How much do I save?
We consider the average monthly orders you place to determine the wholesale discount level you qualify for. Our wholesale discounts typically range from 5% to 15%.
What happens if I fail to meet the requirements?
If you do not meet the requirements for two consecutive months, your account will be downgraded to a lower-tier discount and eventually become a standard account.
What if one month I didn't meet the requirements?
If you didn't place any orders in July but placed 8 in August, your average for the two months would be four orders. This means you would still meet the requirements.
Do you offer sample kits?
Yes, if you are approved for our broker's program, we have sample kits available for your use.
Are sample kits required?
Sample kits are optional but highly recommended, and we suggest that you obtain them.
What's in a sample kit?
A sample kit includes a paper swatch book that's printed in full color. It contains paper materials used for all of our print product categories. Each paper material is labeled, showing the paper stock and finish. It also includes a few miniature sheets of vinyl banner materials and other large formats printed in full color and labeled to show the material and quality.
What discount level/group do I get if I am approved?
Your average over the last three months will determine your wholesale group.
How do I get a higher discount?
If you are in a 2-4 orders per month discount group and have averaged 4-5 orders over the past 3 months, you will need to contact us to review your account. Your discount will be adjusted for upcoming orders once your account has been reviewed and approved.
Does being a broker mean your company employs me?
No. Being a broker does not mean employs you. It means you are placing more monthly orders than an average customer, and you meet the requirements to qualify for a wholesale discount.
How do I quit being a broker?
Just stop placing orders. After 2 months of not placing any orders, your account will automatically be converted to a standard account.
I have a sales tax ID. Do you need that?
We only require it for the state of Utah. If you have a sales tax ID and would like to order tax-free for resale, you will need to provide a copy of your tax documents. After providing and approving your documents, your account will be adjusted for future orders.
Can I pick up my order at your location?
No. We no longer offer "hold for pick-up." All orders have to be shipped. You can choose to have your order delivered to your shop, or we also offer blind drop shipping.
What is blind drop shipping?
Instead of using our company name and address as the sender, we will use your name and address as the sender on a shipment label. This option is perfect for resellers who want to ship directly to their clients without revealing their supplier.
What is the difference between Broker's Program and the Loyalty Program?
Both programs offer discounts based on factors like the number of orders, account age, order frequency, compliance with print-ready templates, prompt proof approvals, and overall transaction smoothness. The loyalty program is open to all, requires no application, but is subject to management review and approval. In contrast, the broker program provides better wholesale prices, but has stricter requirements, larger minimum order quantities, and is exclusively available to qualified graphic designers, print brokers, print shops, and freelance artists.
Existing Brokers:
I was already a broker and had just been approved for a higher discount group. Can I get a refund on the orders I placed before I was approved?
No. You can only get a discount after your account has been approved, and your discount will automatically apply to the next order you place. Orders that you already placed cannot be adjusted.
I used to get higher discounts as a broker before on my account. What happened?
You must not have placed enough orders to maintain the discount level you were at. After 2 months of not meeting our requirements, your account automatically converts to the proper discount level.
Do I pay at the time of order or after?
All orders are paid at the time of order.
