Creo Promotional Solutions FAQs

Find the answers to frequently asked questions!

General

When will my custom products order for my business be ready?

Screen printing, heat seal and embroidery on apparel typically take 2-3 weeks, rush services may be available. Promotional products such as pens, drinkware, cooler bags (hard goods) typically take 12 -15 working days, some suppliers ship faster. Some suppliers have rush services available. If you have an event date, please contact your sales rep and they’ll work with you to help meet your event date. . 


How will my branded promotional items be shipped?

It depends.  Typically hard good times will ship directly from the vendor direct to your location. Courier used will default to that of the vendors choosing. If you want orders shipped on your account, vs being billed for freight, it is possible with most vendors but needs to be noted at the time of the order.  Branded apparel goods are typically shipped from our local decorators via local couriers, or can be held for pick up at Creo. 


Do you ship custom products to multiple locations?

We do. If you have franchises in multiple locations, we can promptly and safely ship your order to whichever location you specify. 


Do you have a step-by-step order process I can track?

At the moment, no. However, you may keep in touch with us to monitor the progress of your shipment. Our friendly staff will be happy to keep you updated on your shipment details. Once an order ships you will be notified by our staff to let you know when it should be arriving at your location. 


Can I cancel or return my custom-branded products order?

No, once the proof has been approved, the order goes into production and cannot be cancelled.  However, there are exceptions. For example, if the product is damaged, it arrived in the wrong colour, or something else is wrong with your order, you can bring it to our attention. 


Can I get a physical sample of my corporate products before ordering?

Promotional & Business Services

Do you have a minimum corporate or business product requirement?

Yes, but the minimum will vary depending on the item. For example, our 12-item minimum for hats and hoodies doesn’t carry over to office accessories and tradeshow handouts. Minimum order quantities are set by our vendors.  Rule of thumb, the lower the price, the higher the minimum order. 


Can I get my logo on my corporate products and accessories?

Yes, you absolutely can! We can imprint your logo on almost any corporate product or accessory that you can imagine! Everything from business card holders, beanies, and calendars, to plaques, bumper stickers, and mouse pads to name a few. 


Can you match the colour embroidery to my corporate logo?

Yes, we can. We offer custom manufacturing services to create personalized apparel for your business. As a result, we can match the colour embroidery to your logo for your business. We ask you to send your brand standards so we can follow them for every order. With embroidery, we will do a test run of the logo for you to approve the threads chosen prior to running the logo on the goods. 


How much does it cost to embroider my corporate products?

Embroidering is based on a couple of factors such as quantity, the stitch count per garment and thread colour modifications. You can expect to pay between $4 to $10 for standard size logos on items such as a uniform, polo shirt or  caps. Generally, this includes ~ 5,000 stitches but not the item itself. An item requiring more stitches (for obvious reasons) will cost more. When we quote you on the item you are interested in, we will quote you with the logo included.
