Yes, our artwork studio team will always provide you with a full on screen visual proof of your promotional products prior to your order being sent into production. The only time we wouldn't provide a visual proof is when you have placed an order for an identical repeat reorder with the same design/artwork as on your previous order.

We're based in Swaffham, Norfolk, UK. If you'd like to find out more about us, check out our about us page!

Very often in our industry you are charged for any 'overruns' +/- 10% however here at Totally Branded we don't! We charge you only for what you have ordered. In the unlikely event that we accidentally ship fewer than you ordered, you'll be charged only for what you received. And of course, if we accidentally over ship then lucky you 😉. 

You can cancel at any time prior to the order going into production. Once your visual proof has been approved your order is then sent into production. At this point we can no longer accept a cancellation or changes to your order. If you need to change your order for any reason, please contact us as soon as possible.

We have worked with a fair few charities in the past, and we're always open to working with more. We also fundraise for charities within work, by getting involved in specific event days and creating our own!

Delivery

We use DHL for all deliveries direct from our in-house facilities, but if your order is outsourced, or coming direct to you from our suppliers, then any shipping company could be used, including DPD, UPS or even Royal Mail. We have an in-house order success and customer care team that are on hand to ensure your package gets to your delivery address safely and on time, whether it comes from us or it comes elsewhere.

Of course, although it will cost a little extra for us to ship to multiple locations it is certainly possible. Simply contact our sales team who will be able to organise a multi-location delivery of your order. 

Usually this is no problem although please be sure to allow ample shipping time before your deadline as international delivery outside of the UK will require additional lead time to that stated on our website. Just contact one of our team who will be able to assist you with organising any international shipping requirements for your order.  

We can deliver anywhere, however, we offer free delivery on orders to mainland UK addresses only. So if you're outside of the UK and need delivery to you, we will need to calculate the cost of shipment and this will mean additional charges. Please feel free to contact us regarding your order or delivery requirments.

If something is wrong with your delivery upon arrival, please get in touch with us straight away as the sooner we hear about it, the quicker it will be to resolve it! If you're unhappy with your delivery date, or you need it sooner, speak to your account manager, who will be able to help get you an earlier delivery date, if they can!

Great question! We aim to get all our customers orders to them in good time, however each product will come with its own generic estimated delivery time, depending on supplier and level of products ordered. If you need branded promotional products quickly, then please check out our express range!

Printing

We can print, engrave, and embroider merchandise here in our in-house production facility, however not all of our printing processes can be used interchangeably, some merchandise can only be laser engraved, for example. This will be outlined in the product description, but our merchandise consultants can help you choose what product to choose based on the printing method you're after.

We have a range of machines at our in-house production facility, including a DTG (direct to garment) digital printer, transfer wrap printer, embroidery machines, UV digital printing, debossing and laser engraving. For more information on these branding processes, feel free to check out our helpful guide here.

If you're looking for a highly detailed print on your branded merchandise, we'd suggest a DTG print. This does however limit the type of merchandise you can have, as not everything can be printed in the DTG machine. You could also opt for a transfer print, which can be printed on other products, such as our branded mugs, mousemats and coasters.

We can laser engrave metal and wood based products, such as bottles and tumblers, coasters and bottle openers. We can also engrave glass based products like glasses and awards, as well as our ever popular stress balls. For more information on what we can engrave in house, please get in touch!

Debossing is a type of print method where the design or logo gets "stamped" into a product, and leaves an indentation of your design behind. Along with debossing, we can also foil block, so that the indent is filled with a foil colour. This would be an option to discus with your account manager.

Yes, we do have the ability to print your products in full colour - we have a digital direct to garment printer and also digital transfer capabilities, which uses transfer paper and a heat press.
