Notes: Send 300 dpi or higher resolution images when possible. Please send uncropped images. We will crop photos to the best fit for the item ordered. Image size of approx 4x4 inches or larger works best. When more than one subject is in the photo, make sure that the subjects are very close together.

We will not color correct or refocus your image. Close-ups and images with bright colors will produce the best results.

If sending a picture via mail, place the picture between 2 pieces of cardboard so it doesn't get damaged in route. We will return your photo with your order.

A safer method to send your photos would be UPS since it has a tracking number. It costs more but it depends upon how much you value your picture.

Turn-around Time

Turn-around Time = Production Time

Turn-around Time is the time it takes for us to manufacture your order after a proof has been approved. That time varies depending upon the production schedule and can be affected by the time of year. The busy part of a sports season and the Christmas season all increase our production work load.

Delays in proof approval = delays the time it takes to ship your order. Once a proof is approved an order is place into the production schedule. It still takes time to make the order.

Turnaround time does not include shipping time.

All estimated turn-around times note on item pages are subject to availability.

We usually send a digital proof via Email within 24 hours for custom personalized items that require one. We can ship most items within 3 - 5 business days after receiving approval of a proof on in stock items. Due to certain types of personalization some items may take longer and the exceptions to this rule are noted in the product description.

When determining if we can meet your deadline please remember to factor in the actual time it takes for shipping the item from our location to yours. "Ships within 3 - 5 business days doesn't mean you will have your order in 3 - 5 days. It means it will leave our facility in 3 - 5 business days.

A Business Day = One Day 9am - 5pm CST Monday - Friday
The Office and the Production Shop are closed Saturday and Sunday, therefore Saturday and Sunday are not considered business days.

Orders placed after 2:00PM CST will be processed the next business day.

We are not responsible for shipping delays due to weather conditions (delays from road conditions due to flooding, snow, etc) You need to allow for such unexpected delays when placing your order.

Express Shipping options are available on all items.

Expedited shipping options shortens shipping time, not production time.
