FAQS
Find quick answers to common questions about our services, ordering process, printing, shipping and more. Explore the FAQ section to get the information you need, fast.
What information should I feature on my promotional products?
Typically, your organization’s logo is a must-have on promotional items.
Other frequently added details include your contact information, website URL, tagline, inspirational messages, and social media handles.
What is the typical production time?
Most items on our website are usually dispatched within 10-14 business days. However, products sourced from overseas may require longer lead times. If you're uncertain about the production time for a specific item, feel free to reach out to our sales team for clarification.
What if I need my order urgently? Can you accommodate rush jobs?
Definitely! We offer a selection of products with 3-day and 24-hour production options. Thanks to our strong relationships with suppliers, we can usually expedite orders when necessary. Keep in mind that some suppliers may apply a surcharge for this faster service.
My logo appears small. Can it be enlarged on the product?
The size of your logo can vary based on the product's design and the type of decoration you choose.
Although there are certain limitations on how large we can print, we always strive to to maximize the logo size within the available print area.
The print size is determined by the designated print area shown in the product's line drawing.
Is it possible to receive a sample of the product?
Certainly! We can provide a sample to help you make an informed decision.
However, we prefer to provide a quote beforehand to ensure you are aware of the pricing should you decide to place an order after reviewing the sample.
Can I receive a printed sample of the product with my logo?
Yes, we can provide a printed sample, although it's generally not necessary. As part of our approval process, you'll first receive a digital mock-up of your logo on the product. Most clients find this sufficient. If you prefer a physical sample, please note there are additional costs involved, including setup, product, and branding fees. These costs can vary depending on the product and tend to be higher for single samples as the factories are geared for large orders, so doing a one-off sample is costly. However, it can be arranged if needed.
How do I place an order?
Ordering with Promotions247 is easy and follows these four steps:
Request a quote or place your order online, or give us a call at 1300 22 47 48.
Send us your logo or artwork, and we'll prepare a proof for you to approve.
After you approve the proof, we'll start production.
Your products will be customized and delivered to your address by a trusted carrier.
What’s the process for obtaining a written quote?
To get a written quote, simply visit the product page and click on “Request Quote.” Fill out the form, and we’ll provide you with a written quote within 24 hours at the most.
What is the process for placing an order?
Just request a quote, and our Inside Sales rep will contact you to arrange the order.
I need fewer items than the advertised minimum. Can I order a smaller quantity?
Most of our products have minimum order requirements set by our suppliers. However, in some cases, we may be able to accommodate smaller quantities. Please reach out to us, and we’ll check if we can meet your needs.
I’d like to talk to someone in person. Do you have a sales rep who can visit us?
Our business operates primarily online to keep costs down and offer the most competitive prices. As a result, we don’t have sales reps visiting clients. However, we handle all inquiries and support via phone or email. With our extensive experience, we’re well-equipped to address any requests you may have.
What is indent ordering?
In the branded merchandise industry, an indent order, also known as a custom factory order or factory direct order, involves having your products produced in an overseas factory and shipped directly to you.
These orders provide more customization options and are generally more cost-efficient due to economies of scale, though they do come with longer production times.
What locations do you ship to?
We ship to all locations within mainland Australia and Tasmania. For islands that we cannot ship to directly, we can deliver to a forwarder on the mainland.
Can I have my order shipped to multiple addresses?
Yes, we can arrange for split deliveries to different locations for most products. However, please note that this will be more costly than delivering to a single address.
We also offer the option for multiple individual location deliveries. Reach out to us for more details on this service.
Which shipping couriers do you use?
We select the most cost-effective courier based on where the products are coming from.
Typically, we use TNT, DHL, or Startrack for delivering most of our products.
Why are the items in my order shipped separately?
We operate multiple factories and warehouses across Australia. Depending on the items you order, they may be sourced from different locations. Consequently, they will be shipped separately and may arrive on different days.
Can I use my own courier for delivery?
Yes, depending on the product. Please discuss this with your representative to confirm.
Will you keep my logo on file?
Yes, we store your logo to streamline future orders. This way, whenever you place a new order, we have everything ready, speeding up the process and making it more convenient for you.
Can you assist with the design?
Absolutely. Our team of talented graphic designers can work their magic to make your logo look amazing.
Just reach out to us and share your vision for the final product.
I have a multi-colored logo. Can it be simplified to one color?
Yes, it can. For some products, a single-color print is more cost-effective, and multi-color printing may not always be possible.
Simply send us your logo, and we’ll take care of the rest.
How can I see how my logo will appear on the final product?
To ensure you're completely satisfied before production begins, we provide a Virtual Proof with every order. This proof shows the exact color, placement, and size of your logo placed on the product.
What are setup charges?
Setup charges are the fees for getting the printing equipment ready, including things like dyes, screens, prints and moulds, as well as the initial setup time. Usually, it's $75 for the first order and $55 for any repeat orders.
What is a vector file?
A vector file format is a type of graphic design file that we need to ensure your logo can be resized accurately and clearly for application on the product you want.
What file format should I provide for my artwork?
We need your artwork to be submitted in a vector file format, such as .eps, .ai, or a high-resolution PDF.
What does “base” mean in printing terminology?
In printing, a base refers to an undercoat applied beneath your screen print. This base layer helps ensure that your screen print appears vibrant and true to color. A base print is necessary for screen printing on colored garments but is not needed for white garments.
