Important Branding Information and Terms & Conditions

Vector files are the preferred format to send your design/logo files to Payless Promotions along with any Branding Guidelines or Styleguide documents your organisation has. Vector files are typically .ai or .eps file formats. Many branding methods cannot use pixel files, or if your design/logo is not of suitable quality, Payless Promotions’ art team will redraw your design to the best of their ability.

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.

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.

The branding’s layout and scale on the product shown on the art proof are for positional reference only and may not be proportionately to scale.

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.

Many items are loaded onto branding machines by hand. We take care to align the product with the branding correctly. However, with multi- coloured Embroidery and Screen Print, slight movement can occur between applications and is considered acceptable. Slight variances in branding positioning between products may occur also.

Branding may fade or wear over time through general use. Printed Metal items are particularly susceptible to this. We strongly recommend Laser Engraving on metal items to avoid this occurring.

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.

There are a limited number of embroidery thread colours available. We match your logo colours by eye to the ‘Madeira Classic’ thread colour closest to and most suited to your design.

If you do not provide a PMS (Pantone Matching System) colour for your design, our art team will decide on one for you (where required). This is done by either using auto-conversion software in Adobe Illustrator or by eye.

Your screen or device may not provide an accurate representation of product and branding colours. Digital Print and Sublimation branding methods appear darker on the finished product than when viewed on a screen or device.

Embroidery swatches are sometimes provided after digitisation to ensure the logo’s colour and quality are acceptable. Design changes to digitised logos requested due to a change of preference will result in a second setup charge.

Payless Promotions cannot guarantee that QR codes or barcodes will be scannable on the finished item due to branding variances out of our control. You are acknowledging this risk by approving your art proof.
