FAQ
Can I request a quote without formal drawings?
Initial discussion is possible, but formal quotation and production should use dimensioned drawings, samples, or confirmed specifications.
What logo file format is best?
Vector files such as AI, PDF, SVG, or DXF are preferred. Image files may need resolution review or redraw.
Does quantity affect unit price?
Yes. Samples, small batches, and production runs have different cost structures and may use different processes.
