Frequently Asked Questions

What is a minimum order? Can I order less than the minimum listed on your website?
A minimum order is the minimum quantity required for purchasing a particular item. Most items will have a different minimum required when placing an order. Most of the time, the minimum quantity shown is based on the minimum amount required for a factory to print your order, but if you reach out to us through live chat or by phone, we can inquire on your behalf, as some factories are more flexible (there might be an additional fee for ordering less than the minimum). Or, we can see if we can find a similar item that is offered in a lower quantity.
You can reach us though live chat or over the phone and we can verify if the item can be assorted at no additional cost. Although most of our items can be assorted at no additional cost, there are some that have to be ordered in certain quantities per color and a select few that cannot be assorted. When assorting product colors, customers want to be mindful of choosing product colors that will take the same imprint color – if they choose some colors that need a darker imprint color and some that need a lighter imprint color, that could add an ink change charge.
A setup charge is a charge that our factories charge to set up a screen to create each personal imprint. Setup charges depend on the item(s) being ordered. If the item is being re-ordered and the artwork is staying the same, you will not pay another setup charge. If the item is a new item, you will be charged a setup charge, as our factory will have to create a new customized screen, unless there is a free setup promotion on the item.

The imprint area is the area on each product that will display your logo and unique artwork or message. The size of an imprint area will vary, depending on the size and type of item you choose, and the dimensions are always available on each product’s page on our website.

Crestline makes it easy to submit your artwork and message. We work with these common types of art files:

image file types
We ask that you send us instructions for any additional information for your artwork. Four-color process or dye sublimation items images should be at least 300dpi at the size that they will be printed. If you are submitting a layout, please also send each of the images from the layout as individual files. We will work to optimize your brand message on your selected products. This sometimes may result in image or imprint adjustments.

Only have access to your logo on a T-shirt or napkin? Don’t worry about it! We know that it’s often difficult to get ahold of a high-resolution image of your logo, so Crestline’s Graphics team is ready to work with any type of logo you may have available.

You may upload your art online while customizing your or email your artwork to cgeneral@crestline.com. Please be sure to include your order # and contact information.

After you submit your order, we will email you a digital proof of your final product to approve before you are charged. Although there are dotted lines in the proof to represent and give you a visual of the imprint area that we will be working within, these lines will not print.

Production days are the number of working days it takes a supplier to fill your order. Production time begins after your order has been processed and you have signed off on your proof. Note that production times do not include weekends or holidays. Most items take about 4-5 production days, plus a few more days for shipping.

The time to produce and ship an order is different for every product that we carry and production times start after proof approval and payment. It’s best to plan ahead and order your items well in advance of your event. However, we know that is not always possible. For situations where you need custom products ASAP, we have a collection of rush service items that can be produced in 24 hours.

We accept three different forms of payment: Credit Card, Check and or Purchase Order. The Credit Cards accepted are Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover Card.

What is the Return/Refund Policy?
Returns: We promise that your custom imprinted items will be delivered as approved, free from material defect, or Crestline will issue you a refund.

We're confident that you'll know just what your product will look like before you buy with our free virtual proof and sample program.

Disclaimer: Crestline takes great care to make certain that products advertised on our website appear as true to their actual colors as possible. Due to the wide variation in color presentation among computer monitors, however, it is impossible to ensure that all customers will receive an accurate representation. For this reason, we regret that we cannot guarantee product colors will match customer expectation. Crestline offers up to $10 in product samples (excluding apparel) free of charge as a service to our customers. If you are uncertain about a specific product or color, please request a sample.

In select product cases CA Prop 65 requires warning labels to be applied to products or product packaging being sent to and used in that state. In such cases customers will be given notice prior to orders being dispatched for production, allowing for product substitutes if desired. If you would like more information or have any concerns, just send a note to productcompliance@crestline.com or call 866-488-4975.
