Frequently
asked
questions.
From choosing your magazine to getting your artwork ready, here are the details to know before you place your order.
01 /Ordering & artwork
How do I order a custom printed magazine?
Choose your magazine in the shop, select your printing options, and use Print Studio to upload and position your artwork. Review both sides carefully, save your design, and complete checkout.
Can I buy a premade design?
Yes. Choose a premade design and select an available magazine model on its product page. Review the selected variation and price before adding it to your cart.
What kind of artwork should I upload?
Use the highest-resolution original file you have. A high-resolution PNG is ideal, especially when you want a transparent background. Small screenshots, blurry images, and heavily compressed files can produce a lower-quality print. Pay attention to any image-quality warnings in Print Studio.
Can I upload any artwork, and can a design be refused?
Get creative. Photos, illustrations, logos, patterns, humor, and edgy designs are welcome. You must own the artwork or have permission to use it.
We do not accept artwork that includes:
- Child sexual abuse material or sexual exploitation of minors, including illustrated or AI-generated depictions.
- Nonconsensual sexual imagery or other sexual exploitation.
- Credible threats of violence or promotion of terrorism or violent extremism.
- Other illegal content or artwork that violates someone else's rights.
Print My Mags reserves the right to refuse artwork and decline or cancel associated orders at our discretion. Hateful, harassing, excessively graphic, or otherwise unsuitable artwork may also be declined. Submitting a design does not guarantee approval.
Unsure about your design? Contact us at Info@printmymags.com before placing your order.
Can I use different artwork on each side?
Yes. Where offered, select the option for different artwork on each side. You can also choose the same artwork for both sides. Available options and any additional charges appear on the product page. Review Side A and Side B before saving.
Can I use Print Studio on my phone?
Please use a desktop or laptop for the custom Print Studio. Its editing tools are designed for a larger screen so you can place your artwork and review both sides accurately.
Will the finished print look exactly like the preview?
The preview helps you review your layout. Screen settings, the product's base color, surface texture, curves, and recesses can affect how the finished print appears. Check artwork size, placement, spelling, and both sides before submitting.
02 /Products & care
How do I choose the correct magazine model?
Check the exact manufacturer, model, caliber, capacity, and compatibility information in the product listing. Similar-looking magazines are not necessarily interchangeable. Make sure you select the correct model before checkout.
Are items tested before they ship?
Yes. All items are tested before being shipped. Testing takes place before your order leaves Print My Mags.
Can the printed artwork wear over time?
Yes. Printed surfaces can show wear from handling, friction, impacts, and use. Avoid scraping the artwork or applying abrasive cleaners and harsh solvents directly to the printed area. Follow the original manufacturer's care instructions for the product itself.
03 /Shipping & send-ins
Which states do you not ship to?
Print My Mags does not ship to the following states:
- California
- Colorado
- Connecticut
- Delaware
- Hawaii
- Illinois
- Maryland
- Massachusetts
- New Jersey

These shipping restrictions also apply to return shipments for Send-In Service orders. Please check your shipping destination before placing an order or sending in a magazine.
Can I send in my own magazine for printing?
Yes. Choose the Send-In Service and review its instructions before shipping your magazine. Printing compatibility depends on the model, material, coating, condition, and available printable surface. Contact us before ordering if you are unsure whether your magazine is suitable. Send magazines unloaded; do not include ammunition or firearms.
Who pays shipping for a send-in order?
The customer is responsible for shipping to Print My Mags and return shipping. Review the Send-In Service listing and checkout total before completing your order.
How long will my order take?
Please allow an estimated 5–10 business days for production after payment is confirmed and any required print-ready artwork is received.
For Send-In Service orders, this estimate begins after your magazine arrives and payment and artwork requirements are complete.
Shipping transit time is additional and is not included in the production estimate. Transit begins after your completed order ships. Delivery time depends on your location, carrier, and selected shipping service. Send-in orders also include the time needed to ship your magazine to us.
Business days are Monday–Friday, excluding holidays. If you need an order by a specific date, contact us before purchasing.
04 /Final sales & support
Do you accept returns?
No. All sales are final, and we do not accept returns. Review your product selection, magazine compatibility, artwork, and order details before purchasing. All items are tested before being shipped.
What if I selected the wrong model or made an artwork mistake?
You are responsible for reviewing the selected model and submitted artwork, including spelling, image quality, size, and placement. All sales are final. If you notice a mistake after ordering, contact us immediately with your order number. A change may not be possible once production has started.
What should I do if my order arrives damaged or incorrect?
Contact us promptly with your order number, a description of the issue, and clear photos of the item and packaging so we can review what happened. Keep the item and packaging while we review the issue. Do not send anything back without instructions. Contacting us does not authorize a return or guarantee a refund; all sales remain final.
