Ordering Process & Vendors

Promo/Apparel Items

Promotional items can be anything from a T-shirt or pen to any other giveaway, whether or not it includes UAB marks. All UAB departments, registered student organizations (as defined by Student Affairs), club sports teams, and residence hall organizations using the names, marks, logos, and/or symbols of UAB for any merchandise, apparel, and promotional items, whether for fund-raising or publicity, are required to purchase from licensed vendors.

Step 1: Select an Approved Vendor

Any product or item that uses a UAB mark must be produced by a licensed vendor. All items must be sourced from the University Purchasing-approved suppliers listed here. Vendors MUST meet both the licensing and University Purchasing approvals.

Step 2: Design & Art Production

An art proof from the vendor or the design file must be submitted to University Relations via the Marketing Approval Form before an order can be placed.

• Art Sheet
• Brand Guidelines

Step 3: Submit Approval Form

Complete the Marketing Approval Form in full. You will be required to upload a PDF of your design.

Stationery & Business Cards

To grow UAB's brand awareness and ensure consistency, UAB Printing Services produces all UAB stationery and business cards from approved templates designed by University Relations. Using an outside vendor to re-produce UAB stationery is unauthorized and could result in trademark infringements and/or declined payment from University Purchasing.
