Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical lead time for Custom Placemats and Trayliners?
Standard production runs for Placemats and Trayliners ship within two weeks of artwork approval. Press-ready proofs are returned within one business day of artwork submission, so you can plan campaign timing around confirmed dates rather than estimates.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
Yes. Placemats and Trayliners start at 10,000 pieces (10 cases). There is no maximum, and pricing scales transparently with quantity, from a single restaurant's reorder to a national chain's multi-million-unit campaign.
Is shipping included in the price?
Yes. Shipping anywhere in the United States and Canada is built into every quote. The price quoted is the price invoiced — no separate freight line, no surcharges, no surprise charges at PO time.
Can you handle multi-location chain rollouts?
Yes. Multi-location fulfillment is one of our core capabilities. We coordinate split-ship schedules across multiple distribution centers, hold finished inventory at our facility between drops, and ship direct to individual restaurant locations as required.
Do you provide design support if we don't have print-ready artwork?
Yes. Layout, brand-color matching, and revisions are included in every quote. Submit your logo and brand guidelines, or any rough direction on layout and messaging, and our in-house design team will build press-ready artwork. You'll receive a digital proof for review before anything goes to press.
What printing specifications are available for Placemats and Trayliners?
We print in 1–4 color spot and work from your existing brand guidelines to match colors accurately. Standard sizes and custom die-cuts are available. Mention your application in your quote request and we'll confirm the right specifications.
