  • 03 )    Printing Characteristics

    • Screen Printing:

      • Screen printing is the process for smaller quantities and the highest quality images. Screened images are very sharp, crisp, and deliver good ink capacity. This process also gives the ability to overprint multiple colors to solve registration issues in some art, multiple color logos are printed and re-registered one color at a time. The registration can vary and multiple color logos are limited to size as per product.
    • Digital Printing:

      • Digital printing is an inkjet process that uses CMYK, otherwise known as 4-color process (4-CP). It is great for smaller quantities.
      • The process can hold great details, however it is not great for Pantone color matching. All PMS/spot color logos are converted to 4-CP. Most Pantone colors will appear different when converted to 4-CP. This is not considered a defect. This conversion can be referenced with a Pantone Color Bridge book.
      • When choosing this print method, if you have other items ordered that will be printed via other printing methods, they will not look similar. This is also not considered a defect.
    • Ink Color Match:

      • MadeToPromo offers free PMS matching. We take great pride in matching PMS colors, however color match is only guaranteed +/- one shade.
      • If a purchase order says to use a PMS# and the color described does not match the number given, we are not responsible. We do not check to see if the PMS# provided is the color stated.
    • Ink Odor:

      • Products are printed with inks. Sometimes vapors may become trapped in the plastic packaging before they have completely dissipated.
      • The inks are dry but there may be a residual odor in the package from the vapors.
      • Some colors of ink have more odor than others and the amount of ink coverage can affect the amount of odor.
      • This odor, should it be present, is not considered a defect. It is similar to painting a room in your home. Should this odor be a concern, remove the paper products from the plastic packaging and let them air to eliminate the odor. Normally, once the products are placed for use, any odor that remains will quickly dissipate.
  • 04 )    Printing Disclaimers

    • Maximum Imprint:

      • Imprint area specifications can be found on our product pages. We recommend staying 20% under this area. Unless specified at the time of order, we will enlarge or reduce your image to fit within these areas. Artwork is enlarged and reduced proportionally by both width and height. Therefore, if you request maximum imprint area, only one of the dimensions may be maximized.
  • 05 )    Proofs

    • Proofs Policy:

      • Proofs are required for all orders, including reorders.
