Ordering Process

Process Overview

Please contact us FIRST for all orders. We take care of everything to streamline the process between us, UTA’s brand standards, your needs, and the vendor’s product specifications.

  1. You request an item directly from us at the start of your project.
  2. We help you select an item from an approved vendor based on your needs.
  3. We gather cost estimates from the vendor and provide them to you for approval.
  4. We design the artwork and provide a draft for you to review.
  5. We receive your approval.
  6. We send the artwork to the vendor.
  7. The vendor sends us a proof. We review the vendor’s proof first, then send the proof to you for approval.

What is a “proof”? A proof is the final artwork you need to review closely before it goes to production. As the name implies, you will need to proofread the artwork and, ideally, have a few team members look at it as well.

What is an “approval”? An approval certifies that the proof is error-free, completely final, and approved for production.

Creative Request

We need to know the following to design your artwork.

  • What item would you like?
  • How many would you like to order?
  • What color item would you like?
  • What color imprint would you like on the item?
  • What text or artwork would you like on the item in addition to your departmental signature?
