Download Product Images

We find the easiest way to retrieve our images from our Image FTP is through free FTP software such as FileZilla (other software options exist.) This allows you to download images in bulk instead of one by one like you would if you were using a browser. Please refer to the how-to below in order to download images quickly and easily through FileZilla.

Naming conventions to locate Apparel and Promotional Products are listed at the end of this document
