FAQS

Do I see a proof before they get made?  We send a digital proof for your review before production is officially scheduled.  If approved, we are rolling, but if you need adjustments, we will get new proofs until you approve.  There is not a hard sample fully completed to review before production resumes.  If you need to see a single sample first, it will 2x the turnaround.  They'd need to do a full labor run for a single item, and if approved, they have to start the process over again.  

Can I do variants? Yes.  Simple variants are no problem or ones with at least 50 per color way.  If you have a lot of variants or tons of colors changing, specialty inks, changes in numbering, etc, please email us for an exact quote.  They'd be priced off of the total combined amount of inks used.  If you had two versions and each had 4 different ink colors, it would be priced for 8 total colors on ink because each is hand mixed.  

Can I do more than 6 colors?  Yes, but on something so small, we'd suggest doing UV printing instead

Do I need to pay upfront for my order?  Do you do 50/50 deposits?  All custom merchandise needs to be paid for in full upfront.  If you want something proofed first, email us and will can walk you through everything and get it proofed first.  We do have options for split payments at checkout that allow you to spread out the payments over time and they don't cost you more to do. 

What happens if my order gets messed up?  We are making hand made products and things can go wrong.  A color mixed up, the plating having small issues, etc.  Any order made wrong or with issues can be either re-made or refunded with the bad product returned.  We never want this to happen, but when it does, we have your back and it won't cost you anything.
