If you product arrives and leaves in bulk, there are no handling charges assessed.
If each product needs to be individually unpacked and/or repacked than we charge $10.00 plus $ 35 per man hour.
The handling rate is charged per minute.

Special Engineered Materials

There are materials which require pre-treatment and/or post-treatment of the imprint to enable or enhance adhesion. We work closely with many ink supplier and have access to the chemists and engineers who can resolve many difficult applications.

You are encouraged to send in several samples for us to test. Pricing will depend on many factors and subject to the results you are trying to achieve. If its just an adhesion test, then the only charges would relate to freight charges. If actual production prints are required, then that will require a custom quotation and can only be determined when we have the opportunity to test the part.

Glass & Ceramic Products

Although we process many glass and ceramic products by cleaning and when required, flaming to remove any contamination and enhance adhesion, we do not expect the product to be washed in industrial washers, as the amount of ink deposited is very thin due to the process. We have had no issues with hand washing, but high heat or abrasive washers can seriously damage the imprint.
It is recommended that a trial imprint be tested. Glass Branding with Lasers, is recommended for indelible results.
Encountered Problems

Products have arrived in damaged conditions, varied sizes, wrong quantities, contaminated with mold release, fingerprints, hand lotion and gunk. The best solution is to always ship in a few more that you actually need and send in one or more units for us to test inks, adhesion and other factors. Although we do not charge you for most fixtures, the process of making fixtures may in many causes require the destruction of at least one or more units. Miss prints due to any encountered problems with the product submitted are the sole responsibility of the customer.

Production Samples / Virtual Proofs

Pad Printing is a process designed for printing on 3D products with a variety of shapes and materials. We can supply you with a virtual proof at no charge, where the copy is overlayed on an image of your product. That virtual image being 2D will not truly represent what the actual production product will look like. We recommend that you purchase a production sample or short production run to be assured that the end result is to your satisfaction.
Cost of Production samples, limit of 4, is 75% of minimum billing listed for the size of the imprint.
Should you choose not to order an actual production sample, that constitutes your full acceptance that the finished product will be printed to our own standards and capabilities.

Process Sample Requests

Should you require parts branded or imprinted to evaluate the process and quality, our charge for such service is $75.00 Per Hour, plus any plate and die charges.
Artwork and Freight charges are the responsibility of the purchaser.

Cancellation Charges
