NO SETUP FEES
Artwork
Yes, once your order is placed our design team will begin working on your artwork approval. It is important to check over the artwork approval for your promotional products before you approve your artwork.
At Express Promo, we offer unlimited artwork amendments. We want your promotional products to be exactly what you envisioned. If you’re not happy with the artwork approval we send you, let our team know what changes you have and we can revise your artwork.
An EPS file is best when placing your order. We can also accept ai, svg, cdr, high resolution png or jpeg file and pdf files. The file type will be shown in the name of the file, e.g mylogo.eps or mylogo.pdf
A vector EPS image is made up of lines and curves joined together via anchor points set by mathematical calculations. Vector EPS images are easy to edit, perfectly scaled without compromising the quality and able to apply PMS colours. Vector EPS images are ideal for logos, illustrations, mock ups and line drawings.
There are multiple ways we decorate our products including embroidery, screen printing, pad printing, digital printing and more. All of our decoration options can be found under Branding Solutions at the top left of our website above the logo.
Once this box drops down, you can then click on each decoration option for a description, advantages and limitations for each method.
For the majority of our items, if your decoration is in colour it is best to supply the coated colour from the Pantone® Matching System (PMS). PMS colours are the industry standard colour matching system used by all promotional product manufacturers and suppliers. This PMS guide can accurately specify the colour of logos to ensure that your printed products meet expectations. If you’re unsure of your colour, we can match it as close as possible to your supplied logo.
Many of our items include the pricing for a one colour print as this is most economical. We can convert full colour logos to one colour. If you would prefer to keep your branding with multiple colours, our team can quote this for you if needed. If you’re unsure, contact our team and we can advise the best decoration method for your chosen product.
Once you’ve chosen your item, you can upload your logo before placing the item in your cart. Simply select the Click Here to Customise button which will drop down allowing you to view the decoration fields. Click the button that says Choose File which will then prompt you to browse for your file. In the additional details for customisation field you can add any additional text you would like such as the web address or any notes regarding the logo such as ‘make logo all blue’. If not additional text or comments are needed, type ‘logo only’. These details will be sent directly to our design team once your order is placed so they can begin creating your artwork approval.
All of our maximum decoration areas shown on the artwork approvals are as large as they can be. This area is dependant on the shape of the product and any curves and has been deteremined by extensive testing on each product added to our website. Some of our items may include a roll print where we’re able to wrap print around the item whereas items that are pad printed require a flat surface so sizing is limited.

Once stock has been arranged or artwork has been approved it may not be possible to adjust your order as production may have already been scheduled and commenced. We will do our best to alter the order for you however we can not guarantee it will be possible after approval.

With such a large range of promotional products, comes a range of production timeframes. The majority of our items will be decorated and dispatched in under 1 week from final approval and payment received however there are some items that are made to order and will take longer. The production times are listing on each product listing. We also have our 3 day express options if you need your promotional items in a hurry! Production times commence after final approval of your artwork and full payment is received.
If you have a tight deadline, we still may be able to help! Get in contact with our team and we can check what items we have in stock that we can get out quickly for you. Please note, rush fees may apply. Many of our Express Range items also have an option to select ‘Next Day Dispatch.’
An indent item is a custom factory order. Generally, an indent item is physically made from start to finish when you place your order. Indent orders have more customisation options and are usually more economical due to economies of scale. They do however have longer production times. Examples of indent items include wristbands, lanyards and sublimated towels. If the product is indent, it is shown on the product listing via the icon above the pricing table (pictured below) and in the additional information tab. Production times do vary. If you have a deadline, let our team know so we can advise on whether an indent item may be suitable.
