Turnaround

The turnaround time on your order with KNC Marketing, Inc starts when you’ve paid a 50% deposit (or 100% if ordering online) and we have all information required to complete your order (all artwork, fonts, shipping info, sizes, garment style etc.). Delay in receipt of *any* of this info could result in production delays. Our current turnaround time is 2 weeks + shipping. Complex orders or extras may increase turnaround. Delay in approval of mock ups could also result in production delays. The most up-to-date turnaround time will be listed on your quote.

If you have a deadline for your order, it is very important that you let us know when placing your order and a rush fee may apply if there is not enough time to complete your order under normal circumstances. If you do not advise us about a due date until after your order has been paid for and pushed through our system, we may not be able to accommodate your request. Any circumstances out of KNC Marketing, Inc's control (ie: weather delays, shipping errors by the supplier, supply chain issues, etc.) may also require more time and are not factored into the initial turnaround time estimate.

Minimums

Screen printed items: 18 pieces (of the same design) If you have to do Less then Minimum there is a $75.00 LTM charge in addition to the print & apparel per piece price. 

Artwork

All files must be 300 DPI or vector format. The design should be sized to the size you would like it to print. Text must be converted to outlines. Printing can only be as good as the artwork. KNC Marketing, Inc will not be responsible for poor quality printing due to poor artwork. KNC Marketing, Inc is not responsible for any misspellings, errors, or issues in your art file. We do our best to catch these errors and point them out to you, but we may not catch them all. If it is in your art file and on your approval, that is how we will print it.  You will get an art proof before we go to print.

Art Approval | Order Proofing

All artwork is to be approved via a digital mock-up through email. Artwork must be checked for spelling, color, sizes ordered, placement of the art and accuracy of artwork by the customer. It is very important to look over every detail of the mockup, as this is how your garments will print. Any modifications requested after customer approval will result in production delays and could require additional expenses. Any delays in the approval process longer than 24 hours after receipt of the mockup could result in production delays.

Out of Stock Items

KNC Marketing, Inc is not responsible for items that are out of stock. While we check items we know to have potential stock issues, all garments are ordered after your order is placed, and we cannot guarantee their availability. If items are out of stock, we will provide you with a list of possible replacements and get it approved by you before using your chosen item.

Specific Measurements on Location Printing

There is no way to effectively and efficiently measure a distance from the collar on each shirt as each garment is loaded onto the press by hand. If you request a print that is 2” down from the collar, we will use that as a guide and do our best to make sure that all shirts hit that target, but not all shirts will hit exactly at 2”, they may be off by as much as an inch in either direction. This will not be considered a misprint and KNC Marketing, Inc will not reprint or refund these shirts.

Payment

50% deposit of your order total must be paid before the order begins (unless otherwise approved by KNC Marketing, Inc).

The remaining 50% is due when your order is picked up. Unpaid orders will not be released.

 

Changes to Your Order After Payment

Any change made to your order that is not due to a stock issue will be subject to a change fee of $50.00 in addition to the additional costs (restocking or shipping fees) to make the changes. Any changes to your order after it has been placed will delay your order, even if you have paid a rush fee and/or have given us a required date. It is very important that you do not place your order until you are certain that’s what you want. Once the process begins, everyone in our shop starts to work on different aspects of the job, changes become costly and time consuming.

Cancellations & Restocking Fees

Cancellations made after order has been placed will be subject to a 20% restocking fee plus any additional fees required to cover services already rendered. No cancellations will be accepted once production or any manipulation of the garments ( printing, etc.) has begun on the order.

Must-Have Dates

KNC Marketing, Inc will do everything we can to meet any must-have date, but we cannot guarantee it. Rush fees may apply. Customer may be responsible for any expedited shipping charges associated with the order.

Shipping

KNC Marketing, Inc cannot be responsible for any shipping delays caused by the shipping company.

Under-Runs & Spoilage

Due to the nature of this business, KNC Marketing, Inc will not be responsible for under-runs or spoilage up to 5 % per design (spoilage must be more than 10 shirts per design for a reprint). Please keep this in mind when ordering (it is never a bad idea to order extras). We always do our best to get you what you ordered. We will refund you the cost of any items shorted from your order but will not process a reprint for less than 5 % of your order (or 10 shirts minimum).

KNC Marketing, Inc will not, at any time, be responsible for any lost profits on items shorted from your order. (IE: If you paid $7.50 per shirt to get the shirt printed, but you sell them for $25.00, KNC Marketing, Inc is only responsible for the $7.50 you would have paid us for the shirt).

Garment Disclaimer

KNC Marketing, Inc  is not responsible for manufacturer defects such as color inconsistencies, stitching errors, mislabeled garments, loose/inconsistent stitching, and/or garment defects (holes in garments, ripped seams, etc.). We try our hardest to inspect the garments as we print them, but we cannot guarantee each garment. We are not the manufacturers of these garments, so we cannot ensure their construction. We highly recommend ordering 5% extra of each size if an exact count is important.

Satisfaction Clause

KNC Marketing, Inc will not be responsible for your satisfaction with the garments printed on or the printed artwork. We are always available to counsel any customer to ensure you pick a garment that matches your needs but we also need you to do your due diligence on the garment choice. If you are unsure of what garment to select, we can gladly order a number of blank samples for you to choose from. The samples will be billed at a per piece rate and shipped without printing. Blank samples will not credit to the cost of your order.

Quality Assurance

We try to check every garment as it comes off of the press, but there are times where some mistakes will make it out the door. It is your responsibility as the customer to check over garments as you receive them. We allow an industry standard 72 hour window from the time you receive the goods to notify us of any issues with the order.KNC Marketing, Inc will not be responsible for errors with your order if notified after 72 hours of receiving the goods.

Claims & Reprints

We go to great lengths to try to ensure that every order that leaves our facility is correct. All of our customers are valued customers, regardless of size of order.. Any order printed differently than the mock-up approved will be granted a reprint of the defective product. All claims must be submitted within 72 hours of date of delivery.

If KNC Marketing, Inc is responsible for any errors in your order, we will gladly accept responsibility for the issues and will reprint the shirts printed in error.
