Decoration Methods
What decoration method should I choose?
Knowing the right way to decorate your logo on a product can make all the difference. And there are so many options available that choosing the right one might seem a little tricky.
To help, we’ll assign you an account manager who can walk through decoration options to help you choose what works best for you. After you order by phone or online, our team will also verify that what you’ve chosen will be the best way to imprint your logo. Nothing gets decorated until you approve an e-proof which will include a digital representation of how your logo will look on the product. If you have questions, call us 1-800-843-2247 during business hours and we would be more than happy to answer your questions.
