Who are these guides written for?
Buyers and product developers who have to specify an item before they can ask for a sensible price. They assume you know your own product, not ours.
Do the guides only apply to Sunqinn products?
No. The material and construction trade-offs described are general to the product types, so they hold whoever you end up buying from.
Can you advise on a specification directly?
Yes. Send the item or the artwork and tell us what it has to do, and we will come back with a recommendation rather than a catalogue page.
Have A Specification Question
Send us the item, the artwork or a photograph and tell us what it has to do. We will give you a straight answer about what will and will not work.
