How To Order
Samples – RANDOM
Sample for most styles will be free of charge if value is below $10.00. All sample orders over $10.00 will require a valid credit card to process. It is your responsibility to cover freight charges for all samples.
We will be sending out random samples that might be imprinted unless specified differently by you.
You can e-mail your sample request to info@conventiontotes.com or call us 866.638.1161
Imprinted Spec Samples
Samples that are to be imprinted with your logo will be charged at standard rate and incur a Setup fee. Imprinted spec samples are not returnable. Shipping charges are applicable. Spec sample orders will be processed just like any standard order and incur a production time of 7-14 days plus shipping. See our guidelines, on what is needed to start an order.
The minimum amount to place an order for most items is 50 pcs. Orders below minimum will be FINAL SALE.
In most cases your order will ship within 48-72 hours, given that inventory is on hand.
Once you have decided on the style that you ‘d like to move forward with, please e-mail or phone us with your order 818-455-0548. Have the following information available to us:

We will issue an order acknowledgement with all order details that needs to be signed by you and returned back to us, verifying that all information is correct. Your order will only be started after receipt of signed sales confirmation and payment authorization. Blank orders do not require approval of acknowledgment.
Imprinted orders will now be processed and an “ART APPROVAL FORM” will be created and submitted for approval to you, before we start with imprint production. This is done to assure that we received correct artwork and read your instructions correctly. Another safety measure to assure that your job is delivered right on.
Unfortunately not as easy to change an order if artwork has already been approved and order has been submitted for production.
But if there is a last-minute change that comes up – notify your sales representative right away and discuss your options first- followed by a written request.
Any changes made to an order may affect your ship date and must be approved by the us and confirmed in writing. Additional charges may apply. Increases in quantity will be treated as a separate order unless the increase is placed prior to the start of production.
Again, changes must be requested in writing and authorized by us – otherwise no guarantee can be given!
Changes in shipping locations must be made in writing and approved by us in writing, otherwise no guarantee can be given.
Orders cannot be cancelled without prior authorization. Customers are liable for any charges incurred prior to cancellation. Charges will be assessed by us.
Cancellations must be made in writing and must be confirmed as received by us. Phone cancellations will not be accepted.
We will issue an artwork approval proof within 5 days of receiving a signed order and correct camera-ready artwork. This proof will be sent to you for approval to assure that all parts of the art are displayed correctly.
Please check carefully to assure:
– all parts of the artwork are correctly displayed.
– Colors are called out correctly
– Location of imprint is correct
Please contact us with your approval to proceed or changes as quickly as possible, so that no time is lost in processing your order. Unless we receive your ok to proceed – your order will be put on hold
Sometimes there are limitations on how art can be printed and displayed on a certain product. We will correct your art on how we feel it will display best and show you those adjustments in the art approval form as well.
Yes, we provide the form for ALL orders prior to proceeding with your order. For embroidered orders we strongly recommend to get an actual embroidery swatch made prior to proceeding with an order as well. We reserve the right to make this option a mandatory requirement for larger orders. The embroidery process does not allow for exact replication of a print art and has its limitations, which we ‘d like to bring to your attention early on.
Please send all artwork to info@conventiontotes.com. In the subject line of that e-mail, please put the reference number of your order. All submitted artwork must be in Vector format (.ai or .eps) with outlined fonts. For one color imprints 300 dpi raster art (.psd or .jpg) to desired imprint size is acceptable as well. For multi-colored, screen printed art, bitmapped files this option is not available.
We suggest to not use gradient for imprint on canvas totes as the printing results are sometimes not satisfying. Instead try using a lighter shade color. Our graphics team will be happy to aid you to achieve best imprint results, please check with us any time.
Sometimes artwork requires touch-ups or recreation in order to print. For example, if you are printing a two color logo but don’t have a Vector format image; then each color of the logo will have to be redrawn and separated manually to print it correctly.
Sometimes you don’t have a graphic artist on hand that can create your artwork and you want more than just a line of text.
We are happy to give you full access to our in-house graphics team. Most art can be altered and changed at a fee of $45. More intricate jobs require more time and special rates apply. Speak with your Sales representative first to get a special quote or to discuss your artwork needs.
Simple text line art can be laid out for you free of charge. We do reserve the right to charge for alterations but will ask your approval before we proceed.
