International rates & customs fees will vary depending on country & tariff fees. - No Shipping amount is listed on the order because we cannot know those charges until the order is completed, boxed, and weighed at time of shipping.
- Client Supplied Goods: We will not be responsible for bleeding or other imprinting problems due to the nature or quality of customer-supplied goods, including product material, colors, sizes or dimensions, nor for any damaged goods we receive from the client. Allow 3% to 5% for over & under runs on all orders, (including promotion items, screenprinted or embroidered apparel or goods, printed numbers, print materials, signage, etc) that may experience a misprint in the imprinting process. This could entail machine malfunctions and if this occurs the client is responsible for replacing the goods that were misprinted/machine malfunctioned at their cost. EFX will re-setup, re-imprint the misprinted items at no cost. We are not responsible for any merchandise once shipped to the client. Client is solely responsible for examining their own goods before shipping them to us for imprinting. Be sure to order extras if you are needing exact quantities, as additional imprinting at a lesser quantity break will be priced with higher imprinting charges and setup/misc charges.
What kind of artwork can I send? And, what if I don’t have artwork?
Please send us high resolution vectored artwork or 300dpi resolution artwork in a psd, pdf, tiff or eps file. Please do not go onto the internet and pull off art and try to change to 300dpi, as this will not work. All artwork has to be created at high resolution. If you need help with design ideas or creating high resolution art, we are happy to help. Our art department can create anything you would like. There will be a fee for art services.
Do you keep my art on file?
Yes, we keep all your artwork on file so it can be used for reorders or on other promotional or apparel items.
Where do I send my artwork?
You can either attach it during the order process online or email it directly to customer care department.
Can I specify a PMS color for my imprint?
Yes! Keep in mind however, that in some cases there is an additional charge for this service in order to get the specialized ink if an exact match is required. There are also a few products where, due to the limitations of the imprinting process, exact PMS matching isn’t possible. Your Customer Care Representative is happy to help you with this. If you don’t require an exact match, but would like us to be ‘as close as possible’, we’re happy to help. Just let us know which colors we should be working towards in the ‘additional comments’ section in the order process, or just let your customer care representative know.

We will charge automatically the extra cost for overage items at time of shipping and invoicing your order. Typically our orders ship exact quantities, so the over and under run is very rare with us.

These are charges to create the screen, die, mold or other necessary items to imprint your specific logo. The miscellaneous charges are film, digitizing, die/mold, screen, custom artwork, etc. and these charges are a onetime charges and is not charged again unless you change your artwork.
Will I see a design proof before my order goes into production?
You will receive a design proof from our customer care department to approve after you place your order online or with our customer care rep. We do not go into production unless design proofs are approved by our client. On embroidered order we also provide a sample sewout that will be emailed to you for your approval at well. This is sewn on fabric only not on the actual item.
Design Proofs: All Design IT, Design Proof or Mockup product pictures are on a size LG or XL model and/or blank product. A logo or text will not look the same (proportionately) on a SM size verses a XL or 2X size product. Please consider this when chooses the size of logo or text you are using in the Designer/Design It or wanting on the product. When actually imprinting on products the logo/text will look different & vary depending on product size, so we will imprint the exact measurement/size (wide) you choose in the Designer/Design It. Design Proofs and/or Product Designer or mockup show approximate location, size of logo, & imprint colors only & is not exact to the physical imprinted product. When in production the location & placement of imprint may vary up to 2" inches (up, down, left or right) based on the size of product (xxs thru 6x). Logos will look slightly different on various fabrics & sizes of product. We recommend an added box/shape behind logos when embroidering on fleece, knit or sweater type materials, to make logo more clean looking, giving it a flat surface to imprint on. Text will not always look clear or thick lines and is determined by type of font. The smaller lines or thickness of font the less clear it will look. Bigger, thicker lines for fonts embroider better. With embroidery, as a general rule the bigger the logo or font/text the better the overall logo will look. The smaller the logo, font/text the worse it will look. Recommended minimum size for logos or text is 3.5 inches wide or larger.
Headwear Policies: Caps, beanies, visors or any other type of headwear products will print or sew differently per batch or run. Each individual cap, hat, (headwear) etc. is not constructed exactly the same & can be constructed by the manufacture 1/4" of an inch or more differently left, right, up or down. With printing or embroidering on a curved surface the logo and/or text can be slightly angled toward the left, right, up or down. Each individual cap/headwear can be printed or embroidered from 1/4" of inch to 1" inch left, right, up or down, depending on the construction of the cap, from one cap/headwear to another. Please do not expect that every individual cap/headwear item will look exactly the same in each order or in a repeat order that is done later. Text will not look exactly the same per cap/headwear. Letters or numbers can be curved or angled due to the curved surface of the cap/headwear. Text on each cap/headwear will not look exactly the same. Manufactures can slightly change headwear measurements on their products at anytime. No Product is sewn exactly the same by any manufacturer on any product!

Can I order in quantities smaller or larger than those shown?
Yes you can order under the minimum quantity. There will be a higher cost for lower quantity ordered but it is available on most items. Please contact our customer care rep to go over pricing options on lower quantities.

Client will be responsible for any necessary reprinting due to shortage within the spoilage rate. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to order more garments than needed for each size or as needed. At times we cannot setup an entire job again for a few items due to lengthy setup and productions times.

Once order is completed, boxed & weighed then shipping amounts are calculated & added to the order. You must decide if you want your shippment to be insured or not by adding a declared value on your order. Any order that is shipped with a declared value insurance is double or more the cost for shipping. Example, if it cost $25.00 to ship standard normal shipping then with a declared value insurance then it could be $50.00 or more depending on the value declared and how many boxes shipped.
If your shipping international there will be customs fees that will be charged to your credit card automatically at a later time as it takes 2 to 8 weeks for the shipping company to bill the customs amounts to us for your order. International rates & customs fees will vary depending on country & tariff fees.

This balance due will include any shipping & handling charges & any charges due as a result of changes to the original order. If initial payment is by credit card, any balance due plus shipping & handling charges will AUTOMATICALLY be processed on same credit card initially provided, BEFORE your completed order can be released for shipping/delivery.
Charges are based on carrier fees & we will not be responsible for any cost variations due to changes in weight, location, delivery time, handling, or any other unforeseen circumstances. Handling charges are $11.95 per location. Some orders may incur additional charges from carrier at a later time when we are billed from carrier & these costs will be charged to our client for their order shipped. We will notify client of additional charges and need a credit card to pay for this. Example of extra or additional charges are; client does not accept package, not available to sign for package and is shipped back to us for reshipping, address was given to us wrong or carrier cannot ship to address given to us by our client.
