Customer Service - Terms and Conditions


To make ordering smoother, we've created a detailed description of the ordering process to help you know what to expect. Take a look at these sections for a smooth order process.

1. Browse Online:

Look around the site for the items you are interested in. You can search by size ( 10' x 10'), type (Banner Stands), or function (Outdoor Displays). Then just add your items to cart. You can view these items by clicking the cart icon in the top right of the page. Decide you didn't want that banner stand? Go to your cart and click the "remove" beside the item you don't want. Can't find what you're looking for? Ask our Sales Support staff through phone, live chat, or contact us.

2. Purchase Online:

  • Fill out all of your information accurately and completely. This ensures your order is processed and shipped correctly. Please note the following:
  • We cannot ship to a PO Box; Include a suite # to shipping addresses.
  • Payment must be made in full in order to process your order for any work including proofs, design service and final production.
- Orders placed after 3:00pm CST may not be processed until the following business day.

3. Check Your Email to Ensure Your Order is Correct

You will receive a copy of your sales order once the order is placed. Contact us immediately if any changes need to be made. You will also receive an email with instructions on how to upload your artwork. If any changes need to be made such as a change of shipping address, adding products or removing products, etc. they are subject to a $35 order change admin fee. Artwork design assistance is also available if requested.

4. Formatting Your Artwork

We need the artwork in vector format (.ps or .ai) with a minimum of 100 dpi at size. Do not put a .jpg into a Vector format. This will cause excessive blurring of your image when expanding it to fit your item. If you have any issues here, contact your art director or request artwork assistance. Make sure your artwork will fit the product by using the artwork templates. The templates are found online under the Assembly and Templates tab underneath the product image. Finally, make sure your image has 100 dpi at size. That means if you are designing artwork for a 10' Waveline, you should have 100 dpi when that image is stretched to the template size, 124.5"w x 91.5"h. If you are ready to upload your art, please see your order confirmation email that contains an upload link and read the instructions for how to name your file. Our Pricing includes 2 rounds of art submissions. After that we will charge $35 art-admin fee for each additional art file submission.

5. We Send you a Proof with Possible Issues

This is where is it important to leave extra room between the production time and your due date. Occasionally mishaps and technical difficulties will occur requiring further artwork editing on your end. The proof will show you what your artwork will look like on the display. If our art department notices possible issues with your artwork we will let you know. However, we do not do copy editing. Be sure the artwork you submit is exactly what you want. The art department will only inform you on issues of color matching and possible pixelation. If proof approval is given any later than the approval deadline or if new artwork is sent the same day approval is needed, the ship date will be pushed back or a late approval fee might be incurred.

FREE PMS Pantone Color Matching:

***APG Exhibits guarantees color matching on all hard copy proofs, specified PMS Pantone colors and client supplied proofs. Orders without indication of Pantone colors, supplied hard copy proofs or requested hard copy proofs are not guaranteed for color. ***
PMS Pantone Matching is a premium service only available when PMS colors are used in the artwork. APG Exhibits provides PMS Matching at no additional charge. APG Exhibits does not accept PMS matching when only PMS color codes are provided and not actually used within the artwork. To learn how to corretly apply PMS colors in your artwork. CLICK HERE
