From initial artwork to final delivery, our FAQ section helps you to be "in the know". Of course, we'd love to answer your questions personally, so give us a call at 718-798-5000 today, and let one of our experienced sales associates guide you through the ordering process.

Can I order products now from your website?


At present time, this feature is unavailable, however, we may add it in the future, depending on response. Although, we will accept orders by fax, phone or in person. If you are to order by fax or phone, you will need to tell us the exact item that you want, and provide us with some additional information. Typically, you should set aside approximately five minutes for the initial call and a few minutes for a follow up if necessary.

What information should I provide if I fax in an order?

First, you'll need to make sure that you include a day time phone number where we can contact you right away as well as an address. Often, people forget to include this information and that leaves us at a loss as to who sent the fax. Second, if the item can be engraved, we'll need to have a general idea of what you want it to say. This is  another reason why it's important to include you phone number. We will call you with suggestions and questions.

What forms of payment do you accept?

At present time, cash and checks are accepted. Debit and credit cards are not.

I'm having some difficulty choosing words for the engraving of the award. Can you help me?

Of course. In fact, most of our customers prefer our help. All we'll need is some basic information such as who's receiving the award, why, and who is presenting it. The whole process takes just a few minutes.

Do you charge State Sales Tax?

Yes, by law, we are required to do so. If you are a tax exempt organization and the purchase is for the organization and not a personal purchase for one of it's members, then you are exempt from paying the State tax. Your organization must have it's own tax exemption number and cannot use the number of a parent or sister organization. Simply provide us with the state (119.1-ST), not federal tax exemption form(501C). You can even email or fax it if you like.

Will my order be ready on time?

Absolutely, we have not missed a deadline in 40 years.

What happens if there is an engraving mistake?

If we have made the error, we will fix it free of charge, however, if the error was due to false information such as a misspelled name that we were provided with, you must pay to have the plate re-engraved. It's very important that you are sure of this information before you provide us with it.

What figure can I have on top of the trophy? What medallions are available for my plaque? Can I get my own design on the plaque?

There are hundreds to choose from. By the way, did you know, that we can make custom medallions for your plaques? How about your corporate logo? Or maybe a design of your own. We can make them in 1 week! There will be an additional set-up charge for creating your custom logo. We will need the camera ready artwork on a disk or you can email it to us. Call for more information. You'll be glad you did. Below, are some examples of custom logos that we have designed for our clients.

How about engraving my our logo directly onto the award?

Absolutely; you simply provide the artwork in an eps. file or .ai file and we'll do the rest! It's so simple! There is an initial one-time set-up fee and it does cost a little extra when you use the logo due to the extra time it takes to engrave your award, but the result is spectacular.

Do you have any art design services?

Yes, our in-house art department can handle your custom artwork from start to finish. Call 718-798-5000 and speak with a customer service representative. They will give you all the details on custom artwork and connect you with our art department.

What is camera ready vector art?

There are two different kinds of art used by computers. The two types are "bitmap" art, and "vector" art. Bitmap art includes almost every file type there is: .BMP, .GIF, .JPG or .JPEG, .PCX and the list goes on! These types of pictures have pixels like those found on your television set. If you were to change the size of the picture the pixels would move further apart or closer together thus distorting the picture. Vector file formats include .EPS and the files created and manipulated by professional drawing software products such, Adobe Illustrator®, and Corel Draw®.  These types of pictures have solid lines instead of dots. We require a dpi of at least 300.

What is the charge for art services?

We will be happy to provide you with a quote for art services. Every project is different and art itself varies from basic to complex. We'll take a look at your art and provide you with a custom quote for services.

How long does it take for artwork design?

We strive to complete your artwork design as fast as possible to keep your project on track and on deadline. Please call us and we'll get your artwork design on the fast-track!

Can Art Guild design a logo for me?

Yes! We have a full service art department that can design a high quality logo or art work to make you look like a star.
