ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: All orders are acknowledged in writing by IMC. Any changes to an order must also be acknowledged in writing before proceeding with the order.

ARTWORK: Electronic File: Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand or Corel Draw "EPS" files. Please include the font files when sending the EPS or convert text to outlines (curves/paths) in the program. We do not accept Photoshop or other raster based images. Important: Do not send art that has been placed in a program such as Word, Powerpoint, or QuarkXpress. Specify colors when sending art to be screened. Please e-mail your artwork and any instructions to your CSR. IMC is not responsible for variations in the artwork if a hard copy/fax is not provided for comparison.

Paper "Hard" Copy: We will accept photographic stats of the logo (at approximately 3") from a print house only. Print outs from desktop printers (inkjet OR laser) will NOT be accepted. For laser engraving, artwork must be black and white line art (no gradients or colors). For screened color logos, the art must be color separated with proper registration marks.

ARTWORK CHARGES: If artwork needs to be touched up, reconstructed, converted to a vector EPS, color separated or manipulated in any way, art charges will be incurred. These charges will be acknowledged before proceeding with the order. Artwork that requires manipulation may add additional time to production. IMC will advise of any changes in shipping dates. Graphic services are billed at $43.75(G) per half hour.

CHANGES OR CANCELLATIONS: Any change or cancellation of an order in process will be subject to costs incurred to date as well as a $62.50(G) cancellation charge. Changes to a purchase order must be acknowledged in writing before IMC can proceed processing each order.

DISCONTINUED STYLES/COMPONENTS: IMC reserves the right to discontinue any item, packaging, component, or style without notification.

DROP SHIPMENTS: Orders that require shipments to more than one destination are subject to a charge of $8.00(G) per location. Drop ship address list must be submitted to IMC no later than 3 business days prior to scheduled ship date. Sales Tax will be charged on all orders drop shipped to California, New Jersey, New York or Texas.

IMPRINT INFORMATION: Laser engraving or screened set-up is $62.50(G). All screened re-orders have a repeat set-up charge of $37.50(G). Extra screen color/location or laser location is $.95(G) per unit plus an additional set-up charge. Standard imprint sizes and locations are featured in the catalog; you must specify on your Purchase Order if a differenct location or imprint size is desired. Extra charges may apply for imprints larger than those specified in the catalog – IMC will advise before proceeding.
Please note that some products do not laser engrave well enough to meet our decorating standards. Therefore, pad printing/screening is the only decorating method offered on these items. For screened imprint on stock items, standard colors are white, black, gold, silver, red (PMS 186 or 187), green (PMS 349), yellow (PMS 1235), blue (PMS 286 or 287) and reflex blue. Custom color matches are available for $56.25(G) per color. Due to wear, IMC cannot guarantee and therefore does not offer screened imprint on keyholders except Plan Ahead.

Imprint sizes given for products are approximate and can vary depending upon logos. Standard imprint sizes are based off of a 1 1/2 square inch maximum area. Where imprinting service permits, different imprint shapes can be requested/used at no additional cost as long as the total area does not exceed 1 1/2 square inches. Below are a few examples of 1 1/2 square inch area layout possibilities. Larger imprint areas are available on some items for an additional charge.
