Proofs
A final proof is sent for customized orders above $500 and requires customer approval before starting production. Final proofs are available upon request for orders below $500.

There are two types of final proofs available, depending on the product you choose:

1. A digital PDF mock-up delivered by email (usually within 1-2 business days). 

2. A customized product sample (as you would receive in your order), shipped within 3-6 business days.

Printing Method
Embroidery - Embroidery involves using a needle and thread to create a raised, textured design on a fabric, such as cloth or leather. The first step [in embroidering promotional products] is to scan and load a logo or design, followed by programmable sewing machines that are designed for precision, making their stitches exact and precise. Lastly, the embroidered item is cleaned up by brushing it and snipping any loose or extraneous threads to create that polished, high-quality look.

Additional decorating methods and locations may be available. Chat with us for custom inquiries.
