Important Branding Information and Terms & Conditions
Important Branding Information
A
Please provide your design/logo as vector files (typically .ai or .eps) along with any branding guidelines. Pixel files are often unsuitable for branding methods. If your design quality is insufficient, our art team will redraw it to the best of their ability.
B
Item colours will vary between product types and manufacturers. A royal blue polo shirt will not be the identical colour to a royal blue pen.
C
Branding colours will vary between product and branding methods. A royal blue screen print will not be the identical colour to a royal blue embroidery thread.
D
The layout and scale shown on the art proof are for positioning reference only and may not reflect exact proportions.
E
Whenever a design incorporates small gaps where the item colour shows through, there is a risk of these small gaps filling in. Screen Print, Pad Print, and Embroidery branding methods are particularly susceptible to this.
F
While great care is taken, branding placement may vary slightly due to manual machine loading. Minor misalignments or colour shifts with branding methods (especially with embroidery and screen printing) are unavoidable and fall within acceptable industry standards.
G
Branding may fade or wear with normal use, especially on printed metal items. For durable branding on metal, we strongly recommend laser engraving.
H
Light colours onto dark items can look dull when compared to your digital art proof. We recommend a base print to avoid this. However, this is not possible for some products.
I
There are a limited number of embroidery thread colours available. We match your logo colours by eye to the thread colour closest to and most suited to your design. Thread colours will look different in different light settings (eg. indoor vs outdoor).
J
If no PMS (Pantone Matching System) colour is provided, our art team will select the closest match using autoconversion software in Adobe Illustrator or visual assessment where required.
K
Colours displayed on your screen or device may not accurately represent the actual product and branding colours. This applies to all items and branding methods. If colour accuracy is critical, we strongly recommend a Pre-Production Sample before bulk order.
L
Embroidery swatches can be provided after digitisation to confirm colour and quality. If you require a swatch prior to bulk production, please request a quote and leadtime. Changes to the design at this stage — other than corrections to colour or quality — will incur an additional setup fee.
M
We cannot guarantee QR codes or barcodes will be scannable after branding due to factors beyond our control. By approving your proof, you accept this risk.
N
