Personalised order forms
- On receipt of your drawings we’ll email you to let you know they’ve arrived safely.
- We scan every drawing and record each child’s details on our system.
- From the drawings and names we create a set of personalised parents letters — one per child — each showing their scanned artwork and an order link for parents.
- It takes up to 3 working days from receipt of drawings to create your parents letters, you will be notified by email when they are ready to download from the project within the portal.

Parents order online
- Distribute your personalised parents letters to the parents so they can place orders online.
- Track how many orders have been placed through your online control panel.
- Your shop closes on the closure date you set — then we print all ordered items.
- Orders are dispatched up to 2 weeks after your online shop closes.

Receive & distribute your order
- Your order arrives by courier (APC) to your chosen delivery address and requires a signature.
- Check you’ve received every box — they’re labelled 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 etc. as larger orders are split.
- Check the order against your confirmation on arrival so you know when items have been misplaced.
- All items are labelled with the child’s full name and class (or a code) for easy distribution to parents.
- After your project ends — typically 2–3 weeks after delivery — we email you to confirm bank details, then pay your commission by BACS direct to your account.
