FAQ

What are your Artwork Requirements?

Our Graphics Department works with CorelDraw but has the capability of importing or working with various program files. We do require vectorized graphics for most imprinting projects (not jpeg, png, gif or bitmap). Graphics are most commonly supplied in EPS (.eps) or PDF (.pdf) format. If you are providing files in CorelDraw (.cdr) or Illustrator (.ai) format, please make sure to convert fonts to curves/outlines. There may be Artwork charges if work is required to edit or re-create your artwork to meet our requirements. NOTE: Hi-res PNG or JPG files may be suitable for digital printing projects.

What are your normal Delivery Times?

Delivery times depend on the product, production time and your location. Production times on most promotional products are usually 3 to 4 weeks. Rush production services are offered by most of the factories at an extra charge. We also have access to special rush service on certain product lines at no extra cost for those needing faster delivery. Regular production times on our crested apparel products is usually 1 to 2 weeks. We try to accommodate all orders in a timely way.

Are there Minimum Quantities or Less Than Minimum Orders?

In most cases, certain products have a minimum quantity. Please note that less than minimum orders may require additional charges. Full details of all charges will be included in our written proposal prior to production of your order.

Are there any Other Charges?

Orders may require set-up charges such as Artwork, Screen, Imprint or (in apparel orders) an Over-size surcharge or Digitizing charge. There may be shipping charges, depending on your location and requirements. We always include full details of all charges in our written proposal to our client before proceeding with order.

What are Over-runs & Under-runs?

Due to the nature of the Promotional Industry, and according to industry standards, over or under runs of imprinted items may occur on certain products. It is a quality control process where factories will imprint more than the quantity ordered, then discard any items that do not pass inspection. Since all items are custom imprinted with the client’s logo, and do have value and cost, we will invoice for any extra over-runs, or credit for any under-runs. Every effort is made to minimize over or under runs. Some factories will offer exact quantity specifications for a surcharged price, however we often find that this cost is higher than accepting normal over-runs that may occur. Please advise us in writing if you require exact quantity on your project and we will adjust pricing and billing accordingly. All Dapper SAP proposals include clear reference to this industry-wide policy.

What are the Payment Options?

Our terms of payment vary, depending on the client or project. Most online projects require prepayment. Others may be handled with a deposit and balance due prior to shipping. Once a relationship has been established with client, we can offer various terms. Our terms are always included on our written proposal to the client. We do accept Visa, Mastercard, Wire Transfers, Interac eTransfers, Paypal and credit-qualified institutional cheques.
