Can I get reference sample of seal?
Yes, but please make your request more specific since there
are many kinds of seal. Please tell us what kind of seal you
are interested, seal in what material, in what size, way of
production, then we will send you the most relevant reference
seal samples. If you have no idea of what kind of seal you
want, you can browse through our website. If you still cannot
decide on your seal, you are welcome to contact our sales.
Do you sell seal stock?
No, we do not sell label stock since the trademark and logo
on the seal are properties of their respective holder.
How much does the seal cost?
We cannot supply a complete price list of the seal reference
samples showed in our website, since many of the seal were
make some years ago, the cost vary as time go by. And your
seal design probably will not be exactly the same as the reference
sample of our seal. Please send us your design with colour,
size and material requirement of your seal. Then we can quote
the price of the seal for you.
Do you provide design and artwork services for seal?
Yes, we have our seal designer team to serve the need of customer
for label design. The design and artwork for seal are free
of charge.
How should I supply artwork for the seal?
We prefer the artwork of the seal to receive in adobe illustrator
file. Fonts have to be included or converted to paths. Please
send your artwork of seal as an email attachment, if the size
of the file is too big to be sent by email, please supplied
the seal artwork file on CD.
Can I fax my artwork of seal to you?
No, artwork of seal received by fax cannot provide the quality
needed for film making. We need to draw the artwork of seal
again. In this case, the artwork of the seal will not be exactly
the same as your original label design.
Do you provide sample of seal before production?
Yes, we will send you samples of the seal for approval before
bulk production. We definitely will not go ahead with the
bulk production for the seal without your sample approval
for your seal.
Can I go straight to production and skip the process
of sample approval for the seal?
We strongly recommend you to inspect the seal sample before
you pass the order for the seal. It will be very risky if
you do not do it this way. In the sampling process of seal,
mistakes or some technical problems often happen and make
the seal sample come out significantly different from the
design of the seal. We do not accept order without sample
approval of the seal unless the customer signed an agreement
to declare that they will bear all the risk. That is to say,
they will accept the seal and make the payment for the seal
no matter how the bulk production of the seal is like.
Shall I pay the set up charge for the seal?
Yes, there is a set up charge for sampling of seal. But most
of the sampling charge of seal will be refunded when you place
the order for the seal up to a certain amount.
Shall I pay the sample charge if the seal sample is
not satisfactory?
It is a point where disputes often arose in the sampling of
seal. If the seal sample come out does not follow the design
layCtoof the seal which is mutually agreed and signed, then
you should not pay the sample charge of the seal. On the other
hand, if the seal is made as per the design layout and description
but the final outcome does not have the expected effect of
the seal designer. Then the responsibilities are laid on the
seal designer and customer.
Who is paying the postage of mailing the seal sample?
We will send the seal sample to customer by air mail at our
cost. If you need your seal sample urgently and wish to send
it by international courier, then you have to take up the
cost.
Do I need to pay a mould charge or sample charge
when I reorder the seal?
You need not pay a mould charge or sample charge when you
reorder the seal except some very exceptional cases such as
the polyresin seal which require very complicate preparation
procedures.
Can I change the design of my seal?
You change the design of your seal in the design and artwork
process. But you cannot make change of your seal after the
sampling process of the seal is started unless you are willing
to pay the set up once more, and your shipment date of the
seal allow you to do so. You have to inspect the design layout
of your seal very carefully before you sign it and let the
sampling process of the seal start.
How long will I get my seal sample?
Usually you can get the seal sample within 8-12 days after
you confirm the artwork of the seal.
How long does it take to get the seal bulk production?
Usually the production of seal take 10-14 days after approved
the seal sample.
Can you rush my order for the seal?
Yes, we will do it in a very a flexible way in order to satisfy
our seal customer if they are in urgent needs. In some cases
we can produce the seal in 3-4 days. But please do not over
use the urgency service since it will make our production
arrangement in a bad condition.
Can I cancel my order for the seal?
Sorry, once the order for the seal is confirmed, we have to
make all the preparation work for the production of the seal
such as buying the material for the seal, parts of the seal….etc.
If the order for the seal have to be cancelled, even the production
of seal is not yet started the seal buyer has to pay at least
the cost of the material and parts of the seal as per the
amount it is purchased. If the seal is under production, then
the seal buyer has to pay for the amount of seal that is produced
plus the cost of material and parts of the seal that is purchased.
So the seal buyer has to make sure and confirm everything
before he places the order for the seal.
What is the minimum order for the seal?
We accept very small order for the seal as long as it is feasible.
We are willing to meet the requirement of our customer, but
some times we are limited by the other factors such as the
availability of material, minimum quantity needed to start
the machine and the cost of production. Please take note the
price of the seal for the small quantity will inevitably higher.
Can I have the seal of the same design in different
colour combinations?
Yes, we will follow your instruction to make a number of colour
combinations for your choice in the sampling process of your
seal. You can also do the same thing in your bulk production
order of your seal.
Can you make the seal exactly the same as my original
sample?
To be honest, I don’t think any seal maker can reproduce
a seal exactly the same as your original seal sample. We can
make a seal very close to your original seal, it is our expertise,
but nothing can be exactly the same in the reproduction.
Will you keep the artwork and tooling of my seal?
Yes, it is our responsibility to do so. But it is a fact the
tooling of the seal will deteriorate with the passage of time
even though we will try our best to keep it in the most suitable
condition.
Where do you produce my seal?
Our seal factory is located in the Mainland China, while some
of the materials for the seal are imported; all the production
processes of the seal take place in China.
Is the seal wash resistant?
No, most of the logo of the seal are hot stamped or printed
in paper label, so the seal are not prepared for washing.
And the string of the seal is not dyed for washing as well.
If you want the seal to be wash. We have to specially design
and make for you. So you have to state out your wash resistance
requirement for your seal in the very beginning when you make
the enquiry on the seal.
Do you supply seal with security lock or without?
We supply seals of both. The barb of the seal can be plastic
or metal. We have a number of barbs of the seal for your choice.
After the barb is plugged into the body of the seal, the barb
will be broke when it is pulled out from the seal body. The
seal without barb can also be attached to product by the loop
and self-adhesive sponge. The sticker for the seal can be
thick or thin to the fit the requirement of the seal designer.
Please clarify what your need for the attachment devices when
you make the enquiry for your seal, since the cost of the
seal ill be different.
What are your payment terms for seal production?
Our payment term for seal production is payment in advance
for overseas seal customer.
How to make the payment for the seal?
Your can make the payment for sampling charge for your seal
by PAYPAL or wire transfer when the amount of money is small.
For bulk production of the seal, you may make the payment
for the seal by wire transfer in advance or LC at sight.
Does the price of the seal quoted include freight?
Prices quoted for seal are mostly in ex-factory term since
most seal are tailor made; we know the weight and packing
size of the seal only after the sample and goods of the seal
are made.
How much is the shipping cost for the seal?
As we have mentioned above, it is very hard to calculate the
shipping cost if the seal before the seal is made. But once
the sample of the seal is made, we can make a more accurate
estimation for the shipping cost for the seal.
How should I ship the seal?
Normally seal is small and light in weight, it is recommended
to ship the seal goods by couriers who provide door to door
service if the gross weight of the seal is less than 50 kgs.
The cost per kg might be cheaper for shipment by air cargo
or by sea; the problem is there is many additional charge
such as local transportation, document charge and handling
charge which make shipment of small amount of seal goods very
expensive. This is a mistake many seal importers often made
which will kill all their profit. Another suggestion is to
prepay the courier charge to seal maker and let them send
the seal on their own account. The reason is that the rate
of courier charge is normally lower in the Asia zone where
the centre of seal manufacturing located. You can have the
seal maker to quote you the cost before you make the decision.
Do you deliver the seals to a number of locations
on behalf of customer?
Yes, we can provide this service especially when the customer
of the seal is a final buyer. It is because during the delivery
process, our company information will inevitably showed in
some documents. The consignee will know we are the manufacturer
of the seal. In this case, it might be harmful to the interest
of seal trader. If the seal traders do not care about this,
then we are well prepared to provide this service to them.
Can you make seals other than those showed in your
website?
Yes, we are eager to try new seals with new material and technique.
Do you supply environmental friendly seal?
No, we do not supply environmental friendly seal at the moment.
But we are very interested in developing that kind of seal.
Should you have any idea of an environment friendly seal,
please let’s know, and we are eager to test it for you.
Do you work with seal trader?
Yes, actually most of our customers are seal traders; of course,
final buyers of seal are equally welcome.
