PRODUCTION, GRAPHIC & DESIGN
How is production approved?
Generally, approval is made on the basis of a detailed layout. In case of special custom-made productions, large quantities and on special customer request, a physical sample can be produced in advance for approval. Optionally, an independent on-site inspection at supplier can also be commissioned.
Do I have to create an artwork?
No. Usually, you only submit the logo file(s) with detailed pantone colors and possible requests on logo position/size when placing the order. We will then provide a detailed artwork for approval. Should you wish to create a layout in advance, we will gladly send you corresponding blank layouts. These can also be downloaded in product area after customer login.
Which requirements must print data meet?
Please provide all texts, vector graphics and logos converted into curves or paths for PC in .ai- .eps or .pdf format. Color details in Pantone. Photos/pictures in 1:1 size in min. 300 dpi resolution. Allover motifs with 3 mm bleeding – unless otherwise stated.
LOGISTICS
How long is delivery time?

- Airfreight: approx. 5 – 7 weeks, most common shipping way/delivery time
- Seafreight: approx. 13 – 16 weeks, usually suited for large quantities
