(1) Can I get a free printed version of your catalog? Our company policy is to send free catalogs, upon request, only with qualifying orders. If you're not placing an order, you can purchase a catalog for just $5 to cover catalog cost and postage. Click here to order a catalog now. Please note: Our Shopping Cart contains ALL current products in our printed catalog and ONLY those products...nothing more. We try to keep our websites updated as products sell out and are discontinued. Everything in our printed catalog (including pictures and prices) is shown in our Online Catalog as well, which is also updated as changes occur. IN ADDITION, there are more products shown on our main web site than there are in our printed product catalog! Just use the E-Z Navigator bar for quick access to all products on this site. Please keep the following in mind if you choose to Order a Catalog. Web pages with the following image in the top left margin are included in our printed catalog:  Additional product information, which may be accessed thru Online Catalog page links, is available only online. We are confident that if our products are appropriate for your needs, you can find what you need on our web sites. We'll be happy to help you navigate by phone or e-mail if you need help. You can find a list of site contents with links that take you directly to the page you need...just Click Here. OR...Click here for instructions, and download our catalog in pdf format. It's a free download, but recommended only for high-speed internet users, due to its size! (2) How do I get to your Online Catalog? Click here for the first page of our complete, full-color Online Catalog. From that point, you can simply click the "Next" or "Back" links at the top and bottom of each page to move thru the catalog. (3) The Internet/Computer is new to me. How can I find my way around this site? We can understand that. Congratulations for finding your way this far! Following are some quick and easy site navigation tips. Some of them are specific to this site, while others will apply to the Internet in general. This is a great way to learn! We receive many 'rave reviews' about how easy our site is to navigate, so it shouldn't take long to learn. Shopping or browsing our Shopping Cart site: SHOPPING CART--General product categories are listed in the left margin of each page of our Shopping Cart. Click a category to expand the list and show sub-categories, then click on the specific category that interests you. (In some cases, there will be multiple sub-categories.) The list of products in that category will then appear on the right side of the screen. Scroll down the page to show the full selection. To order from the cart, simply enter the quantity you want in the box to the right of the product, then click the yellow "I Want This" button. This will add the product to your Basket. To see the contents of your Basket at any time, simply click the black "Basket Contents" button towards the top of the screen. When you're done shopping, click the black "Checkout" button at the top right of the screen. On-screen directions will walk you thru the rest of the process for submitting your order. Shopping or browsing our Online Catalog and Main Web Site: E-Z NAVIGATOR BAR--You'll find our signature "Take Me There" Button near the top of all pages on this site (except our Shopping Cart). Simply click anywhere on the bar to the left of the button, and a drop-down/up menu should appear. Our entire Online Catalog and most of our main website pages are listed on this menu. Scroll to browse the selection list, click on any item you wish to see, then click the "Take Me There" button to the right of the bar. You'll go directly to the page you selected. (Note: Do not click 'Take Me There' until you've clicked on a menu item first...this tells the Navigator where you want to go.) TO BROWSE THRU THE ONLINE CATALOG-- Click here to access the Online Catalog pages....Then simply click the Pointing Fingers "Next" or "Back" buttons on the top and bottom of each page to thumb thru the catalog quickly. Or, you can use the 'Search this Site' link at the top of each page to quickly find particular products you may be looking for. You can also use your browser's Edit/Find on the menu bar to find anything on any single page--Just click on Edit, then select Find from the drop-down menu, and type in the item you're looking for. Another thing to keep in mind is the SEARCH BOX at the top of every page of both our shopping cart and main website. Type in the product you're looking for, being as specific as possible, and click the Search button. This will search our entire website for you. TO FIND A PARTICULAR ITEM--If you know what you're looking for, rather than just browsing thru the Online Catalog you may want to start here: Table of Contents or here: Catalog Index. At these sites, click the text link that describes the products, and you will go directly to the Online Catalog page that contains complete information including wholesale prices, pictures and color charts (if available). (4) I can't find what I need on this site. Do you carry any other products? Everything we carry is now posted on our website. If we have what you need, you should be able to find it using the navigation and search tips mentioned above. However, terminology can play havoc with search results if we have a different name for the product than what you are using. If you can't find what you need, you're welcome to us with as much detail as possible, or call (800)486-5783. (5) I just don't have time to shop online. Can't I get a printed catalog? Please refer to Questions (1) and (3) above for tips on quick and easy navigation. ALSO, keep in mind that most pages at this site print well with your left and right margins set at 1/4". You can print some of the pages for handy off-line reference. Or better yet...you can view, print or save selected pages in Adobe pdf format. Click here to access the individual page download site. There's also a link at the bottom of each online catalog page to the pdf version of that page, which is identical to the printed catalog page itself. OR even better...Click here for instructions, and download our catalog in pdf format. It's a free download...but recommended for high-speed internet users only, due to its size! If this doesn't work for you, then Click here to order a catalog. (6) What are your wholesale prices? Can I get a wholesale price list? All the prices at this site are "wholesale-to-retail" prices. We sell to retail stores, organizations, businesses, crafters and artisans. All prices are listed on the full-color Online Catalog pages, together with product descriptions and pictures, when available. We don't have any other prices. PLEASE NOTE: The term "Retail Packaging" sometimes leads people to think these are retail prices. "Retail Packaging" is the term used in the industry to describe packaging products used by retailers, and has nothing to do with the price or method in which it is sold. (7) I don't understand the catalog prices. What do the numbered columns 1-5-10-25 mean? These are wholesale 'Price Per Unit" quantity prices when ordering 5 or more units. "Unit" is defined for each product. This can usually be found at the top right of the yellow 1-5-10-25 price column headings in our online catalog. Example: "Price per Unit/1 unit=1 carton" The "Ctn Pack" column shows the number of pieces contained in each carton, for example 100. Using carton pack of 100 as an example: 1 = 1 through 4 units (100-400 pieces) - use 1-column price per unit 5 = 5 through 9 units (500-900 pieces) - use 5-column price per unit 10 = 10 through 24 units (1000-2400 pieces) - use 10-column price per unit 25 = 25 or more units (2500+ pieces) - use 25-column price per unit Example: Laminated Eurobags If you buy 1-4 cartons, you pay the price per carton shown in the first column. However, if you buy 12 cartons, you pay the 10-column price per carton. Some items, such as Laminated Eurobags (item# beginning GL-), can be combined for quantity pricing. That is, you can order 5 different colors or sizes and pay the 5-column price per carton. Please note, we sell only in full units, unless otherwise specified. If 'split cases' are available, these will be listed on our Close-Out Specials page. (8) Can I get free samples? Although we've done our best to show the products and colors here, nobody can guarantee exact colors shown on a web site or in a printed catalog, due to technology variations. Please remember also that with any product, colors may vary slightly from one run to the next, so it's best to use contrasting or complementary colors rather than trying to match exact colors. With this in mind...We can occasionally send a sample of some of our products. Contact us by phone or email to request the sample. Depending on the item, there may be a charge to cover shipping and product cost. Please, do not request a sample simply to fill your need for a single item. (We realize that sounds tacky. We know you wouldn't do this, but some people will.) Sending samples is very expensive, and can contribute to higher prices overall or create a need for us to change our policies relating to samples. We do want to make sure you order what you want, however, so we will do our best to provide a sample if necessary. In this case, we request that you contact us when you receive it. You may be placed on a follow-up call list if we don't hear from you. (9) How do I place my order? We offer several different ways to order, to accommodate your individual comfort level... [A] Order and Pay Online - 2% Order Discount (the most flexible--order any time, day or night): Our "https://...." order sites are secure (confirmed by the 'padlock' image displayed on the lower right of your browser when you order). There are several Order links on each page of our website, to fit your ordering style: (i) BASIC-SECURE ORDER FORM Fill in the blanks for contact/shipping, payment info, product code/description, pricing and total. (ii) AUTO-SECURE ORDER FORM Fill in the blanks for contact/shipping, payment info, product code/description, pricing...and the form helps calculate your order total. (iii) SHOPPING CART - Secure Ordering If you prefer the easier 'click to order' method, and the option of storing your shipping/contact information (to save time on future orders), use our Shopping Cart to order. Only our Catalog items are available thru this Shopping Cart. [B] Fax or Mail your order: We provide a Printable Order Form for those who prefer the traditional method of writing out their order. (i) PRINTABLE ORDER FORM (Hint: You can also use this form as a worksheet to organize your order -OR- keep it handy to use as a Shopping List, adding to it as you become aware of supplies you need to order.) The form provides our phone and fax numbers, and our mailing address. [C] Order By Phone: (800)486-5783 (Continental U.S. only) or (316)772-0311 9 am - 4:30 pm Central Time Mon-Fri (10) How do I pay for my order? The best way is to use your credit card. We accept Discover, Visa, MasterCard and American Express Cards. Or...You can mail us a cashier's check with your order, but you must call first so we can calculate your total, including shipping. Personal checks will result in a 2-week delay in the processing of your order. Credit card orders are processed immediately. We do not offer any credit terms. (11) Do you have stationery supplies like envelopes, printing paper & copier paper? Yes, we do---but you can't have them! We need them to keep our office running! OK--Seriously...With the exception of gift card envelopes, if you are looking for these items, chances are you are on the wrong site! Our name is very similar to another reputable, but unrelated, company which is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida: Mac Papers (with an s). Their web site is: http://www.macpapers.com. You might try their site...but please keep us in mind when you need bulk, wholesale gift packaging supplies. Thanks! (12) Do you have corrugated shipping boxes? Yes, we do have a line of heavy, corrugated boxes suitable for shipping. However, these are the upscale, giftable, decorative, "keeper" type of boxes. We don't carry the standard corrugated boxes with flaps. (13) What is your location? Our office is located at 9622 S. Ridge Rd, Sedgwick, Kansas. The mailing address is P.O. Box 184, Sedgwick, KS 67135. The company is a registered Kansas corporation. (14) Where do these products ship from? Some products are shipped direct from the factory and these locations vary, depending on the product. Some giftwraps ship from Texas, or from the east or west coast, as indicated by our Giftwrap Gallery names. Catalog items usually ship from the north-central area of the US. (15) How long does shipping take? As a general rule, if you place your order before 11 a.m. (Central Standard Time), it will ship the next day. NOTE: Lead time Oct-Dec may be 2-4 days before shipping. If shipping by UPS Ground, we ask that you allow a minimum of one full week for transit, to be on the safe side. Of course, this will vary depending on what you are ordering and where you are located. Please allow a few extra days for giftwraps, as they sometimes take longer to process than other products. Express shipping (example UPS 2nd Day Air)--the day it ships is not counted as one of the 2 days, nor are weekends and holidays. An order that ships Thursday via 2nd Day Air will be delivered the following Monday. Custom printed items can take 4-6 weeks or longer, depending on the item. Approximate lead times are posted on the web page together with the product and ordering information for custom printed items. UPS tracking numbers are usually provided with email confirmations for orders placed online. This allows you to track your shipment thru the UPS website, so you'll know when to expect delivery. (16) How do you ship the products? Our standard shipping method is UPS Ground. You can request express shipping (Next Day, 2nd Day, 3-Day Select), but please be aware that shipping costs can be more than the product price this way. We encourage you to plan ahead, to avoid express shipping costs. NOTE: Express shipping (Next, 2nd and 3-Day) can often be much higher than expected. Large items that are relatively lightweight (such as shreds, star bows, setup boxes, etc.) may be classified as 'dimensional weight' by UPS...or similarly by other shipping companies, due to the space they consume in transit as related to the cost of transporting. This means that an item weighing 10-lb might ship for a 25-lb charge or more. If you have a Federal Express account and provide us with your account number, we can ship via FedEx using your number. If you do this, then we charge you only for the cost of the product, and shipping charges are billed to you by Federal Express. Because of our modified shipping program, however, we are not able to bill shipping charges to your UPS account number. We do NOT ship via US Mail. (17) What are the shipping charges? Shipping charges are based on UPS rates, which are based on the shipping weight and size of the product(s) as well as the shipping zone for your area. Shipping is billed at cost, with minimum charges as follows: Minimum UPS Ground shipping charge is $6.50 within the Continental U.S.. Minimum shipping charge for air shipments is as follows: 3-Day Select $12.00 2nd Day $16.00 Next-Day $36.00. NOTE: This minimum charge only covers about 2 lbs to a commercial address, shipping within the Continental U.S., with the exception of those items that ship as 'dimensional weight' as defined in #16 above. Standard shipping weight is often a few lbs heavier than actual product weights shown, due to the outside shipping containers and/or necessary packing to protect the products. When you place your order by phone, we can advise you of shipping charges and they will be included with the total charge to your credit card. (If pre-paying by check or money order, please contact us for the total charge before sending payment.) When placing your order online, if you need to know shipping charges before your order ships, there is a place on the order form to request this if you choose. Otherwise, you will be notifed via e-mail after shipment to advise you of the date shipped, shipping charge and total charge to your credit card. (18) What are your hours? Phone Order hours are 9:00 A.M. to 4:30 P.M. Central Standard Time, Monday thru Friday. Please note that Central Time is 1 hour behind Eastern, 1 hour ahead of Mountain Time, and 2 hours ahead of Pacific Time. E-Mail is often monitored on weekends and evenings, as well as our normal working hours. If hours are changed due to holiday schedules etc., this will be posted at the top of each website page in the "Company Newsbriefs" box. (19) Do you have a minimum order? There is NO minimum dollar order on our "stock catalog items", which are currently listed on pages 4-73 of our online catalog section and marked with a "C" catalog logo in the upper left margin. If you're working from a printed catalog that you've ordered from us, "stock catalog items" refers to our general "Wholesale Gift Packaging" catalog that includes boxes, bags, tissue, gift wrap, ribbons, tape, etc. all in the same catalog. Related Notes: (a) Some non-catalog items have a minimum quantity order, which is noted on the web page where the items are displayed. This includes sections such as our Zippered Garment Bags and the Printshop. Gallery Giftwraps sometimes carry a minimum to qualify for freight-free shipping. (b) Our minimum shipping charges are listed in #16 above. (c) We do not split cases, or "units", as defined with each product. (d) We have an additional catalog available for giftwraps only, featuring our Gallery East selections. This information is also shown on our website. If you're working from this giftwrap catalog and a minimum order is not shown, please verify minimums when ordering. (20) Do you only sell to businesses? Yes. And no. Most individuals have no interest in purchasing the bulk quantities we carry. However there are many organizations, as well as businesses, who assign purchasing responsibilities to individuals when preparing for banquets, weddings or other special events. In addition to 'Click & Mortar' and 'Brick & Mortar' businesses, we sell to small, home-based artisans and crafters who make products to sell in stores or at market. We also sell to many new start-up businesses. We request that you supply us with your State Sales Tax ID#, or another business identification number, at the time of your order. If you don't have one yet, we strongly encourage you to contact your state offices and apply for one now. (21) What geographical area do you serve? We serve all 50 U.S. States as well as Puerto Rico. This is based on the availability of UPS ground shipping. We do NOT ship or sell outside of these areas, and we do not ship via US Mail. When ordering, you MUST provide a valid U.S. credit card billing address as well as a U.S. shipping address. (22) What if something I order is out of stock? Altho we can usually keep backorders to a minimum, they are a reality with any business. Unless requested otherwise, backorders will be shipped separately as soon as possible. If additional shipping costs result, this cost will NOT be passed on to you. Depending on the item and season, we can usually fill backorders within 1-2 weeks; however, imported items can incur longer backorder periods. Holiday seasons and exceptionally high-quantity orders can also affect lead time. In some cases, we can ship large orders directly from the manufacturer, which may reduce the lead time. Please Note: Due to our wide variety of products, we may not stock huge quantities of everything at all times. Depending upon the item, high-volume orders of one single item may take longer to fill. You may inquire about availability and lead-times when ordering. We'll do our best to meet your needs. Thanks. Ordering as far in advance of your needs will help alleviate the stress caused by 'just in time' ordering, and will help us plan for your needs. (23) Can you print my company name/logo on my packaging products? Between January and September, some of our products can be imprinted. In most cases, our Online Catalog includes a link by each imprintable product, which takes you to detailed printing information. For more information and specifications regarding custom imprinting, check out our Printshop. Please note: We do not accept new or modified print orders between October and December. Also...Repeat custom-print orders placed after Sept 30 are NOT guaranteed to arrive in time for holiday use. PLEASE order custom-print items early in the year. A word to the wise: Custom-printed orders take extra attention to detail, which takes time. Custom-print orders speak your name and reflect your image to everyone who sees them. They deserve to be planned and ordered well in advance for the best possible results. (24) Do you have any recycled, earth-friendly, "green" packaging? Yes, we offer a variety of environmentally-friendly packaging products, such as: + "Encore" white and clear/frost Ameritotes, Super Frost Wave, and HD Merchandise bags which contain 25% Post-Consumer recycled material...and the colored bags also have some recycled content. + Bamboo Manhattan Bags, made from bamboo fiber...one of the most renewable natural resources available. + E-Flute Corrugated boxes, recyclable and biodegradable. + Recycled natural kraft shopping bags, 99.5% Post-Consumer Material & .65% Post Industrial. + Recycled kraft tissue, 100% Post-Industrial Recycled fibers, and Economy white tissue which contains no less than 20% Post-Consumer Recycled fibers. + Geami protective packaging/cushioning (honeycomb-like), outstanding, cost effective and very eco-friendly...100% recyclable and made from post-industrial recycled material. We believe it's possible to be both functional and eco-friendly, and continue to keep product recyclability in mind. (25) I still have questions. Now what? Well...we did our best, but we learned long ago that we can't see into the minds of all our customers. Please for help, or call us a (800)486-5783. As always, we'll do our best to help you. |
