Print approval is required for all projects using a professional print vendor. Any changes required and/or a print approval form will be sent to you via email. Before designing and submitting a printed piece for approval, please review brand guidelines for proper use of Auburn logos and graphic assets.
If have questions, please email brandsupport@auburn.edu.
Please note that apparel and promotional items should be submitted to Trademark & Licensing for approval at https://licensing.auburn.edu/campus-departments/.
As a state agency, Auburn must follow regulations based on the estimated cost of a printing job:
-
Any print project (large or small) must obtain three estimates from three of the 10 print vendors on the preferred print vendor list.
-
In most cases you must award the print job to the printer with the lowest estimate.
-
Any print projects over $5,000 require a purchase order and a vendor disclosure form to be filled out and notarized by the awarded printer.
-
In order for Procurement and Business Services to process payment, you must submit a print approval form from Brand Review, three estimates from preferred vendors, and the printer's invoice/credit card reconciliation before payment can be processed. If the amount is above $5,000 you will also need to submit the completed vendor disclosure form.
Print Program+ eliminates the three-quote process for print projects with common specifications. No quotes are required for these items when using the preferred vendor. If a project is outside of the specifications listed, three quotes will be required and awarded based on the original Print Program (PP) method.
Auburn University stationery items are part of a stationery-specific print contract and do not require an approval form. The self-service ordering portal is available for business cards, letterhead, envelopes and notecards.
