Origination is the cost of the set-up of either the machinery or films and screens for printing. The price of this can vary based on product and branding method. A repeat origination is a reduced set-up charge if you are having an exact repeat order. Repeat originations are charged to cover the costs of repeating the screen set-up as we are unable to keep these on file owing to the volume we would need to store. 

Some items can be ordered online but where this is not possible you need to contact our sales team.

Please be aware all orders are subject to overs and unders which is explained below.

During the production process there is often a percentage of products that are damaged or rejected. To ensure you do not receive less than the quantity ordered, an additional percentage of stock will be picked when branding commences. We try to limit this to 3% but on certain items it may be as much as 10%.

If you request not to have any overs we will pick the exact quantity ordered and should there be any damages in production you will receive less than originally ordered. Any overs or unders are charged accordingly. This is standard trade practice with guidelines set out by the International Graphic Industry.
