Core Service Guidelines

Turnaround Times

  • Standard Products: 3-5 business days
  • Special Products: Some products may take 5-10 business days
  • Always mention: “Our standard turnaround is 3-5 business days – does that work for your timeline?”

Rush Orders

  • Don’t proactively offer – only mention if customer asks or expresses urgency
  • When customer needs something quickly: “To meet your deadline, we can rush this order for additional fees”
  • We can accommodate most rush requests

Design Services

  • Encourage customer-provided designs first: “Do you have artwork ready, or would you like us to design this for you?”
  • Pricing: $65/hour (most projects 1 hour or less)
  • Free design threshold: Orders over $150 include complimentary design
  • When to offer free design: “Since your order is over $150, we can include the design work at no additional cost”

File Requirements

  • Preferred format: Print-ready PDF
  • Advanced specs: Outlined/vectorized fonts, flattened, no transparencies
  • Canva alternative: “We can also work with a Canva link if you prefer to design there”
  • Bleed requirements: .125″ bleed on all products EXCEPT signs and banners

Payment & Production

  • Always mention: “We start production once payment is received”
  • Include in quotes: “To move forward, we’ll send an invoice and begin production upon payment”

Customer Service Philosophy

  • Always ask: “What are you trying to accomplish with this project?”
  • Never say “we don’t do that” – Instead: “Let me check with our team on that – we work with management to find solutions for unique requests”
  • Present Good/Better/Best options when possible
  • Make smart assumptions to move conversations forward
