Terms & Conditions
ARTWORK REQUIREMENTS
We require artwork files to be sent over in one of the following file formats – pdf, psd, ai, png, eps, cdr, tiff, Jpeg etc. Please make size at least 300 DPI.
We recommend a 2 inch bleed area, as the eyelets are fixed within this bleed area, this ensures your text / images are not pierced by the eyelets.
PRINT READY FILES & APPROVALS
Once we receive artwork files, we convert them into print ready files.
We do not print in pantone colors, we convert all artwork files into CMYK format before we print. This causes a slight variance in color. Once files are converted we email you the print ready files.
There can be a 10-15% shade difference in print quality due to screen resolutions and printer configurations, hence this difference will be considered a good print.
Ensure you thoroughly check the print ready files. (Inc. colors, spellings & layouts etc)
You must reply to this email approving the print ready files, otherwise your files will not be printed.
We are not responsible for any delays in processing you’re order due to a delayed reply.
Print ready file approval emails received after 12pm will be considered as an order for the following day. Please confirm delivery dates with us before placing your order.
BANNER QUALITY EXPECTATIONS
We use large format printers, the printed products are printed to be seen from a distance of more than two meters.
So if you are looking for extremely sharp printing, similar to that of photograph printing in HD, we cannot print to this high specification. Every banner we print is added to our website under our work.
You can see a wide range of actually printed banners, if you are in doubt of how your banners will look; we suggest you look through our work before deciding if we can print banners that fulfill your requirements.
Eyelets and hemming are a free service and there are no warranties for their wear and tear.
Every care is taken to ensure that we prepare banners to the exact size ordered, however there maybe a 1-2 cm variance in the final finish product.
DELIVERIES & PACKAGING
The following timescales apply from the point you have approved the print ready files.
Orders are printed & dispatched within 5-6 working days; we do not accept responsibility for banners not received before your event date if you are cutting it short. Order your banners in good time before your event date.
Delivery timescales do not start from the point when you have made payment; they start from the point print ready files approval email has been received by us.
Banners larger than 5ft x 5ft will be folded and then delivered, this will cause creases and may also cause discoloring on the folded areas. This will be considered a perfect printed and delivered product.
If you need your order to be sent rolled and not folded, you must inform us prior to placing your order and we will inform you of the costs of this special instruction.
All orders are packed in carton boxes, they may be packed in triangle or square shapes.
Free delivery on orders over $75, orders under $75 are charged a standard delivery charge of $12.99.
EXPRESS SERVICE / URGENT DELIVERIES
If you need banners urgently, we can normally deliver within 24 hours; express service charges vary depending on order value. Proceed with your items to check out and choose the express service; you will be able to see how much it will cost. Express orders that are not finalised by 1pm will incur an additional charge of 50% if next day delivery is still required and if we are still able to fulfill the order.

FRAUD & DECEPTION
Unfortunately over time we have realised that not everyone is willing to play fair when using our service. Banners are used and then at a later stage fraudulently tried to be returned for a refund. Every banner we print is photographed and every parcel we send is weighed and quantities of banners are stated within the details of the manifests of the courier.
Any claims being made in relation to our service will be dealt through the strictest legal proceedings and all costs in relation to these claims being raised will be recovered from the customer.
