Great question! You can find out more about promotional merchandise in our helpful guide, or if you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to us via web chat, email or telephone.

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.

Regretfully as our customised items are bespoke we cannot accept the return of customised items. If your item is faulty please notify us within 48 hours of receipt of your goods. Our Customer Support Team may require supporting images for faulty items, please include these in your initial email so we are able to come to a resolution swiftly and solve the problem for you. 

Yes, we do! Our production facility is located in the same area as our offices, in Swaffham, Norfolk.

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!

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.
