The prices on the website exclude VAT.  Which can only be calculated once branding and setup fees and been added to your order.

Branding

It is important to note that a setup fee is NOT an artwork design fee.

The setup fee covers the cost of gathering, collecting, and organising the printing materials, such as the mixing of colours, the preparation of the screens, pads, etching plates, as well as mixing. It also covers the cost of the calibration of the machines required to complete the branding on your selected products.

Yes, if you place a repeat order (same artwork and same item) you will be charged a new set-up fee as we will need to do all the preparation work for your new order over again. Every order requires new pads or screens to be made as these are not kept and need to be redesigned.

Yes, a mock-up of the artwork on the products selected will be emailed to you for your final approval. Our graphic designers will treat your design with the attention it deserves in order to have it look its best on your chosen products – at no extra cost.

A mock-up helps visualise and refine the concept, while pre-production artwork ensures the product is manufactured exactly as intended. Both are vital but serve different roles in the journey from idea to finished product.

The Key Differences:

  Mock-Up Pre-Production Artwork
Purpose Visualisation and concept testing Final production reference
Detail Level Basic design, not production-ready Fully detailed, production-ready
Audience Designers, clients, stakeholders Production and manufacturing teams
Format Physical or digital prototype Technical digital files
Usage Stage Early design phase Final stage before production

We prefer using Vector files as we can manipulate and separate into individual elements for branding. This artwork is also the highest quality and is in the original design format. Vector artwork is created using vector illustration software programs such as Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw. Vector artwork is editable, and the artwork can be changed according to your specifications.

Vector artwork can be used for all of our branding processes.

There are a few formats that will be acceptable, namely:

  • Adobe Illustrator (.ai)
  • Corel Draw (.cdr)
  • Freehand (.fh)
  • EPS
  • PDF

Please note: vector and non-vector artwork, or a combination of the two, can be stored in any of the above formats. In order to check if artwork is vector, zoom into the image. If you see pixelated edges, as illustrated below, it means the artwork is non-vector (vector artwork will remain crisp and clear no matter how much you zoom into the image). Alternatively, click on the artwork and if a blue block appears around it, as illustrated below right, it means that the artwork is non-vector and the elements cannot be separated.

If you send us non-vector artwork for a process that requires vector artwork, our graphic designers will have to re-create the artwork in vector. In order for the designers to do this they need to import the non-vector into illustrator and trace the artwork.

Not all images can be redrawn, if there is any shading or gradients in the artwork it is impossible to achieve.

We are also unable to redraw photographs.

Yes, we are, however they must be of high quality and a minimum of 300dpi.

Colour settings on laptops, PC monitors , mobile phones and printers differ greatly. Colours may vary depending on the monitor or printer being used. The colours you see on the screen are not necessarily the actual Pantone colours of the product or logo. We always use the CMYK or Pantone System to match the colours in your design or logo to ensure you get the real deal.

Yes, the texture, product material and background colour of a product can affect the resulting appearance or colour of a logo. When ordering in large quantities it is best to ask for a branded sample before going ahead with the main order. Please speak to Caspar to arrange this for you.
