TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR ALL ORDERS

POUCH ME QUALITY GUARANTEE

We stand behind the quality of the products and services included in the Site.

Everyone at Pouch Me is committed to the service and satisfaction of its clients. As a business who has been in the print branding and packaging industry for nearly two decades, we make sure that each custom print order delivered is of the greatest value.

We ensure best color reproduction, prime custom pouch materials, proper cutting and finishing techniques, and top-of-the line quality custom packaging made especially for you.

ARTWORK GUIDELINES FOR FILE CREATION AND UPLOAD

Please ensure that you review or preview the designs that you created or uploaded to our system. Make sure you are done correcting the issues before completing the order. Here are simple guidelines you can follow for creating or uploading files to our system:

ARTWORK FILE RESPONSIBILITY

As stated on the Site, Pouch Me is fully-equipped with a Prepress Department with print designers who check your files manually and using preflight software. Pouch Me's Prepress team only checks for any issues that may arise on the press—you are held fully responsible for the accuracy of your artwork files.

We strongly recommend you to proofread all print-ready files thoroughly before you send them to us. We provide free file presentation guidelines and templates to help you create and submit print-ready artwork files. Furthermore, we also offer free file preparation support services to make sure we can eradicate any foreseeable print errors.

We strictly follow mailing restrictions and regulations; this means you are also responsible in ensuring that your custom order complies with the present restriction. If you are not sure about the local restrictions, please check with your local post office.

All the staff at Pouch Me take every precaution to ensure the safety of the materials you send us. We are not responsible, however, for any loss or damage of files, images or artwork, especially when using third-party service providers for file hosting and storage.

PROHIBITED FILES

Following these Terms and Conditions, you or your business agrees that you will not upload any file or artwork that consists of material such as:

- Any material that can give rise to criminal or civil responsibility;

- Any material that infringe the rights of privacy or publicity;

- Copyrighted material and other material with intellectual property rights without getting the permission of the owner of these rights, as well as, the persons shown in any material (if applicable).

REQUIREMENTS FOR ART RESOLUTION/SHARPNESS

Pouch Me requires a minimum of 350 dpi, high-resolution images for digital printing. We will not be held responsible for any printing with bitmap results if you or your business or graphic designer chooses to submit low-resolution images and pushes through with production.

SAFE ZONE AND BLEED MARGIN REQUIREMENTS

Pouch Me requires that you or your business or graphic designer submit a symmetrical bleed for designs that include content that extend to the trim line. You can request for dedicated templates that you can follow for specific bleed guidelines. Please be reminded to exclude content from the Safe Zone. The Safe Zone is a 1/16 inch buffer area from the Trim Line. Adherence to Bleed and Safe Zone margins are essential in achieving the correct design fidelity.

COLOR SPACE CONVERSION

As printers, our color language is has been and always will be CMYK. We will not be held responsible for any color changes or color shifts that occur on image conversions (such as from RGB-to-CMYK color modes). To ensure that your label artwork or file gets the best color space, make sure to create CMYK files for your print artwork.

REQUIREMENTS FOR BLACKS/RICH BLACK

Full-color jobs that contain large solid portions of black ink should be saved with the black set up as CMYK Black (C30, M30, Y30, and K100). Pouch Me is not responsible for printing problems with Rich Black and Black artwork if the specifications are not met. Furthermore, Rich Black should never be used for text. Text should always be set to C0 M0 Y0 K100 (100% Black ink).

DIGITAL PRINTING USING CMYK

Pouch Me processes digital printing on all custom label printing services. Consistency of all your custom label prints is determined by color values that you had set beforehand. We use Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black inks to produce your printed colors based on your own set values, but keep in mind that there will be color variance based on the type of label stock that you use (material, opacity), as well as any laminate or coating (gloss or matte), and this is inherent in any type of printing process.

Please make sure that this is in line with your own packaging standards. We encourage you to review the PDF soft proof, as well as order a hard proof, to check for color accuracy. We also encourage you to speak with your dedicated service associate to learn all the details of your order, including the type of printing process and what this means when it comes to quality and limitations.

If you or your business needs files that require critical color requirements, please inform us beforehand by contacting us through customer service email.

Sales are final unless specified otherwise. No refunds will be given once we start working on your files or orders. This means that once we have received all your materials (complete digital files, and upon receipt of payment), we will have started working on the files. A partial or full refund may be issued by Pouch Me to the customer within 30 days if no work has been started on the print files. Please be aware that the refund may be reduced to cover fees like charge of proofs, processing, or any other services associated with the custom print order.

To ensure that all custom print orders are met within the promised turnaround time, we keep an active ledger of all materials, inventory, and staff schedules on all orders placed. Custom print orders that are not sent to press on time by the customer (5 days) will have fees applied for incurring additional labor, equipment, and inventory costs. Moreover, jobs that are not sent to press within 90 days of being placed will be not be refunded. It will also incur a 12.5% charge of the original job, which accounts for each 30-day period thereafter until 100% of the original job total has been accrued in fees.
