Design Policy
Great design takes experience and an eye for it.  We have both.

Design Process & Artwork Policy

 

Welcome to Zingler Sign & Design and The Shirt Shop]! We’re dedicated to providing high-quality custom design services for all your sign-making and screen printing needs. To ensure a smooth process, please review our design policy below:

 

1. Customer-Provided Artwork Requirements

 

            •           All artwork provided by customers must be in a high-resolution vector format (such as .ai, .eps, or .pdf). For raster files (e.g., .jpeg, .png), a resolution of at least 300 DPI is required.

            •           Note: Low-resolution or pixelated images may require additional design work to meet our production standards. Design time for adjusting or recreating artwork will incur additional charges.

 

2. Design Fees

 

            •           Our design services are billed at a rate of $95 per hour. This rate covers design adjustments, custom illustrations, or recreations of existing artwork as needed to meet production standards.

            •           A time estimate for design work will be provided before work begins. Additional hours required beyond the estimate will be discussed with the customer before proceeding.

 

3. Ownership of Artwork Created by Our Team

 

            •           All artwork, designs, and concepts created by our design team remain the exclusive property of Zingler Marketing LLC.

            •           The customer is granted limited rights to use the design strictly for the purpose it was created (such as on custom apparel, signage, etc.). Unauthorized reproduction or modification of the design without written consent is prohibited.

 

4. Artwork Ownership Package

 

            •           We offer a $395 Artwork Ownership Package for customers who wish to own 100% of the artwork created by our team.

            •           This package includes:

            •           Transfer of ownership rights to the customer.

            •           Delivery of all appropriate file formats, including vector and high-resolution files suitable for future reproduction.

            •           Once ownership is transferred, the customer may use the artwork without limitations and modify it as they see fit.

 

 

5. Approval Process and Revisions

 

            •           Design proofs will be sent to the customer for approval before production begins.

            •           Minor revisions are included in the initial design fee. Significant changes or additional revisions beyond the initial scope may result in additional charges at our standard hourly rate.

 

6. Turnaround Time for Design Work

 

            •           Standard turnaround time for initial design proofs is 3-5 business days from the time all project details are confirmed and any necessary artwork is received.

            •           Rush services may be available upon request, subject to additional fees and availability. Rush fees will be quoted based on the complexity and urgency of the project.

 

7. Design Alterations After Approval

 

            •           Once a design is approved and production has started, further changes cannot be made without incurring additional charges.

            •           In cases where production must be paused to accommodate changes, any associated fees or delays will be the customer’s responsibility.

 

8. File Storage and Archiving

 

            •           We archive project files for a period of one year from the completion date. Reorders or requests for archived files after this period may require a new design fee.

            •           Customers purchasing the Artwork Ownership Package are encouraged to retain their digital files for future use.

 

9. Payment Terms for Design Services

 

            •           A 50% deposit on estimated design fees is required before beginning design work. The remaining balance will be due upon final approval, before production or file delivery.

            •           Payments can be made by a variety of payment methods, e.g., credit card, bank transfer, etc.]. Late payments may be subject to additional fees.

 

10. No Guarantee of Exact Color Matching

 

            •           Due to variations in screen displays, print processes, and material types, exact color matching cannot be guaranteed. We will make every effort to match colors as closely as possible based on the information provided.

            •           For critical color matches, we recommend customers provide Pantone colors or samples as a reference.
