Your order, step by step
How do I order?
Choose a design, product type, and size. Enter the school and player details and upload the requested photos and logos. Add each player as a separate cart item. Quantity means identical copies of that player’s item. We create your artwork after your order is placed.
How many yard signs do I need to order?
Yard signs are sold in batches of 10. You can mix designs and player details: for example, 10 different players with one sign each, or several designs totaling 10 signs. Add items individually. Your combined yard-sign quantity must total 10, 20, 30, and so on. Other product types do not count toward the yard-sign batch.
Can I order for a whole team?
Yes. Shared fields marked “Keep for next item” stay filled after you add an item to your cart, including shared uploads. Player-specific fields clear so you can enter the next athlete. For a full team order, we first provide one sample design for approval. Once the shared design is approved, we provide draft versions of the individual pieces for a final check of each player’s images and spelling.
What is included in the design process?
Every order includes one initial design proof and one revision. Additional drafts are $15 each. For a team order, approve the shared design before we prepare all of the individual pieces. Please review every piece carefully before giving final approval.
Can you create an exclusive 1-of-1 design?
Yes. Choose an Exclusive Player Design or Exclusive Team Design, select your product and size, and provide a creative brief. The finished design is reserved for the named player or team and will not be offered as a template to other customers. Exclusive product prices are 20% above the regular format and size price, rounded up to a price ending in .99. The price displayed when you order applies to each piece. Normal proof, revision, rush and yard-sign batch rules apply.
Can I save a design or draft?
Choose your item and add your details to the cart. We create the artwork after you place your order; there is no customer design editor or saved artwork draft.
Photos, logos & colors
What photos should I upload?
Use the original, highest-resolution photo available. Choose a sharp, well-lit image with the player clearly visible and enough space around the body for the selected layout. Avoid screenshots, small social-media downloads, heavy filters, and images with cropped-off heads, hands, or feet when those areas need to appear in the design. Upload the photos requested on the product page.
Is background removal included?
Reasonable background removal is included. Very detailed or busy backgrounds can make a clean cutout impossible. We may request a different image if the photo cannot be used cleanly.
What if my photo is not good enough?
We will request a higher-quality replacement if the submitted photo will not produce a good result. If adequate images cannot be provided, the order will be cancelled and refunded.
What should I provide for a school logo?
Upload the best original logo file you have. A vector file or a large, clear image is preferable to a screenshot. Make sure you have permission to use the photos and logos you submit.
Will the printed colors match exactly?
We make our best effort to match your colors, but exact color matches are not guaranteed. Colors can look different on screens and in print. Include any specific color references in your order notes.
Proofs, approval & delivery
When will I see my design?
Standard service provides a first proof within 48 hours. We will contact you if replacement photos or additional information are needed.
What should I check before approval?
Check every name, spelling, number, school or mascot detail, image, color choice, and size. For team orders, check each individual piece as well as the shared design. Your final approval authorizes production.
When will my physical order arrive?
Standard delivery is 3–5 business days after approval. Physical products ship within the continental United States. Contact us before ordering if you have a specific event deadline.
Is rush service available?
Rush service costs $24.99 per piece, provides a first proof within 12 hours, and delivery within 2 business days after approval. Select rush service on each item’s product page; the fee applies to every copy in the selected quantity.
What you receive
Are these physical products or digital files?
Check the product type selected with your size. Physical products are printed and shipped. Digital Artwork is a separate product type and includes no physical item. A banner design may offer both physical and digital options; select the one you want before adding it to your cart.
What materials, finishing, or hardware are included?
The product details for your selected product type describe materials, finishing, included hardware, and care when available. These vary by product type. If a specification you need is not listed, contact us before ordering.
What resolution are digital banner files?
JPG artwork supplied at 150 pixels per inch (PPI) at the ordered print size. For example, a 24" x 36" file is 3600 x 5400 pixels. No physical product is included. Contact us before ordering if your printer requires a different format or resolution.
How will I receive digital artwork?
We email you when your digital artwork is ready. Sign in with your order email to download the files from your order page. Digital files are for personal use only and may not be resold or altered. Contact us before ordering if you need a particular format or have specific printing requirements.
Changes, cancellations & problems
Can I cancel my order?
Cancellations are allowed only before approval. Sign in to My account with your order email, open the order, and choose “Cancel order…” to request a full refund to the original payment method. Orders cannot be cancelled after approval. Contact us with your order number if you need help.
Can I return a personalized product?
Personalized products are not returnable. Please review your proof carefully before approving it.
What if there is an error or a shipping problem?
If the finished product matches your approved design, errors in the approved details are the customer’s responsibility. We will replace damaged orders or incorrect products resulting from our mistake. Contact pete@gamemadedesigns.com with your order information so we can help.
