12. My local has designed a logo that they’d like to include in the shirt embroidery options. How can we make the logo available to the members?
To use the NATCA logo or name in a different font or format, prior approval from the National Office is required. All items bearing the NATCA name or logo must be union-made or, at a minimum, American-made. Facility representatives must submit their designs to their Regional Vice President for approval. Upon approval, a JPEG file, or a vector file such as an ai. or svg. can be emailed to [email protected] or call 800-266-0895 for assistance.
To get custom embroidery from NATCA, the initial process involves digitizing the design and a $50 setup fee, which includes a stitch-out. If the design is approved by the National Office, and there are no copyright or trademark issues, it will be uploaded to store.natca.org along with other available logos. A $25 vendor inconvenience fee applies if you decide not to proceed after the stitch-out has been completed.
Depending on the complexity of the logo and the embroiderer’s recommendation based on the file size given, we also offer other services like vectorizing an image. This process converts a pixel-based image (like a JPG or PNG), into a vector format (like SVG or EPS). Vector graphics gives a more professional, polished look and can be scaled to any resolution without getting blurry. The cost of this service is $25 which is optional.
13. We would like to change the name (or color scheme) of the existing logo. How can we get that added or replaced in NATCA Store?
Changes to the name (using existing font) or color scheme can be made for a $25 fee per logo. Pricing may vary based on the complexity of the logo.
14. My local currently does not have a logo. How can we get one designed and added to the store site?
Facility representatives please send in your concept or thoughts to [email protected]. Our embroiderer will create the logo from scratch. You then submit the final logo to your RVP or NATCA Store will submit the design to the National Office for approval on your behalf. Depending on the complexity of the design, there is an artwork fee of $75 and this includes two revisions. Additional revisions will be billed at $50 per hour. Once the logo is approved, the next step is the embroidery (note the $50 embroidery set up charge). Assuming there are no trademark infringements and that there are no copyright problems, we will include it in the current list of available logos at store.natca.org. All items bearing the NATCA name or logo shall be union made or, at a minimum, American made.
15. What is the process of setting up a design on t-shirts?
T-shirt designs is silk-screened, and the charge is $20 per color, depending on the design. If you plan to have the design on a variety of t-shirt background colors or if your logo has more than one color, the charge is per screen/layer per color. If you need assistance adding text or graphic to the existing design, note there is a $50 artwork fee for the revision.
Advanced National Office approval is required for the use of the NATCA name or logo in another font or format. You may submit your design to your RVP for approval or NATCA Store can submit the final design to the National Office on your behalf.
You can also order t-shirts at NATCA store but at a 24-piece minimum. Once we have an idea on the t-shirt colors, size and quantity, we will provide full pricing later. All items bearing the NATCA name or logo shall be union made or, at a minimum, American made.
16. What type of file can we send for our custom logo?
Our union embroiderer prefers vector graphics like .eps or .svg but jpeg file format will do. Be advised vector graphics designs won’t be exactly the way it is received. It would be very pixelated, and our embroiderer won’t be able to use the file for reference. It’s like attempting to duplicate an excel spreadsheet on to a word doc. What can be done is to duplicate it to the best way possible. If you have a preference on the color of the design, please provide the PMS color #’s before they can print, otherwise they will match the colors as best as they can. The more detail the description, we can keep the revisions to a minimum. We also take images from drawings, and we will redraw the best way in what is envisioned. There might be a redrawn fee, but it is negotiable.
17. I have an idea for a product that I think would sell. What should I do?
Contact Customer Service at [email protected] or call 800-266-0895. If your idea is feasible and if it is USA Made, we will consider adding it to our current Store selection. It is as simple as that!!
