Decoration information
We use print facilities in the UK, the EU and the rest of the world dependent on various factors. Ideally items are decorated during the manufacturing process not after.
It is our job to know the different techniques of decoration that are available for the myriad of items we provide you branded.
From our main product line we stand for speed, quality and service. Approved before 17:00 CET, order is printed and sent the next day. This is our standard service at no additional cost. The delivery times throughout Europe are 24-48 hours so from artwork approval the printed goods are delivered to your destination of choice within 2-3 days.
Quality and security are especially important and therefore we also have an extensive quality control process in place, resulting in a very high-quality service with a less than 1% rejection rate. If you still have a complaint, we will solve this promptly. We have more than 15 different printing techniques at our disposal at this facility to fulfil and process all decoration requests. In addition, we have a huge production capacity to meet all demands large or small. Just let us know your requirement and challenge us!
