We can create a customised design for you, which can be added to most of our product range either by screenprinting or embroidery or both. You can of course have a mix of printed and embroidery logos on the same item and in different locations.

If you have an existing design or just an idea in mind, we can work with you to develop or enhance this. We can start with a rough sketch or take a completed design that you may already have.

For existing artwork, simply fax or e-mail your designs to us. Design formats that we can accept include WORD, PDF, GIF, BMP and JPEG images. You may wish to compress large image files before sending. See some example of our artwork and embroidery work.

CHANGE OF MIND

 
 

Under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, a customer may cancel an order up to 7 days after receiving the Goods, provided that the company has not personalised the Goods in any way to the Customer’s specification. Personalised means the screen printing, embroidery or heat pressing of logos/text onto the goods.  

Where the customer cancels the order, the goods must be returned to Zappak UK at the customer's expense and the goods must be received back in a condition suitable for their re-sale. Where this is not the case, the company will charge the customer for the full cost of the goods plus the original carriage out costs.

Where an order is made up of both personalised and unpersonalised items, only the latter goods can be cancelled and returned to the Company under the Distance Selling Regulations. Your statutory rights are not affected.
