Jargon

What’s a “PMS Color”?
The Pantone Color Matching System (PMS) is an industry standard color matching and reproduction system. By creating a standardized and cataloged set of colors, Pantone allows various manufacturers in different locations to make use of this system in order to make sure their product colors will match without having to directly contact one another. The actual Pantone guides consist of a large number of thin cardboard sheets measuring approximately 6″×2″ (15cm×5cm) which are printed on one side with a series of color swatches and then bound into a small flipbook. An example “page” might contain a number of blues varying from light to dark, or from a “true” blue toward a more turquoise shade.

What’s “Bleed”?
The bleed is a part of your artwork made to continue a color, design or image off the edge of the material we are printing in. Sometimes we need your design to have bleed in order to insure the ink runs fully to the edge and not stopping short when the paper is trimmed. It is not always required. Only when there is a color, design or image that goes beyond the line where the paper should be trimmed.

Samples

Do you offer Free Samples?
All samples have a material and/or shipping cost.  Most samples as generic random imprinted samples, some could be blanks.

Shipping

Why are delivery, shipping & handling costs (S&H) estimated and not final?
These costs are estimated because there are many factors that affect the cost of delivery. Some of these variables are actual weight, volume weight, final number of boxes or pallets, inside or dock deliveries, domestic or commercial address. Plus, fuel surcharges are assessed by most carriers and will fluctuate with fuel costs.  Therefore, your S&H cost may be different on the final bill/invoice.

Is there a cost for shipping to multiple addresses?
Yes, there is usually a handling cost for each address. For more information please contact us before ordering at (305) 918-2347 or email sales@toplevelpromo.com
