Detailed description
Three decisions fix the price of this item: the material, the attachment method and the artwork. Change any one and the tooling, the minimum and the lead time all move with it.
Where it is used
Common orders are small runs with several designs on one sheet, mixed sizes for a uniform programme, and repeat orders against artwork held on file. Where artwork is held, the repeat run skips the tooling and drops to piece price.
The material question
The construction is made to artwork, so the material and the attachment method are agreed before tooling rather than described in a catalogue. Send the drawing and the fabric it goes on and the construction follows from those two facts.
How it is quoted
Quotations separate the one-off tooling from the piece price, because they behave differently. Tooling is paid once and kept on file against your artwork; the piece price falls with quantity and with how many designs share one sheet.
What ships with the goods
Each carton is marked with the design reference, size, quantity and lot, and the artwork reference is repeated on the packing list so a mixed shipment can be checked without opening every carton.
Checking it on arrival
Measure the size on the finished piece, not on the artwork. Moulded pieces shrink and embroidered pieces pull in, and a five percent difference is visible on a cap front.
If this is a repeat order, send the previous artwork reference and we will quote against the tooling already on file.
