Stock or custom: which do you need?

Every piece we print starts one of three ways. The difference is how much of it is yours: none of it, your logo, or the whole design.

	Stock	Your logo	Custom
What it is	Lot Sherpa house designs and unbranded stock items	Our layouts, set up once with your logo and colors	Designed for your store, your building or your vehicle
Examples	Velvet hood bows, Buyers Guides, Fresh Trade and inspection marks, stands and hardware	Used-car flyouts, the ShortCut Pack, model-year triangles, certified marks	Showroom glass, wraps, event sets, banners and signs
Proof	Not needed: it prints just as we show it	A proof before the first print	A proof before anything prints
How you order	Online, in our store	A request, then reorders	A request and a quote
When you pay	At checkout	On a monthly program, usually at the end of the month	A 50% deposit starts it; the balance is due when it’s finished

Stock

Stock pieces carry the Lot Sherpa house design or no branding at all, so they’re ready to print the day you order. A velvet hood bow, for example, is priced in our store and sold in pairs.

Stands, frames and banner hardware are stock too, so a replacement bracket or a spare set of stakes doesn’t need a quote.

Your logo

Your-logo pieces use layouts we already print for stores across the region, like the used-car flyout: the year first, the model beside it, three facts under it. We set them up once with your logo and colors, and every reprint after that matches.

Custom

Custom work is designed for your store, measured if it goes on a building, and proofed before it prints. Showroom glass, wraps, event sets, and banners and signs all start here.

What we need: your logo, the message you want, and measurements or a few photos. AI, EPS and PDF files print best, but send what you have and we’ll take a look. If your logo isn’t print-ready, our designers can redraw it as a vector.

For a group of stores

Any store can order all three. For a group, an account manager sets each piece up once, and the multi-rooftop page shows how it carries across stores.
