ORDER INITIATION & APPROVAL

Browse our products, choose your options, and add the product(s) to your shopping cart. When you’re ready to check out, click on the shopping cart icon at the top right of the page. If you’re a first-time customer, you will be prompted to register for a free customer account with cdesignsprint.com. After you register, you’ll receive an email asking you to verify your email address. Once you have an account, log in with your email address and password, and continue to check out.

If you requested graphic design, a designer will contact you, usually on the same or next business day after you place your order. Your designer will discuss your ideas, what you want your item to say, and whether you want to use photographs of your own or stock images (up to 5 stock images are included with free graphic design). Your designer will then get to work creating a professional layout for you. A proof (digital graphic) of your design will be emailed to you for review. You can communicate revisions to your designer until you are fully satisfied. Once you approve a final proof, the order will proceed to print.

Cdesigns Marketing is not liable for errors after you have approved your design proofs, including, but not limited to, errors in spelling, grammar, punctuation, damaged fonts, incorrect or missing folds, or finished product size. Once a proof is approved by you, we cannot stop the order and cannot issue a refund.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED ARTWORK AND GRAPHICS

If you will be sending us print-ready artwork, such as logos and images, they must be provided in CYMK color mode with a minimum of 350 DPI.  Print-ready files must be one of the following: AI, BMP, EPS, GIF, JPG, PDF, PNG, PSD, TIF, or TIFF.

Your file will need a blue safety line, a pink trim line, and a black bleed line. If your file doesn’t contain these marks, it is not print-ready.

Files must be flattened and fonts must be outlined.

For AI files, images must be properly linked or embedded.

Cdesigns Marketing is not responsible for fuzzy, distorted, or pixilated images resulting from poor quality, customer-provided artwork.

COLOR PROOFING, MATCHING & PRINTING

Cdesigns Marketing is not liable for precise color matching or ink density between digital proofs and the final printed products. The digital proof we send you will predict your design layout, including image and text size and placement, but it will not guarantee a precise color match or ink density between your digital proof and the printed products. Our low-cost methods of printing, and factors such as the application of gloss coatings and other factors can create color variances within lots and from lot to lot. We strive for a color match, but we cannot guarantee the final appearance of a color. Color and density variations can be as much as 15%.

When ordering products, strive to order them in similar quantities to avoid them being run on different presses where a color variance may be more likely to occur.

Be aware that some shifting can occur during the cutting process which can cause the finished product to appear slightly off-center. For this reason, it is best to avoid designs that have a border.

RESTRICTIONS ON CONTENT

Cdesigns Marketing will not print any material that is copyrighted, unless you have obtained express written permission or licenses to reproduce the material. By acknowledging our terms of service at checkout, you agree that you have permission to reproduce any materials you provide to us for use in your designs.

We will not print any material we deem to include hate speech or that promotes discrimination.

We will not print any material we deem to be sexually explicit, obscene, violent, harmful, false, misleading, or unlawful.

We reserve the right to refuse and refund any project without explanation.

FREE GRAPHIC DESIGN & DESIGN FILES

Where free graphic design is offered, it includes an initial design consultation, up to 5 stock images from our image library, high-resolution images of your own you may wish us to include, full layout with custom graphic elements, images, text, and reasonable revisions as necessary to achieve your full satisfaction. 

Free graphic design does not include custom illustrations and technical drawings. These can be done for an additional cost. Contact us to request a quote.

Cdesigns will store your graphic design files for you, to make reordering easy. If you need to make minor changes to your graphic files before ordering a reprint, we will implement them at no additional charge.

If you pay a fee for graphic design services, we will provide your graphic design artwork files to you upon request.

In instances where we provide free graphic design, Cdesigns retains ownership of the design files it creates for you and does not release the files upon request unless you wish to pay our regular design fee to purchase your design file.

If you pay a fee for graphic design services, we will provide your graphic design artwork files to you upon request. 

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET MY ORDER?

Your order will ship as soon as your payment has been received and print production is complete. For planning purposes, account for graphic design time (if applicable), print production time, and shipping time outlined below. Order well ahead of the time you need your materials, so you don't find yourself in a crunch.

1) GRAPHIC DESIGN TIME (if applicable) - After the initial design consultation, we will email a design proof within 1-5 business days for most projects. Delays in reaching you for the initial consultation, delays in your responses to our proof(s), revisions, and large or complex projects can extend the time range.
 
2) PRODUCTION TIME – Print production will begin as soon as you email us approval of your final design proof(s). Most products can be produced in 2-8 business days. A few products require more time. Unforeseen shortages in labor and availability of materials can sometimes extend this range. 
 
3) SHIPPING TIME – Shipping time is the length of time it takes the shipping carrier to deliver your package(s) after your order has been printed. We offer 4 methods of shipping:
 
A) Express (1-2 business days)
B) Standard (3-7 business days)
C) Economy (8-14 business days)
D) Freight (varies)
 
Not all shipping methods are available for all products. Shipping times are estimates - NOT guarantees. They vary based on the order destination and the shipping method you choose. The day after your order has been shipped is the first day of shipping.
 
You will receive an email notification when your order ships. This email will include a tracking number(s) so you can track the delivery progress of your package(s) with the shipping carrier.
 
NOTE that holidays will extend order turnaround times.  

Cdesigns Marketing always strives to deliver orders as soon as possible. In no case shall Cdesigns Marketing be liable for any consequential or other damages resulting from any delay in shipment or delivery.

You agree not to hold Cdesigns Marketing liable for delays in shipment(s) caused by weather, shipping company delays, international customs issues or any other circumstances beyond its direct control.

In the event of unexpected equipment failure, malfunction and or technical problems that delay the printing process, rush charges/fees will be refunded or waived where applicable.

While some items you order may be shipped together, the nature of gang-run printing is that each item you order may be completed at separate times. Each of your items will ship as soon as they are ready.

For large volume, palleted print orders, we will provide a custom shipping quote. Often there is a savings if you have a shipping dock and forklift available.

SHIPPING ERRORS & LOST PACKAGES

Cdesigns Marketing can file a claim for lost or damaged orders, but only if the order is $50.00 or more in value and it has been 30 days or less since the package shipped. Cdesigns Marketing is not responsible for 3rd party shipping errors, omissions or damaged shipments.

CUSTOMER SUPPLIED INCORRECT ADDRESS

When a package is not delivered due to an error made by the customer in submitting the proper shipping address, Cdesigns Marketing will reship the package with corrected address and charge an additional shipping fee for the shipment. 

ORDER CANCELLATION

For print-only orders, if you have not yet approved a proof, Cdesigns Marketing can help you cancel your print order. For orders involving graphic design, we can only cancel your order if graphic design work on your project has not yet commenced. Please email theteam@cdesignsmarketing.com if you wish to cancel an order. 

RETURNS AND REFUNDS

Since each custom order is unique to our customers and has no resale value, all sales are final. If we verify that we made an error, we will reprint the order. We do not issue refunds or credits.

Customer must notify Cdesigns Marketing of any defects discovered in the ordered product within 2 business days of order delivery. In order to receive replacement, customer must return 100% of the received product within 14 days from the date it was delivered. All orders that are being returned must be shipped at customer's own expense.
