a $60 net, minimum restocking charge for blank items plus all applicable return freight costs.
Rush Orders:
Refer to our production times for our range of rush services. From time to time, the factory may need to switch carriers in order to ship on time. Production time starts after all approvals have been received by factory, including credit, print ready art, paper proofs and pre-production proofs. Rush orders have firm requirements and guidelines that are as follows. Please note failing to adhere to these requirements may result in delays with your order. Please make sure before ordering that the product has the 24 HOUR RUSH Logo showing on the website, as not all products are available on this service. Check stock to ensure the inventory is available for your order. Min/Max quantities for rush ordering are shown on the item’s page under Rush Pricing, and these are the only quantities that can be rushed. Rush production is limited to 1 colour/position imprinting (unless otherwise noted). Order and artwork must arrive by 8am the day prior (all order details must be complete and artwork must be in a usable vector format). Art layout must be approved by 11am the day prior to the anticipated despatch date. Completed orders will ship the next business day, by end of day, and cannot be shipped via third party freight. Please contact us for requests outside of the guidelines for preapproval before submitting an order. Prepaid accounts must also include payment at time of order.
Repeat Orders:
Repeat set up charges are $30 per colour, per location (unless otherwise listed) for all in stock orders with identical art to the previous order. Overseas orders may have higher repeat set up charges, check with your customer service representative prior to placing an order. Repeat set up charges are free from any other supplier. Simply show that an order has been produced previously with another supplier and we will waive the set-up charges for that order. Please note that for exact matching of a previous order customers are encouraged to send in a sample for matching (as printing/material shades can alter from order to order). Artwork will be kept on file for 24 months. Orders after 24 months will be treated as a new order. All repeat orders require proof approval, and are re-setup electronically when placed. It is important to proof these orders carefully to ensure the layout is correct.
Unbranded Orders:
Unbranded orders require approval of an Order Acknowledgement prior to despatch. You will receive this after your order is placed and must electronically sign it before you order can be picked from inventory. While most unbranded orders despatch within 24 hours failure to approve the Order Acknowledgement and/or issue prepayment (as applicable) will result in delays.

Holds:

The factory will not be held responsible for errors in artwork layouts that have been reviewed and approved (signed off) by the customer.
Docu-Sign and Our Three Points of Approval:
Prior to production, a final approval request is sent through our Docu-Sign Signature system. By signing through Docu-Sign you are acknowledging the following three points of approval. One, that you have received your Acknowledged Order confirmation and agree with the pricing, details, delivery and anticipated despatch date. Two, that you have read our Terms and Conditions and agree to abide by them. Third, that you are approving the final art layout attached to the Docu-Sign, and confirm your understanding that all production times begin after approval. You will receive a production notification after final approvals are received with a revised anticipated despatch date (as applicable).
Production Notifications:
Once your Order Acknowledgement and Art Layout have been approved you will receive a Production Notification with an anticipated despatch date shown. While we strive to ship every order on it’s anticipated despatch date the date is only an approximate ship date based on the service level you are ordering with. If you have a critical delivery date (In Hands) it must be clearly stated on the purchase order so that this information can be correctly conveyed to our production team.
Despatch Notifications:
Despatch notifications are sent every evening after hours.
