WHAT HAPPENS WHEN AN ORDER IS PLACED WITH EMBROIDERY & SCREEN PRINTING NETWORK:

Embroidery & Screen Printing Network has a well established process for ALL orders that are placed. This process ensures that every order is produced on/or before the date that it is required, that the designs are printed and/or embroidered to the highest of standards and that completed order matches exactly what the customer asked us to supply. The following is a brief description of the "order process".

  • Order is received in from customer and reviewed for completeness. If there are questions or the order is incomplete the customer is contacted.
  • Once all of the information required to process the order is received, the order is written up on an internal order form. This order form is our way of tracking the order at every step of the production process. The date that the order is to be complete is communicated to the customer either via e-mail, in person or the phone. This completion date will remain firm unless both the customer and Embroidery & Screen Printing Network mutually agree to change it. Examples of reasons why completion dates might change include items not being available, slow or lack of approval of artwork by customer, or requests to change when orders need to be complete. Once an order is placed and items are ordered, the order can not be cancelled without cancellation fees being accessed. Contact customer service to discuss specifics.

  • The order form is immediately entered onto our production schedule that is maintained continually in our computer program. The order is invoiced and items to be printed or embroidered are ordered from our suppliers. At this time, a copy of the invoice is sent to customer only upon request.
  • The order is then sent to the art department for processing. The orders in the artwork department are prioritized based on the date that the order needs to be completed. For orders that have not been done previously, once the artwork is finalized by our artists (even if it was supplied to us in the proper format) it will be e-mailed to customer for review and approval. See Artwork page for the specifics of how the art approval process works. On exact reorders there will be no review/approval step.
  • Orders will remain in the art department until approved by the customer. Our preferred means of approval is via e-mail, but this can also be done in person or by phone. Our expectations are that customers respond back to us promptly so that orders can be completed on time. Once an approval is received, the order then moves to the production department where it is prioritized based on the date that it is due.
  • When it is time for an order to be printed or embroidered, our production personnel carefully reviews the order form to ensure that what we print/embroider matches what the customer has ordered. Items are counted prior to and upon completion of each order to make sure that the order is accurate and complete.
  • Upon completion of orders, customers are contacted and arrangements are made for pickup or shipment. In some cases deliveries will be made. For more information on this, contact customer service.
  • Payment is made per the agreed upon method.
