Yes, 99% of promotional products can have your company logo imprinted on. |
| I have my logo in hard copy. Can I use this? |
Not. To use your logo, it must be in a digital format. Hard copy logos (from the pre-computer-era) must be recreated again in a specialized graphic software program. If this is your case, you must send your hard copy by mail, courier service or fax if applicable. |

No as long as your logo is in the acceptable format. |

No. If you can open and see your logo in your computer, we probably can too. However, you should clearly understand this difference: Above mentioned formats are the ones used in the Graphic Arts Industry.
