Printing / Packing / Shipping Disclaimer Guidelines
Order Acknowledgement and Processing
Orders must be received by 2pm (EST) for processing: otherwise, the order will process the following business day. All orders must be completed by the customer and approved by Tooters Promotions before production or shipping of order. This includes all production artwork, special packaging, inserts, and labeling materials.
Upon receipt of your acknowledgement and/or art proof, please sign and return the confirmation within 24 hours to avoid processing delays. Failure to do so may result in shipping delays and/or additional shipping fees, etc.
Electronic Art Requirements
Art must be production ready, defined as follows:
The art must be in layered, vectored format with all fonts converted to outlines.
A hardcopy of the art should be submitted with your Purchase Order.
Artwork can be accepted in the following formats: Adobe Illustrator – (.ai, .pdf) or .pdf files
Unsupported artwork will incur an art fee of $60 per hour to recreate. Recreation will be done to the best of our ability and may not be exact. Additional time may be required to complete the proof.
Proof delivery schedule will depend on the quality of the artwork submitted and any changes that need to be made to the artwork. Proofs are typically ready within 2 business days after receipt of the order, art file and payment information.
Email proof will be sent at no charge in a .pdf file format for approval. If a color proof is sent, please be advised that the colors are as close to the imprint color – not an exact PMS match.
Art is to be emailed to your Sales Representative as well as artwork@tooters.com
All artwork received will be maxed out to our imprint area, per item, unless otherwise specified.
1st proof and 1st proof revision are done at no charge. After that there will be a $20 revision fee per revision.
Registration of Multiple Color Artwork
Artwork with a tight registration must be approved by our Production Manager. Avoid very fine lines both in type and illustrations.
Industry standard is up to 1/16” depending on the size and shape of the item being printed. This tolerance is considered acceptable and meets industry standard. Tighter registration requirements will be at the discretion of Tooters Promotions.
Colors are matched as close as possible to the PMS Book. Due to the material and ink manufacturer differences, there may be slight variances, we make every effort to get as close to the PMS color as possible.
Printing over a seam may distort the image on the item. We make every effort to prevent this, but occasionally it may occur.
Production Time
Standard production time is 10 – 14 business days after the receipt of your Purchase Order, Art file and payment information. Any order changes (Qty, art, color, etc.) will affect the production date.
