Production/Turnaround Timing
|
Online Orders
- Online orders customized and submitted via the AAID ordering website OR quick order web form between the hours of 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM CST, Monday – Friday, will likely be shipped NEXT BUSINESS DAY.
- Any orders with large quantities or those requiring a proof, reworking of art, or changes of any kind, will incur additional production time.
Offline Orders
“RUSH” Orders
- Offline orders submitted via email or fax between the hours of 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM EST, Monday – Friday, will likely be shipped in TWO - THREE BUSINESS DAYS from the date we acknowledge order receipt.
- Any orders with large quantities or those requiring a proof, reworking of art, or changes of any kind, will incur additional production time.
“RUSH” Orders
- Rush shipments are available on most orders and will decrease the production time by ONE (1) BUSINESS DAY. For example, a print ready online order is scheduled to ship next business day. Moving that order to “rush” status will allow it to ship SAME DAY.
- 10AM CST is the cutoff to move an order to “RUSH” status
- Rush will incur an additional charge of 50% of the original invoice price of a product. For example, if a Trodat self-inking stamp invoices for $13.48, the “rush” fee would be $6.74 (50% of $13.48.)

Art Requirements & Charges
|
All American ID works with Vector Art to create the best quality products possible. If providing "Production/Camera Ready" art please have all elements be vector and convert all fonts to outlines/curves.
RECOMMENDED FILE FORMATS: *.ai (Adobe Illustrator), *.eps (Adobe), *.cdr (CorelDRAW) or their *.pdf (Adobe) saved versions are desired. We also accept raster artwork (*.jpg, *.gif, *.bmp, *.png, *.tif) as long as images are at 300 DPI and above. Please note - website images are 72dpi. This will not reproduce clearly.
Please do not pull images from websites. Any design work done by us to make artwork production ready may involve a setup or graphics fee. If unsure whether your art is Vector or Raster (Bitmap) please see our "Know Your Image" pdf which explains the differences.
If unsure whether or not your artwork will work for a particular order, please feel free to email the artwork to [email protected]. For text lists, (ie. Names) we prefer Microsoft Excel, but will also accept *.txt, Microsoft Word & *.csv documents as well as typed out lists in email. We are unable to accept lists by phone.
SIGNATURES FOR STAMPS will work best if white paper is signed with black pen (Felt tip pens work best) with the intended size of the final product. Signature must be received electronically (emailed or faxed).
PROOFING INFORMATION: Proofs are only created at your specific request. We do not charge for the first proof and two revisions. Further revisions will incur a $25 proofing charge. If sending a typed list for personalization on an order, our system will copy/paste that list reducing the chance for errors. We encourage reliance on this process to keep production times at a minimum.
