Production time varies depending on the requirements of each order and current levels of demand. It is generally 5-15 working days after all approvals. (We do not begin production on orders without approvals in writing! Both sales order and art must be approved first. We will email you ASAP after receiving your order details.)

For time-sensitive orders, please call ahead to confirm current production times. Mention in-hands date(s) when submitting a PO to ensure orders can be fulfilled on time. Rush orders are not always feasible and may have additional costs. Note that orders for blanks have faster turnaround time.

Please check inventory online before placing orders.

Inventory is reserved on a first-come first-served basis, when we receive complete Purchase Orders. We cannot hold stock without a formal Purchase Order. If we are out of stock on an item/color, we will contact you to see if you'd like an alternative, or if you'd like to wait until our next estimated restock date.

 

ADDITIONAL COSTS

 

17. PRE-PRODUCTION PROOFS

Standard pricing applies to screen printed orders only (not process). Add 2 weeks to normal delivery time.

Process color: $72.00(G) for rain umbrellas or $125.00(G) for patio umbrellas; plus cost of item, run charge(s), setup(s), and other charges if applicable. Add 2 weeks to normal delivery time. Click here for more details. Spec samples may have different terms and conditions.

 

18. ART PROOFS

PDF virtual proof(s) are automatically provided for every order, along with sales order acknowledgement and the art file at actual size (which we use for printing). Each order thus has a minimum of 3 files for review. All files must be approved before we begin production. There is no charge for these initial proofs, although multiple requests for proofs/revisions may incur charges (see below - artwork services).

Electronic proofs may vary from actual printed product. Virtuals are approximations used solely as a visual reference for color(s) and location(s), and are not to scale. We will print the art at the size listed, using the logo art file(s) provided. Artwork is always maxed out within each item's maximum imprint area, unless otherwise requested. Proofs are sent within 24-48 hours of receiving an order plus its associated camera-ready art. Orders are not processed if art files are missing.

 

19. RE-ORDER SETUP/SCREEN

Art saved for 18 months only. Rain Umbrella: $32.50(G) for each color, each design. Patio Umbrellas: Panel $95.00(G), Valance $68.00(G). These prices are for Screen Printing only; they do not apply to other forms of imprinting (process color and laser engraving are always full price and do not have reorder discounts). For more pricing details, click here.

 

20. DROP SHIPS

These are not kept on file and turnaround time is usually 24-48 hours. Requests for large numbers of virtuals may incur a fee. For immediate virtuals, please click the virtual tool button on each item page (near the buttons for art templates and estimating freight). This flexible and convenient web tool offers multiple options for creating unlimited free virtuals 24/7.

 

27. PMS MATCH

$32.50(G) per color, per design. We will mix inks to achieve the closest PMS match. With fabric printing, an exact match cannot be 100% guaranteed. Please note that we cannot perform PMS matches for metallic inks or inks that are not Pantone Coated. There is no PMS match charge when using our standard ink colors (see above).

 

28. INK CHANGE

$32.50(G) per color. Minimum quantity per order is 12 pieces. This discounted charge is applied to orders with multiple ink colors which use the same screen, instead of charging for additional screens.

 

29. PICK CHARGE

$6.25(G) per color, after the first two umbrella colors. This charge is applied to orders with multiple umbrella colors, to account for the extra time and effort preparing the order.

 

30. RUN CHARGES

Screen printed umbrellas include a 1-color, 1-location imprint in their listed price. For additional colors or locations, run charges are as low as $1.25(G) per umbrella. Click Here for details.
