Q:
Most of the vehicles that you offer come in assorted colors.
Can we specify which colors we want?
A: No, the color assortment has already been predetermined.
We do not offer our customers the option of picking specific
colors out of the existing assortment (i.e., I want only red
color cars).
Q: Can
we place a special order and get a specific color?
A: Sometimes, but a separate production run is required. However,
this possibility opens a whole new can of worms: The typical
production for a custom color is typically 30 master cases.
For most of the vehicles that we offer, this translates into
a minimum of 4320 pieces or more. Since these vehicles are
manufactured overseas, expect 90+ days lead times. Moreover,
many of the licensed vehicles have strict manufacturing specifications
that we need to adhere to.
Q: Can
you imprint on any of your vehicles?
A: No, some vehicles just do not have enough flat surface
area to imprint onto.
Q: Where
is the best location to imprint the logo?
A: Most people think the best/ logical place to imprint the
logo is on the doors of the vehicle. Maybe for a life size
vehicle, but if the purpose is for visibility the hood or
the roof of the vehicle is our number one choice; it will
be more visible from most angles, there usually is more space
and thus the logo and letters can be made larger, and imprinting
on the roof or hood reduces imprinting costs because it's
only one imprint per vehicle instead of two (both doors).
Q: Since
most of your vehicles are color assorted, won't you need to
change ink colors (e.g. a black car should NOT have black
print)?
A: Often one color change is necessary. In most cases, two
different colors is all we need in order to print on all the
different colored vehicles. There is no additional charge
for the first color change; however additional color changes
are $15/color.
Q: Can
we specify a custom Pantone color?
A: Yes, for an additional charge. However, 95% of the time
our stock colors are adequate to meet most consumers needs.
Q: Can
you imprint any logo or trademark?
A:
We can imprint logos and trademarks in which you have permission
from the owner for its use. In some instances, we may ask
for a certificate of registration or a letter from the grantor.
Q: I
can get other custom imprinted products for a lot less money
(i.e. pens, memo pads, T-shirts, calendars) why pay more for
a customized diecast vehicle?
A: Most of the inexpensive give-a-ways are not kept by the
client. They already have pens, memo pads, calendars, etc..
But when it comes to diecast, the perceived value is much
higher. Moreover, a custom imprinted piece ends up on your
client's desk and 9 times out of 10 will remains there. Offer
a different custom diecast vehicle and on the third year,
clients will start collecting them.
Q: Will
I have to pay the set up charge again if a later we run the
same job again?
A: We will save the printing plates for 12 months. In the
event that you decide to run the same job over again there
will only be a $35.00 color set-up fee.
