Answers

Apparel and Footwear Questions

How quickly can you produce for a launch date?

Digital work runs in 1-2 working days, offset commercial print in 4-5 working days and large quantity orders in 10-12 working days. Add 3-4 working days for express or air, or 15-18 days by sea.

Can you supply several different items as one shipment?

Yes. That is the usual reason buyers in this sector come to us: the box, the label, the insert and the branded giveaway are printed in the same group and consolidated into one consignment on one invoice.

What do you need from us to quote?

The item, the quantity, the size, the material or finish if you have a preference, and the date you need it landed. Artwork can follow later.

Do you supply samples before a bulk run?

Stock samples are free. Custom sample cost is refunded once you confirm the bulk order.
