HOW DO I SUBMIT AN IMAGE OR A LOGO FOR AN ORDER I JUST PLACED?

When placing your order you will have the ability to upload the file that you would like used on that product page. If you happen to miss that at the time you are ordering, feel free to just reply back to your order confirmation email sending the graphic along as an attachment. 

Please be sure that the image you are submitting for your order meets the criteria listed below: *Files should NOT contain any fonts that are less than 6 points in size and/or lines less than 0.5 points in thickness. For best results, image resolution should be at least 300dpi at 100% imprint size.

At Candy With a Twist we believe in having fun. However, we do have some guidelines regarding what images can appear on our products.

The following items are NOT acceptable:

-Please do not request any objectionable words or phrases to be used for your items.

-No obscenities or inappropriate photos/designs.

Candy With a Twist products are intended for personal as well as business use. That means we will not honor requests for images or names that belong to a business, product, celebrity, sports teams, major events, schools or institutions unless permission is granted by the organization that rightfully owns the requested image/design.

Candy With a Twist reserves the right to edit text & text color to make the best possible image. In the event of drastic design changes we will contact you.

 

I noticed that some of the marshmallows shown on your site are printed horizontally, why is that?

The orientation of the marshmallow during printing is determined by the graphic/logo provided. A stacked or vertical design will result in the marshmallow being printed in a vertical upright orientation. A graphic submitted to use that is landscaped and wide, will result in the marshmallow being printed on its side and unable to stand. This is done to ensure the best most legible and proportionate print is achieved. If you would still prefer to have the marshmallow printed vertically please let us know. It can still be done just please understand that it will result in a much smaller final printing result.

 

Do I get to see a proof of the product ahead of time?

We can send digital proofs of the s'mores & marshmallows (upon request only) this gives you a really good idea of what the finished product will look like. We are happy to send generic marshmallow samples at no charge. We just ask that you cover the cost of shipping. However, if you have a specific logo that you would like used on the sample the cost is $25 per item being requested.

 

Can I have a different image on each marshmallow?

How should I store my items until I am ready to use them?

We suggest that you DO NOT REFRIGERATE or freeze any of your items. The ideal place for our products is in a cool dry place away from heat and direct light/sunlight. Due to the nature of the "ink" (food coloring) used for the images, prolonged exposure to the light will cause fading and discoloration. It's best to keep you items stored away in a box or dark area until they are ready to be used for your event. In these conditions, the shelf life for our products average about 4-6 weeks.
