I've utilized Arnett since first starting as an intern back in 2016, now, ten years later -- as I oversee Premium operations at my own venue my respect and admiration has only compounded with time. (P.S. Shoutout the ever so kind Delaney Stewart and her amazing design team).

Over the past couple weeks, i've been working with these guys on a big project and I have to say the customer service has been top-notch. I am a graphic designer under @mrmeltymushy and I worked with Arnett to produce some posters recently. There was a slight mishap with shipping, but I applaud their ability on taking responsibiltiy and resolving the matter very quickly. I almost always get a response within an hour. Prices are fair and reasonable. The product turned out perfect. Don't bother continue searching for another printing press. You've found the one you're looking for.

It was fine except there was mid communication with shipping costs. They were not included in the original quote and we were charged for shipping at a later date, separately. This confused my client who said she does not want to work with to you in the future. I like my rep, she was fast and to the point, but the mid communication about shipping was not good.

Many good things could be said about the product or the price. But what stands out to me was the buying experience. As an event producer, doing business with a vendor who demonstrates care and the ability to execute is critical. Their process made everything easy from start to finish - I had a creative idea for credentials and they made it happen in less than 48 hours. A very special event really benefited from these quality wristbands and I would absolutely recommend these folks for your credentialing needs.

We have used Arnett going on 10 years now and have been pleased with both the final product and the process of working with their staff. Our Festival has relied on them for lams, badges, wristbands and a host of similar products. We have found them very easy to work with and never had an issue with delivery or quality of any kind.
