Promo 101

What you need to know when ordering promotional products

  • Most items quoted include a one color, one location imprint.  There is almost always a
  • running charge per item and or per location when a second color or imprint location is
    desired.
  • The majority of items have a setup charge for imprinting.  Note: When a second color or location is requested, there is almost always a second setup charge.
  • Keep in mind that what looks good on paper, might not always look good embroidered.  While your computer has unlimited color options, embroiderers only have selected thread colors, and will match your printed color as closely as possible.
  • It is very important to submit your art in the correct format.  Printers only accept Vector files such as .eps, .ai (Illustrator) and .tiff files.  Printers can not embroider, silkscreen, etch, or laser engrave with .jpg, .gif or .bmp files, so make sure that you get the correct format to avoid any additional art charges.  The Finer Things does have an artist that can re-create art if needed.
  • At times printers might recommend changes to art when there are objects that are too close together, or colored in, due to chances that colors might blend and ruin the details of your art.
  • PMS (Pantone Matching System) is an established standard of colors used by printers and publishers.  Printers can match your company colors based on this system, or use whichever color is closest to the art provided.  Printers may charge a fee to match specific PMS colors.
  • Occasionally there might be an overage or shortage on your order.  Vendors reserve the right to a 5% overage or underage on all orders.  Only exactly quantities shipped will be billed.
