Frequently asked questions
Is freight insurance worth it for Gold orders?
For container level orders it is; the premium is small relative to the exposure from loss, theft or water damage.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
What happens if a batch fails inspection?
The agreed procedure normally covers replacement of affected units or credit against the next order, documented before shipment.
How quickly can a repeat order be produced?
For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.

Start with one change, measure it over a quarter, then decide whether it deserves to become policy.
