Screen Printing Terms and Conditions

 
Turnaround Times:

Our standard turn-around is 7-10 business days from the time we receive both your 50% deposit and artwork approval. This is our average turnaround and is based on customer needs and current production schedule, and it is not guaranteed. On orders of 500 or more we may require more time. If you need your order by a specific date, please let us know, this may require a rush fee if that date doesn’t fall within our standard turn-around. Please note we are not open for national holidays and these days will add to the turn-around time of your order.

 
Rush Orders:

Rush Orders may be available within 24-72 hours and are an additional $50.00. Rush orders that are after those hours and before turn-around time are subject to a 35% upcharge.

There is a $30.00 charge for any returned checks. A late charge of 10% per month will be charged on all delinquent accounts over 30 days. Payment of the first half of the invoice will act as approval of the invoice and digital proof even when no other written approval has been given.
