Why don't you offer free freight on custom printed orders?

We do not offer free shipping on printed orders because our costs to prep, handle, track, process and print are much higher than orders processed directly through our distribution center.

Couldn't I save money by ordering directly from your suppliers?

Most of our suppliers work through high-volume distributors. We are able to provide the lowest possible prices based on the high volume of our orders.

Are your products made in the United States?

We make every effort to find a vendor in the USA for all of our products.

Why does my artwork have to be submitted according to your art requirements when it has worked for other printers in other formats?

We realize there is a substantial cost involved with printing products and want to ensure that your expectations will always be met or surpassed.
