FAQ

## Process questions

<details>

<summary>How long does production take?

</summary>

Production lead time is confirmed with our sales team after sample approval, based on quantity, finish and packaging. Printed packaging is usually the longest lead item, so confirm artwork early.

</details>

<details>

<summary>What can I customize?

</summary>

Color, size, plating and packaging are customizable per order, with OEM/ODM support. Custom CAD work is available for new designs; changes are cheapest at CAD stage, before a mold is made.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Do you provide CAD files and renders?

</summary>

For custom designs, yes. A dimensioned CAD file and render are prepared for review after the brief is accepted, and the render is approved before a casting prototype is made.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I change an order after production starts?

</summary>

Changes are possible before casting. Once casting or plating has started, a change means rework or a new mold, and both are quoted with the extra time before the change is accepted.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Who owns the mold for a custom design?

</summary>

Mold cost is quoted separately for custom designs, and ownership and reuse terms are confirmed in the quotation or contract before the mold is made.
