Minimum Order Quantity & Copy Area

J1200 Maxx & J1300 Satin Chrome Jazz  There is a minimum order quantity of 100 pens per imprint ink color for the J1200 Series Maxx pens. Multiple grip colors may be ordered with a minimum of 50 pieces per grip color, provided that all 100 units have the same imprint color and copy.
The J1300 Series Jazz pen in Satin Chrome has a minimum run of 50 pens per imprint ink color. Imprint is not available on the other colors in our Jazz Series.
Imprint copy will be centered on the caps of these pens, beneath the pen clip. Please remember that the copy area on the cap of the Maxx or Satin Chrome Jazz Series is limited to height of 3/8” (9.52mm) with a length of 2” (50.8mm). Should you require a larger imprint area with more lines of copy, we suggest our Founder’s Collection which provides a copy height of 1” (25.4mm) that can wrap around the circumference of the barrel.

J550 Multifunction Calculator  The Multifunction Calculator has a minimum run of 24 units per imprint ink color. Imprint will be positioned on the sliding front cover with a maximum copy area 1 1/4” (31.75mm) wide x 2” (50.8mm) high. This imprint area provides ample space for a logo and additional lines of copy if required. Select top, center, or bottom of imprint area for centering copy. If centering location is not provided, we will select the position that we feel provides for best appearance.

J600 Stainless Steel Key Chain/Tool  The minimum order quantity for the Stainless Key Chain/Tool is 100 units per imprint ink color. Imprint copy on the Key Chain/Tool will be positioned within the 1” (25.4mm) triangle based on the configuration of the copy or artwork provided. The actual length and height that can be imprinted will be determined by the artwork and may have to be reduced or repositioned to fit all copy within the triangular shape. Be careful to consider the triangular configuration of the copy area when selecting your text, logo, or artwork.
The Stainless Steel Key Chain/Tool can also be imprinted on the second side. Add a second $25.00 (G) set-up charge, and a $1.50 (G) per-piece running charge for the second location imprint copy.

One-Color Imprint on Maxx, Satin Chrome Jazz, or Gallery Items

You have two options for a one-color imprint on the selected item. Either send us high contrast camera-ready black and white artwork or have Garland typeset your message. A set-up charge of $25.00 (G) will be billed for new and repeat orders. There are no per piece running charges for a one-color, one location imprint in one of our 12 standard ink colors. The minimum quantity run varies from item to item as detailed under Minimum Order Quantity. Any change of copy must be submitted and priced as a separate order.

Change of Imprint Ink Color

Imprint ink color can be changed for $20.00 (G), provided that the stated catalog minimums are met per ink color. Please refer to the individual items for product minimums. Any change of copy must be submitted and priced as a separate order.
For example, the Maxx Series has a catalog minimum of 100 units. Therefore, if you would like to have 100 of the Maxx in Bright Blue imprinted in bright blue, and 100 Berry Red imprinted with the same copy or text in red, one additional charge of $20.00 (x) will be incurred. Or, if you are ordering our Multifunction Calculator and would like to have 50 units imprinted in navy blue, and 50 imprinted with the same copy or text in wine, one additional charge of $20.00 (x) will be incurred. Any change of copy would need to be submitted and priced as a separate order.

Two-Color Imprint on Maxx, Satin Chrome Jazz, & Gift Gallery Items

A minimum of 100 pieces per item and per color, and imprint grip color, imprint copy and imprint color is required for ordering a two-color imprint copy on any items. At least 100 identical units must be ordered, even if the stated catalog minimum for the product is less than 100 units. Color-separated black and white artwork must be provided for a two-color imprint with custom logos, images or non-standard typestyles. An additional set-up charge of $35.00 (G) will be billed each time an order is run using that two-color imprint copy. The running charge for a two-color imprint copy is $.10 (G) per piece.
Change of copy or ink color change is not available for two-color imprint orders. Any change of copy or ink color would need to be submitted and priced as a separate order.

Color Match for Imprinted Inks on Maxx, Satin Chrome Jazz and Gallery Items

The first time formulation of a custom colored ink requires a minimum order run of 250 units. Please provide PMS colors and we will match as close as possible. The minimum quantity for repeat orders using the same formulation is the stated catalog minimum for each item. A mixing charge of $30.00 (G) is billed for both new and repeat orders. Samples are required the first time that a new custom color is run. The color match charge will be billed on your sample and waived for your order, provided that the sample for approval is approved within 60 days from date of shipment.

Imprint Set-Up and Color Selection

There are several tips we'd like to share with you for imprint set-up.
Your choice of ink color on any product will affect the appearance of your message. Choose your imprint color carefully so there is adequate contrast with the surface to be printed and a pleasing color combination. The darker standard ink colors will stand out distinctly on the Maxx, Satin Chrome Jazz and other imprintable Gift Gallery items. White, yellow and the other very light imprint inks will not provide as much contrast to the surface areas, especially if the logo or text for the copy is very detailed and will therefore be small. Much of the success of the customization process has to do with the size and style of a font, logo or typestyle, the detail and quality of the artwork submitted, the color combinations and contrast, and most importantly—personal preference.
So, how to proceed? Random samples can provide a starting point to check out standard ink colors. If your artwork, copy or your color combinations are not workable, our product specialists will contact you with suggestions. Custom samples are always very much recommended when you are not sure exactly what you want or how your artwork and copy will reproduce. Samples resolve issues before they become problems and permit the buyer to evaluate exactly what they will be receiving.

Imprint Size and Typestyles

If camera-ready black and white artwork is not available, Garland can typeset your message at no additional charge. It is important that you provide your desired message in typewritten form to avoid spelling and spacing errors. For the most pleasing imprint copy, we recommend combining no more than three typestyles. You can choose from the list of standard imprint typestyles, indicating point size for each line. Unless specifically requested, all lines of copy will be centered. Please keep in mind that the maximum imprint area varies significantly from item to item. Please refer to the Copy Area section for specific details on the maximum imprint area and configuration for each different item.
