Custom Orders FAQ
If you cannot find the product you are looking for on SinaLite.com, chances are we can still produce it. By requesting a custom quote, our team of estimators will send you the price to complete your job.
Yes, as long as you’re a print reseller or graphic designer. We recommend first registering for an account on SinaLite.com here, and browsing the thousands of standard products for which you can already get an instant quote. If you still cannot find the product, please request a custom quote.
Take a moment to become familiar with our website and our products. Note that for the same specs, it is more cost-efficient if items are ordered online as a standard item versus a custom order. If you have any questions about ordering, feel free to call 1-866-899-2499 to speak to customer service.
If the item you want is not a standard item on our website, you can click on “Request a custom quote” on the left hand side of the page, or by going here. We’ll get back to you via email with your price within 24 hours.
Most items that we offer can be found using our drop down menu options on our custom quote request form here .
If you’re still not able to find what’s needed, please describe it to the best of your ability in the “Additional notes” section. The more information, the better, as it will give us an idea of what should be quoted. Ideally, the following content should be included: flat and final size, quantity, ink, number of versions, what type of finishing/bindery is needed, etc.
If you’d like to attach a picture, or if you have your own custom quote request document, go to the custom quote form and select “I have my own submission form to upload”. There will be an area for you to upload your file there.
Normally, quotations take up to 24 hours to process. If you’re concerned and would like to follow up, feel free to call 1-866-899-2499 and ask to speak to an estimator. Have the quote request ID number ready (this should be a seven digit number generated when you submit a quote request), so our estimators can view your request.
Once you received the quote via email, click the link within the email to respond to the estimator. If you’d like to speak to one over the phone, feel free call 1-866-899-2499, provide the quote number, and mention that you would like to talk to the estimator that provided you the quote.
If you have already submitted the quote as a custom job, our production coordinators will take care of your custom orders. Feel free to call 1-866-899-2499, and ask to speak to a production coordinator.
Prices quoted normally are without shipping and tax. If you would like a shipping quote, feel free to contact our shipping department at shipping@sinalite.com and provide them with the same details of your quote and the address of where the print item is to be sent, for an assessment of the shipping cost.
Please note that quotes are valid for 30 days only - following this period they would need to be re-evaluated.
When receiving your quote, please read the letter to ensure that the specs quoted align with the actual specs of your job. If there are differences, the job would need to be re-quoted and subsequent charges may apply.
In addition, additional charges would apply for the following:

Most of the time, this error message is due to the PDF file name. Please ensure that there are no special characters in your file name (Letters and numbers should be fine to use, but special characters such as “!” , “$”, hyphens, etc. may cause this error message).
Once the proof is sent, there will be a email sent from our accounting department which will have a link inside it. To pay, click the link and follow the prompts to pay for the order.
Once the job is submitted, Prepress takes about 24 hours to send the proof via email. Note that for large format jobs, proofs will not be sent; large format and roll label items will go straight into production after they have been paid for.
With the exception of large format jobs*, if you have submitted a job in the past and would like to run the exact same order, please send a request to our estimating team to first get the quote updated, as quotes are only valid for 30 days. Instead of filling out the entire quote request, just mention that you need an updated version of your previous quote (be sure to specify your previous quote #).
Once you have received the new updated quote, please go to the job submission portal and submit your order. You do not need to attach the artwork IF it is the same as last time. You can mention the previous job # in the notes section when submitting the new order for printing.
*We do not hold onto previously run large format jobs; the files need to be resubmitted from scratch.
For regular orders, the price is shown by a) having an approved account, b) logging in, and c) selecting the desired product
Feel free to email support@shoutdel.com or call 1-866-899-2499 to speak to a customer service representative if you need assistance with ordering online.
