Placing An Order
What is the Actual Process for Placing an Order?
This is a simple process. After you have called (877-603-LOGO) or filled out our request form and we have determined which item you are interested in we will fax over a sales order for you to approve. After we received your sales order approval we will fax you a paper proof of the artwork for your order. When the approval for the art has been received our company will process a purchase order and send it to our supplier. After your order is printed it will ship from the factory to you (or any place you need the items to ship to). The invoice will follow thereafter, unless you have prepaid for the order.
How Can I Place an Order?
From a product page on our site please submit the quote request form and we will get started with placing your order. You can also call in your order to 1-877-603-5646. Our office hours are Monday -- Friday 7:00am through 5:00pm Pacific Time.
What is Your Minimum Order?
Please see our Minimum Orders section.
What is Considered a Rush Order?
Please note that normal production time for custom imprinted orders is 10 working days, plus shipping time. Any order needed in less time than this time will incur rush charges. Note: some suppliers offer "Rush Service". Additional charges for "Rush Service" will apply. Please be sure to get a freight estimate for your Rush Orders! Also, be sure to tell your sales representative the exact date that you need to have your items in-hand (the deadline date or event date).
What Additional Charges Will I Incur When I Place an Order?
The price you see is called the "per unit price". Additional charges include, but are not limited to: set-up or screen charges, PMS charges, freight charges, and overruns. All products are shipped F.O.B. factory. Freight will be prepaid and added to your invoice.
Are There Additional Charges if I Print in More Than One Color or One Location?
Yes, please call for additional charges for two or more color imprint color, additional locations, or for PMS color matches.
What are Your Payment Options?
We accept VISA, Master Card or a company check. For your convenience we will also accept American Express for an additional 5% surcharge. First orders must be prepaid in full. Our terms are Net 30 for approved accounts. Note: the invoice date is the date that the order ships. A late charge will apply to invoices that are paid late. We do not ship orders COD.
Corporate Accounts
We will be happy to set up a corporate account. Please download our credit application from the link below. Credit review typically takes 3 weeks and new orders will need to be pre-paid until the review process is complete. If your order is urgent, please use a credit card or call us to make other arrangements.

Samples and Proofs
Samples - Purchase with Confidence
We are happy to offer you free samples to help you with your purchase decision.
Here's how it works:
- LOGO Expressions will provide up to two free samples to our existing customers. We will even pay for ground shipping.
- If you are a new customer we are happy to take care of ordering samples for you for the cost of the sample plus a $15.00 handling fee. The cost of the sample will be deducted from your order once you place it, so the sample ends up costing you nothing.
- Samples can be ordered by emailing or calling a Promotions Specialist M-F 7:30am-5:30pm PST at 877-603-LOGO (5646)
- Once you become a customer you can expect an increasingly lenient sample policy as we continue to work together on future projects.
- Due to occasional misuse of our sample policy, we reserve the right to refuse free samples to any party at our discretion.
Faster Shipping
- If you require expedited shipping we can use your UPS or Fed Ex account number or charge your credit card - it's up to you!
- If you have any questions about our sample policy please call us M-F 7:30am -5:30pm PST for personal assistance!
eProof - Free with Every Order
- Our expertly trained artists will prepare an electronic proof of your artwork, and even make recommendations if you would like assistance. These eProofs can be emailed or faxed to you for your review and are typically sent along with your Order Acknowledgement.
Pre-production Proofs
- We can actually produce an actual proof of your item with your imprint prior to running your entire order. We recommend this on all orders where time permits.
- Pre-production proofs typically incur an additional charge of approximately $50.00, plus the price of the item, screens and setups and can add 5-10 days to the order process as the factory needs to set up to run just one item. Please let your Promotions Specialist know if you would like a Pre-production proof.
Misc.
What are Overruns/Underruns?
Overruns are created because most suppliers in our industry print a small percentage over the requested quantity (they do this in case they find some poorly printed pieces in the order when the product is checked by their QC depts.) Some suppliers ship +/-5%, others +/-10%, and other suppliers ship the exact quantity. The bottom line is you will only be billed for the exact number of items that you receive. We reserve the right to ship and bill you up to 10% over or under the quantity ordered (plastic bags are up to 25%). If the order is placed with a credit card your card will automatically be charged after the order ships for any overruns or additional freight costs.
What is Your Sample Policy?
We are happy to send you samples and charge you accordingly (item plus freight). Note: the amount of the sample/freight will be applied to the cost of your order when placed.
Why are there Price Breaks?
The more you buy – the more you save! Prices are per piece, based on the quantity you order. Most prices include a one color, one location imprint, except where otherwise noted. Important note: pricing is subject to change without prior notification. Call our office for price verification. For your information, some products can be ordered in "less than minimum" quantities. Please call for additional charges.
If I Plan to Resell These Items, What Do I Need to Provide Logo Expressions?
We would need to get your Resale Number and a Copy of your Resale Certificate that we will keep on file.
Why Does the Final Product Color Vary From What I Saw On-line (or in a Catalog)?
Product colors vary due to variations in monitors and photography. The product color you end up with might vary a little from what you see. Please order a sample if the final product color is important to you.
