Color Match

We print in most standard colors. Exact PMS color matches are not available. We try to match your color selection as closely as possible using PMS numbers as a reference only. Most colors can normally be matched $35.00(v). If a special color is desired, such a request must be clearly stated on the order and a swatch of the color to be matched must accompany the order.

Less than Minimum Order Quantities

When ordering less than minimum quantities shown on the price schedule, a $40.00(v) per color setup charge is incurred. Normal art and screen charges still apply. Only available on certain items.

Over-run/Under run

Due to the difficulty of manufacturing exact requirements without sacrificing quality, all shipments are subject to a 5% under/over run.

Prices

Registration of Multiple Color Designs

Where it becomes necessary to register one color or more next to another, there is the possibility of misregistration amounting to approximately 1/32" per color, to the right or left, depending on the size and shape of the ware being decorated. This tolerance meets industry standards and is considered acceptable.

Telephone Orders

Reorders

Exact reorders (except quantities) on the same item, within one year of the previous order will not incur additional screen charges, however, there is a reorder charge as shown with each item. Due to the variances in production equipment, processing, inks and other conditions between your original order and the reorder, a reasonable variation from the original order to the reorder is considered within acceptable industry standards.
