COLOR MATCHING

PMS colors will change on colored mugs or if applied over another color. We will adjust as best we can. Production run may vary slightly from pre-production samples, and on repeat orders.
There will be a charge of $25.00(G) for color matching for each color not listed below on any orders of less than 576 pieces.
