We required a non-refundable deposit of $1,500 to start sampling and quoting an existing, or contemplated, individual product sku. The time and materials required to develop the sample/quote will be billed at a negotiated hourly rate plus materials. Any remaining amount of the deposit will be applied to your first order of 50 units or more of the individual product sku.

Price quotes will range from $100 to $300 depending on the complexity of the product. The quote will be specific to an individual product sku. The cost of the quote will be a non-refundable deposit and applied to your first order with us should you decide to proceed to production.

pouches. If you need any bags or cases please contact us and we will

I'm interested in a project, how much lead time do I need?
We request approximately 4 to 6 weeks of lead time for most projects,
however, we can do some projects on an emergency basis. If you have
a project you require immediately, please contact us and we will do
our best to accommodate you.
How do we get started?
The first step in our process of developing a new product is to listen
and understand your needs. We ask that you fill in the project request
form, or contact us directly, providing initial information of what
you want us to produce. We will contact you as soon as possible and
work with you in developing the design sample and estimated price.
What is the next step?
The next step is to develop a design sample. We produce the sample for
two reasons. First, so you can view it for critique. Secondly, so we
can time the production for an accurate price. The price for a single
sample is $250. The cost to have us produce a line of samples starts
at $500. The sample fees cover the time and labor involved in developing
a process that is most cost effective for producing your product.
Do you have minimum quantities on orders?
Our initial minimum order requirement is 50 each
of any item.
Do I need to provide materials for production of my product?
We routinely take responsibility for the entire production process from
initial design, production planning, materials ordering and receiving,
cutting, printing, sewing, to shipping. We can also accommodate situations
where the client would like to provide the raw materials used in the
production process.
What are the payment terms?
For initial orders, we require a 50% deposit of the total Purchase Order
value. Once we receive the deposit we begin production. Final payment
will be due at the time of shipment. For ongoing orders, we will consider
either due upon receipt or 2% 10, Net 30 terms with no money down.
