3. PRINTING INFORMATION
We know how important your logo or advertising message is. The quality of the finished item
depends on how good the original artwork wereceive is, and there are several simple things listed below which can help ensure we provide the quality you expect.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call us at +86 21 34240009 or send an
email to With the extensive presence of Forbes in China PRC, we can control the entire imprint process. We purchase products directly from the manufacturer, which in turn guarantees you the best quality and price. We work together with you to achieve the best reproduction of your logo and we carry out the printing using the most suitable technology.
We have the necessary printing equipment in our partner factories and moreimportantly, we
possess the knowledge required to ensure that your logo iscorrectly utilised and that an excellent finished item is the result.
- Your logo or text
When creating your design it is important to remember that small typefacescan cause proble-
ms when printed on certain products. Particularly productswith a coarser surface structure.
- Colour
Specify the printing colour as clearly as possible by supplying a Pantone colour. Where this is not possible, send your best letterhead or brochure containing your logo, by express courier. The Pantone colour requested by you will be approximated as closely as possible. Printing on darker items or black backgrounds can result in slight colour deviation. On metal items we
approximate the requested PMS colour as closely as possible, however our choice of colour is more limited here.
- Printing proof / approval sample
5 days to 10 days after receiving your order we will send you a printingproof. Please examine this carefully for any printing or style errors, as the final printing process will be initiated after we receive your approvalon this proof.
- Printing and set-up costs
The printing and the set-up price per colour are stated separately with each item. This should be added to the item price to arrive at the actual
price. Set-up costs are incurred for typesetting and setting up the printing machines. These are also charged per colour.
