How do I prepare my artwork so you can reproduce it? (back to top) You can prepare your artwork in several different ways.

Can I specify which ink colors to use? (back to top) If not specified, we will use industry standard colors. If your design requires a specific ink color, please specify a color using the Pantone Color Matching System (PMS #). While every effort will be made to match the requested color as closely as possible, we cannot guarantee exact color matches due to the nature of the printing process. Can I specify which fonts to use? (back to top) Yes, but you must provide A Better Idea/PrintMyLogo with the font. Keep in mind that certain fonts that are too thin or too detailed may not reproduce well. For questions about fonts, just give us a call at 401-841-5646. How will you ship my order? (back to top) Our preferred standard method is on your own UPS account, although we can use FedEx Ground or UPS and add it to your charges.  If shipping via an expedited method, we will ship UPS Air or FedEx Air. Shipping rates are pre-paid with your shipper account number or on your invoice. Please include your acct# on your order form. Why should I order promotional wearables? (back to top) Promotional products & logo sportswear benefit small businesses especially because the initial cost ratio vs. the rate of response is much higher than traditional forms of advertising such as print and radio. Also, if your promotion is useful and handy, your recipients will use them for YEARS, whereas a newspaper ad, radio ad, etc. may be read/heard only a few times and may not illicit a response. I can't decide. Do you have any ideas? (back to top) Yes! We have the experience and are the experts in promotional products. We have plenty of great ideas, good strategies, resources, and other wearables available.  Just tell us about your event for a "better idea"!   Home >  Frequently Asked Questions Don't see what you're looking for?
