Return & Refund Policy
At Shop Custom Papers, customer satisfaction is our priority. Every order is produced according to the specifications approved by our customers. Since we manufacture custom printed paper products specifically for each order, our return and refund process differs from that of standard retail products.
Please read this policy carefully before placing an order.
Custom-Made Products
All products offered by Shop Custom Papers are manufactured according to the customer’s approved specifications, including:
- Paper type
- Size and dimensions
- Quantity
- Printing colors
- Logo placement
- Artwork
- Finishing options
- Packaging requirements
Because these products are made exclusively for each customer, they cannot generally be resold or reused.
For this reason, custom orders are typically non-returnable unless there is a manufacturing defect or an error caused by Shop Custom Papers.
Artwork Approval
Before production begins, customers are responsible for reviewing and approving all digital artwork proofs provided by our design or production team.
The approved proof represents the final version that will be printed.
Customers should carefully verify:
- Logo placement
- Text content
- Spelling
- Grammar
- Dimensions
- Colors
- Images
- Bleed areas
- Design layout
Once production has started, changes cannot be made.
Shop Custom Papers is not responsible for errors that appear in customer-approved artwork.
Order Cancellation
Customers may request cancellation before production begins.
If production has not started, cancellation requests may be approved.
If artwork preparation or manufacturing has already begun, cancellation may not be possible, and any costs already incurred may be deducted from the refund amount.
Orders that have entered printing or production cannot be canceled.
Returns
Due to the customized nature of our products, we do not accept returns for:
- Customer design changes
- Incorrect information provided by the customer
- Approved artwork containing errors
- Incorrect size selected
- Color preference changes
- Change of mind

Returns are only considered when products contain verified manufacturing defects or production errors caused by Shop Custom Papers.

Refund Eligibility
Refunds may be considered only when:

- The order cannot be fulfilled as agreed.
Refunds are issued at our sole discretion after reviewing each case.
Reprint Policy
Whenever possible, Shop Custom Papers prefers to resolve verified manufacturing issues by producing replacement products.
A complimentary reprint may be offered when:
- Incorrect artwork was printed despite customer approval records showing otherwise.
- Wrong paper stock was used.
- Significant printing defects occurred.

Reprints may require the return of defective products or supporting photographs before production begins.
Color Variations
Printed colors may vary slightly due to:
- Paper stock differences
- Ink absorption
- Printing methods
- Digital displays
- Monitor settings
- Lighting conditions
Minor color variation is considered normal within commercial printing standards and is not considered a manufacturing defect.
Customers requiring exact color matching should discuss Pantone or other color specifications before production.
Production Tolerances
Commercial printing includes standard manufacturing tolerances.
Minor variations involving:
- Trim position
- Folding
- Paper grain
- Sheet alignment
- Print registration
are considered acceptable and do not qualify for refunds or replacements unless they exceed normal production standards.
