Product Safety

Where appropriate, our products have been evaluated by an accredited 3rd party lab and have met safety requirements. For detailed testing information and certificates please contact us. Some items are classed as dangerous goods and cannot be shipped by airfreight and require an MSDS when shipping. Certain products cannot be shipped airfreight due to airline regulations.

Colours & styles

We work closely with our suppliers to ensure minimum colour variations between shipments. It is unavoidable with certain items due to manufacturing processes and dye lot variations. For product colours and styles if important please request a samples from current stock shipment. As we continue to improve our range slight product style changes/colour variations may occur without prior notice. We use various imprinting methods to print products. Including, but not limited to pad printing, direct digital printing, screen printing, sublimation printing, heat transfer, digital labels, epoxy doming, laser engraving. None of these methods (bar laser engraving) are absolutely permanent. Sunlight exposure, scratching, rubbing, cleaning, hand lotions, chemicals and general wear and tear can affect the durability of the print.

Promotional Scratches & Blemishes:

Some of our products may appear to have scratches, scuff marks and blemishe which occurs naturally during the manufacturing process. Shipping can make these excessive. We strive to identify any problematic items and polybag these wherever possible.

Pantone® Colour Matches

Please supply coated Pantone® colours when ordering screen/pad printed items. Utmost care is taken to ensure print colours match as closely as possible. Due to colour and nature of materials however, a 100% colour match is not guaranteed. All materials print differently so if your logo is applied to multiple items variations in print colour may occur.

Technology Compliance and & 12 month limited warranty

Our Power Banks and Wall Chargers are compliant with the necessary Australian / New Zealand standards. Look for the RCM logo. Copies of compliance certificates are available upon request. Products with a USB port or power supply carry a one year limited warranty, from date of purchase against manufacturer defects, and we will refund or replace (at our discretion). Item/s must be returned for assessment. Academic Media is strictly not liable for reimbursements, claims and damages that may have resulted from the unauthorised repair or restoration of these products. If item is returned and deemed to be faulty due to misuse, or found to be in working order, a return postage & handling fee may apply.

Confectionary Conditions

Confectionery is sourced from multiple manufacturers. Variations in bag & size may apply. Our confectionery packaging facility has been accredited by HACCAP – Australia’s food safety certification programme. Due to the manufacturing process some breakup of confectionery is unavoidable. Due to health regulations once confectionery has left our premises product cannot be returned for credit under any circumstances. We recommend confectionery is stored in a cool dry area with a temperature of less than 22 degrees. Flavours & colour may vary from shipment to shipment.

Stress Reliver Conditions

Stress reliever items are not toys or suitable for children or pets. Due to the characteristics of stress item material (PU) adequate force may cause them to tear especially on shapes that have size variations like necks, arms, legs and ears. This is not a fault of the product, and no claims will be considered. Stress item are meant to be squeezed not pulled. Stress relievers are made by hand and no two pieces are exactly the same. It is impossible to guarantee a consistent, uniform print. Broad print areas may break up and print may not be solid. We cannot guarantee colour matches. If in doubt, we recommend ordering a Pre-production proof (at extra cost).

Plush Conditions

Our plush items are individually sewn and stuffed and do vary from shipment to shipment. Variations in standing, sitting sizes and girth do occur. It is a condition of sale that buyers accept multiple sizes within these guidelines.

Brochure and Website Images/Content

To the best of our ability the products published online and in print are represented accurately. Items illustrated are to show personalisation techniques and not to imply they have been supplied to owners of the particular trademark. Product colours depicted may vary from actual products due to photographic reproduction. Typographical errors can occur during the development of web or brochure pages. Colours of our items on our website and in print may not be a true representation of real product and print colour as appearance can be altered through digital print and electronic display systems. Colour variations in product materials can occur, so colour of final product supplied can vary from original sample supplied.

Printed Products (includes diaries and yeabooks too)

Print Colours:

Colour will vary during a print run and between each print run when printing in CMYK. While we make every effort to minimise colour variation there are many factors beyond our control that affect colour.

Variations in the paper making process, constraints of printing and even different temperatures can have an effect on the colour of your finished job.

By selecting a colour from the Pantone colour chart and making sure your order specifies the “map reference” of that colour and that your artwork is set up to the same CMYK breakdown, you will have the best chance of obtaining a colour close to your target colour.

Due to colour and nature of materials, an exact colour match is not guaranteed.
