We do not charge setup fees for laser engraved plastic name tags and desk plates, or digitally printed name tags and desk plates. We charge a nominal one-time screen charge for screen printed name tags.

We do not require a minimum order for most of our products.  The only products that require a minimum order are Screen Printed name tags and Button tags.  Both of these items require a minimum order of 100 pieces.

Please note: Screen printing is an older printing method and is not used very often now that digital printing is available. We produce very few Screen Printed name tags. The majority of the name tags we produce are either engraved or digitally printed, as these types of name tags best suit our customers' needs.

Yes. We will guarantee 'next day' shipping of your order for a fee of 10% of your total order ($10.00 minimum charge), plus applicable express shipping charges.* Example: if your order totals $100, the rush fee for that order would be $10, for a total of $110, plus the express shipping method you choose. The "rush fee" does not include express shipping charges. *(Note: For new orders, the customer must still approve their tag design before shipment. To qualify for next business day guaranteed shipping, we must receive new orders by 3 p.m. EST and the customer must finalize the order by 6 p.m. EST the same day).

Once you have chosen a specific item, (style, color, etc.), you will be on the Product Information page showing the base pricing for that product.  Above the image of the product will be a place to enter the total quantity of that item that you want to order.  Enter the total quantity you need and click the "Begin Order" button.

Unfortunately we cannot accept orders over the phone or by fax, all orders must be placed through our online ordering system. This method of ordering offers many advantages, such as: 1) it allows you to verify information as you provide it for your order, 2) provides a trackable order in our system that you can monitor, 3) provides automated email notifications concerning your order, 4) helps eliminate setup fees and helps keep prices low by providing a streamlined ordering process, 5) provides an "Express Reordering" system to easily place new orders for your existing design, 6) you have the ability to see your order history and print invoices, 7) you have the ability to update your billing and shipping information as needed

You will choose a size for your name tags during the online ordering process. You will choose from various templates representing different name tag sizes. If you want a different size other than the examples shown, just indicate this size in the Custom Size field at the bottom of the screen and then click the "Use Custom Size" button. Use a decimal format when entering size. (Ex. use 2.5, not 2 1/2)

Name tag orders - Yes, for most types of name tags we will prepare a proof of your name tag design prior to production. This service is provided for new customers or for new tag designs. Desk plate orders – We will prepare a proof of your desk plate design if you are using a logo on the design. If no logo is used we have an industry-standard setup for desk plates. Note: We do not prepare a proof for reorders of the same name tag design, Uniform name tags, Military name tags or desk plates without a logo.

You will view your proof from within your account on our web site. Sign in to your account and click on the ‘Review Proof’ button or click on the link from the email you received. When you approve the proof you will be directed to the payment and shipping pages of the checkout process. Note: We do not prepare a proof for reorders of the same name tag design, Uniform name tags, Military name tags or desk plates without a logo.

Our goal is to have your proof ready within 1 business hour. This applies to our regular Monday - Friday business hours of 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. eastern standard time. However, we can't always anticipate the number of orders we will receive and a 1-hour proofing time may not always be possible. Under these circumstances, your proof will be ready no later than by the end of our next business day. We will send you an email notification when your proof is ready. You can also sign in to your account at any time to check the status of your proof. Note: We do not prepare a proof for reorders of the same name tag design, Uniform name tags, Military name tags or desk plates without a logo.

No. We prepare a proof of one name tag or one desk plate using only one name from your order. You will not see a proof of every name submitted in your order. This is one way we eliminate setup fees. The names and information you provide for your name tags or desk plates will be used EXACTLY the way you provide it. In the unlikely event that we produce a name tag incorrectly, we would replace the tag at no charge to you.

We will send you an automated email notification after each of the following steps: - When you request a proof, - When your proof is ready for viewing, - When you have made payment for your order, - When your order has shipped. *Note: As these are automated emails, sometimes your email client will sort them into your ‘bulk’, ‘spam’ or ‘junk’ email folders.

Not in most cases. Most orders will actually begin the production process shortly after you make payment and complete the order.

For name tags, the base price also includes a Pin fastener. If you do not see pricing for a product, you have not gone far enough into the selection process.

The best way to obtain a quote and see pricing for a product, is to actually begin an order. During the ordering process, the options you choose and the selections you make for the product will effect the pricing, and a 'per piece' price will be shown. A subtotal will be shown if you place the order in your shopping cart. Once the order is in your shopping cart, you can also estimate the shipping charges by providing your shipping zip code. You are under NO obligation to complete the order at that time.

Shipping charges will depend on which shipping method you choose when going through the checkout process.

Expedited shipping costs are calculated based on your zip code and the weight of the order, and can be estimated once you place an order in your shopping cart.

UPS Ground: 1-5 business shipping days after shipping date,
UPS 3 Day Select: 3 business shipping days after shipping date,
UPS 2nd Day Air: 2 business shipping days after shipping date,
UPS Next Day Air: 1 business shipping day after shipping date

Tracking numbers are only available for expedited shipping services. If you chose an expedited shipping method during your checkout, your tracking number will be sent to the email address associated to your account. This email is an automated email sent by the courier and can sometimes be sorted to your ‘spam’, ‘junk’ or ‘bulk’ email folders. There is no tracking information available for orders shipped for free via USPS 1st class mail.

This answer is targeted more towards orders that have been shipped by 1st Class mail, as UPS shipments can be tracked with the tracking number we provide. - If you chose the 1st Class Postal mail shipping option, your order can take as long as 14 business days to arrive.

Click on the "My Account" link and sign in to your account. Then click on the order number to view the shipping address you provided. If the shipping address is correct and 14 business days have not passed since the order shipped, the order is probably still in route to you. If it has been longer than 14 business days and you still have not received your order, please contact customer service. Missing orders should be brought to our attention within 30 days of the shipping date of the order.
