To eliminate production and sorting issues, your logo color, size and location on garment must be kept the same for all the items in the store.

Open/Close vs. On-Demand Stores
- Open/Close: The store is opened for two weeks to receive orders. The store then closes for production which generally runs 2 weeks. Once the initial order is delivered, we can open the store for another 1-2 weeks to collect additional orders. The pricing is based on an estimate of how many pieces the store will sell. Each item has a $2.00 surcharge which covers processing and handling. We can bill Net 10 with one company check to pay for all the orders. Credit Application must be on file with us.
- On-Demand: The store is kept open year-round and you can order 1 item at a time. The items for on-demand will be limited to Port Authority product only. There is a $10.00 per piece surcharge for each item placed. Please ask your rep for details and pricing. All orders must be paid online via credit card. No net-terms.
