Promotional Drinkware That Gets Used

500 pieces per design in stock colours; 1,000 if you need a fully matched Pantone, because a custom colour means a dedicated spray or resin run. Distributors often ask whether we can do 250 — we cannot, and we would rather say so than take the order and disappoint you on the price.

Silk screen runs one to three colours — each colour is a separate screen and a separate pass, so a fourth colour is not a small upcharge, it is a different method. For four or more flat colours, gradients or photographic artwork, you want UV digital or heat transfer. Send the artwork at quoting stage and we will tell you which method we would run and what it does to the unit price.

Sometimes, and we will tell you honestly which. Standard production is 30 days after deposit plus freight, so the in-hands date determines everything. Give us that date at enquiry rather than after artwork approval — we work backwards from it and flag the real cut-off. We work with ASI and PPAI member distributors and late artwork is a normal part of this business; what is not survivable is discovering the date only once the sample is signed off.

FDA, LFGB, EU Regulation 1935/2004, Prop 65 and GRS, all from accredited lab STQ, all downloadable from our certifications page. Promotional programmes tend to hit a compliance question late, when someone in the end client’s legal team asks a question nobody anticipated. Having the PDFs already in your hand is worth more than a promise to send them.

Either. We quote EXW Yongkang, FOB Ningbo or Shanghai, or DDP door-to-door if you would rather we handled duty and delivery straight to the end client. DDP is what most distributors choose for one-off event programmes, because it removes the customs conversation from your side entirely.
