How much do I save?

We consider the average monthly orders you place to determine the wholesale discount level you qualify for. Our wholesale discounts typically range from 5% to 15%.

What happens if I fail to meet the requirements?
If you do not meet the requirement for two consecutive months, your account will be downgraded to a lower-tier discount and eventually become a standard account.

What if one month I didn't meet the requirements?
If you didn't place any orders in July but got 8 in August, your average for the two months would be four orders. This means you would still meet the requirements.

Do you offer sample kits?
Yes, if you are approved for our broker's program, we do have non-branded sample kits available that you can use to show to your clients.

Are sample kits required, and how much do they cost?
Sample kits are optional but necessary, and we highly recommend that you have them.

What's in a sample kit?
A sample kit includes a paper swatch book that's printed in full color. It contains paper materials used for all of our print product categories. Each paper material is labeled, showing the paper stock and finish. It also includes a few miniature sheets of vinyl banner materials and other large formats printed in full color and labeled to show the material and quality.

What discount level/group do I get if I am approved?
Your average over the last three months will determine your wholesale group.

How do I get a higher discount?
If you are in a 2-4 orders a month discount group, and for the past 3 months you have averaged 4-5 orders, you will have to contact us to review your account. Your discount will be adjusted for upcoming orders once your account has been reviewed and approved.

Does being a broker mean your company employs me?
No. Being a broker does not mean CARDSandBANNERS.com employs you. It means you are placing more monthly orders than an average customer, and you meet the requirements to qualify for a wholesale discount.

How do I quit being a broker?
Just stop placing orders. After 2 months of not placing any orders, your account will automatically be converted to a standard account.

I have a sales tax ID. Do you need that?
We only require it for the state of Utah. If you have a sales tax ID and would like to order it tax-free so that you can resell it, you will need to provide a copy of your tax documents. After providing and approving your documents, your account will be adjusted for future orders.

Can I pick up my order at your location?
No. We no longer offer "hold for pick-up." All orders have to be shipped. You can choose to have your order delivered to your shop, or we also offer blind drop shipping.

What is blind drop shipping?
Instead of using our company name and address as the sender, we will use your name and address as the sender on a shipment label. This option is perfect for resellers that want to ship directly to their clients without revealing their supplier.

What is the difference between Broker's Program and the Loyalty Program?
Both programs receive discounts based on several factors, such as the number of orders placed, the age of the account, frequency of orders, adherence to our print-ready templates, timely approval of proofs, and overall smooth transactions. The loyalty program is available to anyone and is subject to management review and approval, and there's no application necessary. The broker program generally offers better wholesale pricing levels, has stricter requirements, is subject to much larger order minimum requirements, and is only available for qualified graphic designers, print brokers, print shops, and freelance artists.

Existing Brokers:

I was already a broker and had just been approved for a higher discount group. Can I get a refund on the orders I placed before I was approved?
No. You can only get a discount after your account has been approved, and your discount will automatically apply to the next order you place. Orders that you already placed cannot be adjusted.

I used to get higher discounts as a broker before on my account. What happened?
You must not have placed enough orders for the discount level that you were at. After 2 months of not meeting our requirements, your account automatically converts you to the proper discount level.

Do I pay at the time of order or after?
All orders are paid at the time of order.
