PRODUCT REPRESENTATIONS
Every effort has been made to ensure all product images, proofs and virtual proofs are accurate and true to the product. However, due to changes in stock, screen color variations and other factors, we encourage you to request a sample before placing your order so that you can be sure the product is exactly what you’re expecting.

ORDERING PROCESS
After placing an order and sending artwork, you will be receiving an e-Proof via email to confirm your order for final approval.


Any delays in receipt of customer signed approval may result in higher delivery costs or an inability to meet delivery dates. If any corrections are required, please indicate them on the form or via email.

Once the order has been approved, the order may not be cancelled. Each e-Proof includes the following:

  • Sales Order
  • Artwork (layout of your artwork)
  • Digital Proof (digital rendering of your product with your decoration method)
  • Product Proofs (optional):
  • Item Price + Decorating Charges + Set-up Charges + Overnight Shipping Charges*
  • Regular FedEx Ground may be requested if time permits.

 

Limelight USA, Inc. may require a product proof depending on order size and imprint type. All offshore orders require a product proof or image proof be approved before proceeding with production.

All product proof approvals are final and must be made via email to the appropriate representative. Any delay approving a product proof will add an additional day to production. Prompt approval allows orders to stay on schedule.

After e-proof is approved, any changes like the following (see below) will be subject to a $25(V) processing fee:
 

 

  • change of shipping address
