WHO ARE WE? Welcome. Created For You is a very well respected gift and
promotional products business. Located in the heart of the Texas Hill Country,
we do business from Horseshoe Bay, Texas.
WHAT ARE OUR GOALS? We strive to produce high quality embroidery,
sublimation, laser engraving, trophies, plaques, and custom products at fair
prices. We do our utmost to provide you with the best commercial products
available: Hanes, Blue Generation, Augusta, Mikasa, Jersee, Fruit of the Loom,
etc. We will also work on your personal items. Just provide us with what you
want embroidered or engraved. You will not receive inferior embroidery or laser
engraving from us. WE STAND BEHIND OUR WORKMANSHIP 100%.
ORDERING: All orders must be made in writing (FAX, email, hand printed,
or mailed. We cannot order materials or begin production until this requirement
has been satisfied.
Please submit your request exactly as you want it to appear on the finished
product, especially text as in names:
EXAMPLE: Bob Martin - BOB MARTIN - Bob MARTIN
REORDERING: Reorders are easy! Just FAX or email your reorder request
with the pertinent information (quantity, size(s), color(s), etc) and we'll take
it from there. Normally, there is NO SET UP FEE! Be sure to include your
telephone number, email address, or some way to contact you if we have
questions. As with your original order, all reorders must be in writing.
FONTS: If you have a specific font request, we will match it as closely
as possible in our embroidery. For engraving, sublimation, and all other
products, send us the font (Truetype/Windows compatible) on a 3.5 inch disk or
email it to us and we'll use that font if possible.
A WORD ABOUT DIGITIZING: The creation of the design for your embroidery
is called digitizing. Each stitch and section of stitches must be plotted before
it is sewn. This is a process that takes a great deal of time and occasionally
several tries to 'get it right.' The submission of items for digitizing into
embroidery is the same as submitting for all other projects, engraving,
sublimation, trophies, etc. (See ART below.)
DO I PAY FOR DIGITIZING? All embroidery businesses charge a digitizing
fee. Created For You does too. However, when you take delivery of your order,
all or part of your digitizing fee is eliminated from you invoice. This charge
is decided on a case by case basis.
EMBROIDERY SIZE: simply said, the smaller the design, the less detail
there is likely to be. Thread, unlike drawn lines has only one thickness. When
designs get very small, especially with text, minor details must be eliminated
to retain eye appeal of the design. Readable test is usually limited to about
.25 - .35 on an inch in height. Detail in other products is usually not a
problem. Read on.
ART: There is an old saying, "Garbage in…garbage out!" This also applies
to all artwork. The artwork (requested design) you submit is normally scanned at
very high resolution, up to 8 x 10 inches and processed in house. We prefer your
submitted artwork to be as close to final size as possible. Trying to make a
jacket back from a postage stamp can be a bit tricky.
DIGITAL ART IMAGES: We accept digital images at 300 dpi or greater and in
common formats such as PNG, PCX, TIF, EPS, CDR, PSD, and BMP. Accepted media is
3.5 inch floppies, CDs, ZIP disks, email attachments, or Flash drives. All
original artwork is returned to you. We cannot guarantee good results on artwork
submitted on cloth (such as T-shirts, patches, etc), photocopies, or
commercially printed materials such as magazines or brochures. We will not
accept artwork from newspapers or FAXes. We reserve the right to refuse any
artwork medium.
TRADEMARKS & COPYRIGHTS: It is assumed that submitted artwork is being
used in full compliance withal applicable laws regarding its usage. Customer
agrees to assume any liability resulting from claims against Created For You,
its owners and any/all employees for service marks, infringements of trademarks,
copyright patents and personal rights. Questionable artwork may require a
written release.
PRODUCT DISCLAIMER: Due to manufacturing processes, Created For You
assumes no responsibility for defective manufactured goods that have been
embroidered, engraved, or otherwise altered. Created For You is responsible only
for the workmanship of said products.
SUBLIMATION: What is sublimation? You know the coffee mug that has "#1
GRANDPA" printed on it? Chances are that the mug has been sublimated.
- How it works: We create your design (logo, design, photo) on the computer and
print it on special paper with special ink. Then the print is adhered to a
product called a substrate (the coffee mug, cup, keychain fob, bag tag, a
sublimatible T-shirt, plastic, or metal) and heated. The ink, which is now a
solid on the paper, is transformed into a gas by the heat and pressure. The
color image is permanently absorbed by the substrate.
- You get the advantage of full color on your product. And it won't chip or wear
off!
LEAD TIMES: We all get busy and often forget to order that "special" gift
or award. We understand. However, producing a high quality product sometimes
takes a bit of time, especially matching colors with sublimation products. We
request seven (7) to ten (10) business days to work on your products.
PRODUCTION TIME: Normal production time is primarily based on the
availability of the product you want. Supplier availability and location
directly affects our turn around time. Rush service is available. Contact for
availability and additional costs.
OOPS! In the unlikely event that we make an error with your order (it is
not like the order you submitted in writing…
Typo, size, color, etc.) let us know within seven (7) days of receipt. Return
the mistake and we will correct the error or replace the product at no
additional cost.
