Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are your artwork requirements for custom graduation stoles and embroidered patches?

A: To ensure absolute embroidery precision and crisp print fidelity, we prefer vector files in AI, EPS, or PDF format with all fonts converted to outlines. If you are providing raster images (JPG, PNG), please ensure a minimum resolution of 300 DPI at the final dimensions. We understand the critical importance of institutional branding; please provide your Pantone (PMS) color codes with your artwork, and our factory will accurately match your university's official colors across satin fabrics, velvet trims, and embroidery threads.

Q: Are your academic gowns compliant with official university and American Council on Education (ACE) standards?

A: Yes, absolutely. Our Academic Regalia & Gowns Collection is engineered strictly according to official North American (ACE Guidelines), UK, and Commonwealth collegiate standards. From the exact 4-inch velvet facing panels and triple sleeve chevrons on doctoral robes to the authentic oblong extended sleeves on master’s gowns, we guarantee precise cuts, proper shoulder fluting, and accurate discipline velvet color matching for all degree levels.

Q: Can I order sample kits before placing a seasonal bulk wholesale order?

A: Yes! We highly encourage university distributors, bookstore managers, and e-commerce partners to evaluate our quality firsthand. We provide Physical Fabric Sample Swatches (featuring our heavy-duty matte polyester, plush velvet, and 170g satin) as well as Finished Product Samples (such as sample stoles or bachelor’s gown sets). Contact our sales director, Lydia, via WhatsApp or email to request a sample pack or receive a Free 3D Digital Proof of your custom design.

Q: Can I order replacement graphics or covers if I already have the display frame hardware?

A: Yes. In addition to complete display sets, we offer flexible purchasing options for our Event & Display Textiles. You can order "Graphic Fabric Only" (perfect for updating seasonal university enrollment graphics, step-and-repeat media backdrops, or podium covers), "Hardware Only", or a "Full Package". All our stretch table covers and fabric backdrops are made from fire-retardant (NFPA 701 certified), wrinkle-resistant spandex and polyester.

Q: How do you handle international shipping, customs clearance, and import duties?

A: We specialize in hassle-free global B2B logistics, regularly delivering seasonal regalia orders to clients across North America, Europe, South America, Africa, and Australasia. For key international destinations, we provide comprehensive DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) door-to-door shipping solutions via air or sea. This means our factory handles 100% of international freight forwarding, export clearance, import customs, and prepaid taxes/duties, delivering directly to your campus bookstore, warehouse, or storage facility without hidden fees.

Q: What are your standard lead times, and do you handle rush orders for upcoming commencement deadlines?

A: Our standard production lead time is typically 2 to 3 weeks depending on order volume and customization complexity (such as intricate metallic embroidery). However, we fully recognize that commencement dates are fixed and unmovable. For time-sensitive orders, we offer an Expedited Rush Production & Air Freight option. Please notify our trade team immediately with your fixed event deadline so we can prioritize your order on our production line!
