Frequently Asked Questions: Custom Products for Greenville SC
How quickly can I get name badges for my Greenville business?
Standard production is 3-5 business days, with 2-3 day shipping to all Upstate SC locations. Rush production (24-hour and 2-3 day) is available for urgent orders. Most Greenville businesses receive orders within one week of placing them.
Do you offer bulk discounts for large Greenville area orders?
Yes! We offer volume pricing starting at 25+ badges. The more you order, the lower the per-unit price. Many Upstate manufacturers and healthcare systems order 100+ badges at significant savings. Request a custom quote for your specific quantity.
What's the best badge fastener for medical professionals?
We recommend magnetic fasteners for healthcare workers. They protect scrubs and uniforms from pin damage while providing secure attachment. Strong rare-earth magnets hold through multiple fabric layers.
How long will an outdoor banner last in South Carolina's climate?
Standard 13oz vinyl banners last 1-2 years in SC's humid subtropical climate. For longer life, choose 18oz blockout vinyl (2-3 years) or add UV lamination (3-5 years). Mesh banners work best in windy locations. Store banners rolled (not folded) when not in use.
Are retractable banner stands worth the investment?
Absolutely. At $150-200, a quality retractable banner stand pays for itself after just a few uses. The graphics are replaceable, so you can update messaging without buying a new stand. Most Greenville businesses use theirs for years across dozens of events.
Do you make ADA-compliant signs for South Carolina businesses?
Yes, all our ADA signs meet federal accessibility requirements including Grade 2 Braille, tactile characters, non-glare finish, and proper contrast ratios. We offer restroom signs, room identification, and custom ADA signage.
Can you match my company's brand colors?
Yes! We offer Pantone color matching for precise brand consistency. Provide your Pantone numbers or send a sample, and we'll match your exact colors across badges, signs, banners, and awards.
What's the minimum order for Greenville area businesses?
There's no minimum order required. Order one badge or one thousand—we accommodate businesses of all sizes throughout Upstate South Carolina. Free shipping on orders over $200.
