- Why won’t my payment process at checkout?
The “Bill To” address must match the address on the credit card you are using. If the message “Incorrect Address” appears when you attempt to check out, this means that the address provided does not match the billing address of cardholder.

Please confirm that the address for the credit card you are using matches the address in the “Bill To” section of the order.

Yes! All of our products that can be personalized will have a text box appear when you are on that product page. Enter the information you would like on the product. We will call if we have any questions and will follow up with a proof for you to review and approve prior to printing.
- Can I order products customized with my clinic’s logo?
Yes! Please call us directly at 877-761-5933 and we will work with you to develop the personalization you desire and obtain a high- resolution image of your logo. Our goal is to ensure that you are completely satisfied with your artwork! See “What file format does my logo need to be in?” for more information on adding your logo!
- What file format does my logo need to be in?
Looking to add your logo or artwork to a product? Please call us at 877-761-5933 to add your logo to this product. A $30.00 minimum one-time set-up fee may apply. Additional fees will occur if low-resolution files are submitted and art must be redrawn.
The quality of the final printed product is directly dependent on the quality of the artwork provided. Unfortunately, there’s a limit to how much we can enhance these files without affecting quality. We cannot be held responsible for subpar print results due to low-resolution or poor-quality files submitted. To ensure the highest quality print results for your personalized product, we ask that all submitted artwork meets the following specifications:
- File types accepted: .AI, PDF, EPS or high-resolution JPEG/PNG. Hint: A file name ending with .AI means that it was created in Adobe Illustrator software; PDF and EPS files are universal file types, able to be opened in most design software. These files can be resized without losing the quality of the artwork. Simply put, your finished product will look the best if you provide one of these files. Contact your logo designer If you were not supplied with these file types.
- High-resolution: 300 dpi (dots per inch) minimum at actual print size. TIF, PNG, or JPG file formats may be accepted, but it is very important that these types of files are high resolution for editing purposes. When low-resolution files are submitted, the artwork may need to be re-created for additional fee, above the minimum $30 one-time setup fee. Be aware that art, such as JPG or PNG files, from websites is usually too low in resolution to use for printing. Also, a PDF created by scanning a document may not be accepted.
- Color Mode: CMYK (not RGB)
- When submitting your logo or other art, please use the original file. Files placed into a Microsoft Word or layout document cannot be used.
We’re here to assist you in getting you the perfect products personalized with your logo or artwork! Please give us a call at 1-877-761-5933 if you have additional questions.
Due to the many variations in monitors and browsers, colors may appear different on different monitors. Computer monitors are not all calibrated equally and color reproduction on the Internet is not precise. Since it is not possible to guarantee our online colors will look the same on all computers, Positive Impressions does not guarantee that what you see accurately portrays the color of the actual printed material. We do our very best to make sure our product photos are as close to the exact product as possible but cannot guarantee that what you see is an exact reproduction. If it is important that the color be exact, it is highly recommended that you order a swatch first, before placing your order. Note: Just because products have the same color name that does not mean they are the same exact color. Also don’t mistake the color name to be what you may think that color should be. Example, just because a color may have the name red, does not mean it will necessarily look like what most people would consider to be a red color.
- Will I see a proof of my personalized or custom order?

- Will I be charged custom setup on each item?
Due to the variety of printing processes used with our products, custom setup costs vary among items. Please call us at 877-761-5933 and we will be happy to assist you with your order. Your satisfaction is our goal!
- How long does it take to receive personalized or custom products?
Shipping and production times are listed in the individual product descriptions.
- Can pricing or product availability change on personalized promotional products?

- Is there a plate fee for an exact reorder?
There is no plate fee for an exact reorder if the original order was printed within the past 36 months.

- Can we use AI generated artwork for our personalized/custom project?
AI-generated artwork is not print-ready as-is. AI art is typically low resolution, raster-based (not vector) and often contains inconsistent details or distortions that don’t hold up in professional print production.
Any graphics that incorporates AI generated art may be charged an additional set-up fee to cover review and quality control of the Ai generated content to access how it can be used in your product. It will also cover time required to convert the art into production and print ready art. This charge will be added to our standard set-up fee.
