Athlete Accolades - Frequently Asked Questions
Ordering & Design
Can I see a mock-up before placing my order?
We provide digital mock-ups only after an order has been placed. Once you place your order, our design team will create and send you a mock-up for approval before production.
Do you provide a mock-up before printing/engraving products?
Yes! After we receive your order, our design team will create a digital mock-up and send it for your approval before production. This ensures you're satisfied with the design.
What type of logo format can I upload?
You can upload PNG, JPEG, or PDF files. For the best results, we recommend vector files (AI, EPS, or SVG) or a high-quality PNG.
Is there an easier way to send roster and logo details?
Yes, you can email the details to info@athleteaccolades.com and specify "refer to email" in the order's Additional Information section while placing the order. Our design team will then create a digital mockup and send it to you for approval before production.
How long does it take to receive my mockup after placing an order?
Our design team typically sends the digital mockup within 3 business days of receiving your order. Timelines may be slightly longer during peak sports seasons or during the 4th quarter of the year (holiday season). To check the status of your mockup, please email us at info@athleteaccolades.com.

Can you personalize softballs with a logo and roster?
