FAQ'S

What if I am Tax Exempt? Please DO NOT place your order until our site administrator has verified and confirmed your sales tax exemption status for the District of Columbia. If you place your order prior to receiving the confirmation email, you will be charged a non-refundable sales tax. Please follow the below steps:

  1. Create or confirm your existing account. 
  2. Submit a certificate of exemption from the District of Columbia, along with your account name, to orders@cciproductions.io.
  3. Within 1 business day, you will receive an email response confirming your account's tax exemption status.

Please note, an organization that is recognized as tax exempt by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is not automatically recognized tax exempt under the laws of the District of Columbia. In order to establish tax exemption, an organization shall file a Form FR-164 Application for Exemption [PDF] with the Office of Tax and Revenue, Exempt Organizations, PO Box 556, Washington, DC 20044.

Will I get to see a proof before my poster is printed? You can preview your file upload in your cart, prior to checking out. Please be sure to check your file for errors and image quality before checking out.

Will hanging hardware be provided? Yes. Push pins will be provided at the Poster Assistance Desk in the Poster Hall. 

Are your posters eco-friendly? Why yes, they are!

Our paper posters are not only recyclable, but printed with UV inks. Unlike conventional inks, UV inks are 99.5% VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) free, making them more environmentally friendly. 

UV inks are specially formulated to cure when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light instead of oxidation (air). These unique inks dry much faster, resulting in sharper and more vibrant images that are more resistant to scratching and marking. Because they cure instantly, very few harmful VOCs are released into the environment.

What is your return policy? Unfortunately, we can not accept returns on custom printed products. Please read our File Submission Guidelines carefully before uploading your file. Customers are responsible for file contents and missed deadlines due to failure to properly read turnaround time caveats. If an error is caused on our behalf, we will either issue a refund or reprint the poster for you at no additional cost.
