Setup Charges

See individual items for setup charge. Setup is per product/imprint/color. If order consists of multiple scents, flavors or colors, a minimum of 50 pieces per variation will apply. Stock patterns with no customization will not incur a setup charge.

Repeat Setup

Please reference previous purchase order number. Repeat Orders are subject to another setup charge for 1/2 original set up charge as long as there are no changes to the artwork. NOTE: Any changes to the artwork or its colors or a change in the product is not considered a repeat and will incur a new setup charge.

Color Matching

See individual items for available material or container colors. We are unable to color match material or container colors with the exception of dye-sublimated items. For dye-sublimated items we are able to reference PMS® Values from the PANTONE® Solid Coated book to ensure color accuracy but are unable to guarantee an exact match. NOTE: If PMS® Values are not provided on a dye-sublimated item, SnugZ is not responsible for color accuracy of the final print.

PMS® Matching
PMS® Matching of the imprint color can be requested on screen-printed items for an additional charge of $25.00(v) per color. The digital print process does not allow for PMS® Matching, but to ensure color accuracy it is suggested to call out PMS® Values from the PANTONE® Solid Coated Book to be used as a reference at no extra charge.

Variable Data (badges)
$0.67(c) per badge, per every 2 lines of variable data. Information must be sent in SnugZ spreadsheet template. Contact customer service for template.
 
Variable Data Printing

All orders requesting variable data printing (personalization), must submit variable data information on SnugZ variable data spreadsheet template. Template is located in the download section of each product web page.  Formatting instructions provided in the template must be followed exactly for sheet to be accepted in software.  Orders without correct formatting will remain on hold until formatting issues are corrected.  SnugZ offers a service to edit/correct formatting issues for a fee of $50.00(V) per 250 lines of variable data.

 


 
Artwork
Artwork Overview
We highly suggest submitting all artwork via Email as vector files with all text converted to curves or outlines. Set document color mode to CMYK and call out colors as PANTONE® PMS® if specific colors are required. When unable to send vector art, a resolution of at least 600D DPI is suggested for all gifs, jpegs, and tiffs (non-vector formats) may be accepted. Please note that non-vector formats can have poor print quality so you may be contacted. Files should be submitted WITH your order to PURCHASE@SNUGZUSA.COM to ensure no delay in processing.
 
Preferred File Formats AI

Adobe® Illustrator®, EPS – Encapsulated Post Script and PDF – Portable Document Format - Adobe PDF. NOTE: Artwork created in another program and saved as another file extension does not guarantee acceptable artwork. (i.e. a jpeg saved in Illustrator as an .ai file does not make it a vector file.)

Acceptable File Formats TIFF, JPEG, GIF, PSD

Photoshop Document or Camera-Ready Art (see below). NOTE: Formats above will not always be acceptable depending on the product ordered and the quality of the file.

Submitting Art

We strongly recommend submitting all artwork in vector format with all fonts converted to outlines, preferably as an Adobe Illustrator file. All colors should be called out from the PANTONE® Solid Coated book. Please note that fluorescent and metallic (PANTONE® C) colors in the 800’s are not accurately reproducible by a CMYK printing method. We ask for vector artwork to insure the best printing of your artwork. Non-vector artwork should have a minimum resolution of 600D DPI. Non-vector files may be unusable and may be subject to artist charges depending on their file type, quality and intended use.

Trademarks

All logos, copy and other materials submitted by customers for our use in producing items ordered will be accepted as fully compliant with all applicable laws regarding trademark, service mark, copyright, right of privacy, patent, or similar protection.
