POP FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About POP
Q: How soon can I receive my custom POP displays after ordering?
A: Standard production time is 10-14 business days after final design approval. Rush services are available for an additional fee, which can reduce production time to 5-7 business days. Shipping time depends on your location and selected delivery method.
Q: What file formats do you accept for POP artwork submissions?
A: We prefer vector files in EPS or AI format with all fonts outlined. High-resolution PDFs (minimum 300 dpi at final size) are also acceptable. For photographic elements, we require TIFF or high-quality JPEG files at 300 dpi. Our design team can provide templates for specific POP display types.
Q: Can POP displays be reused for multiple promotions?
A: Many of our POP displays are designed for multiple uses. Modular systems allow for easy graphic swaps, and certain display structures can be completely refurbished with new graphics. The durable premium and custom options typically offer the best reuse potential, with some displays lasting through 5-10 graphic changes when properly maintained.
