- Imprint method, colours and position.

- Ship-to address and shipper name for blind delivery.
- Artwork, or a note that it is coming.

Common questions
- What is the real lead time?
- Production runs 15–25 days depending on decoration and quantity, plus 5–10 days transit by express. Rush options exist for most items — ask before you commit to a date.
- Can I mix colours in one order?
- Yes, above the MOQ. Colour splits may add 2–3 days and a small sorting charge.
- Who pays duty?
- Quoted DDP means we handle it to your door; FOB means your freight forwarder does. Tell us which you are pricing.
- What if the decoration is wrong?
- We send a photo of the first piece before running the batch. If it is our error we redo it; if the artwork was approved as-is, we quote a remake at cost.
