Product Representations:

• We make every effort to ensure all product images on our website, proofs and virtual proofs are accurate and true to the product. However, due to changes in stock, computer monitor color variations and other factors, we strongly recommenda sample be requested before placing your order so that you are assured that the product is exactly what you're expecting.

• Small variations in images and virtual proofs are to be expected and will not result in credits.

Product color images are digital and due to the many variations in monitors and browsers, the color sample images may appear different from monitor to monitor. Please refer to an item's hi-res image and if it is important that the sample is exact, it is highly recommended that you order a sample first, before placing the order to better determine the exact color and/or shade. We do not guarantee that what you see accurately portrays the color of the actual product and may vary slightly lot to lot. After you receive your samples, please keep in mind that even the actual sample can have minimal color variations from the finished product as stated. They may vary slightly from the actual product and there are also dye lot changes in the material - we cannot be responsible for these small variances/differences.
