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 must
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 $30/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
at a later time 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 $70.00 color setup fee.
Q: What
are popular vehicles that other clients often choose to have something imprint
on?
A: This is a tough question
because the purpose very tremendously from customer to customer. Some are using
it as a promotional tool at tradeshows or grand openings, some are using it for
wedding or special event favors, some are using it as a thank you for the
business tool for their existing customers.
For a list of commonly used
vehicle that we imprint on
In many cases, because these promotional
products are given away, most clients select smaller vehicles due to budgetary
constraints. Vehicles in this particular 1:28 to 1:32 Scales seem to be the most
popular size. Please keep in mind that we can only imprint on vehicles that have
adequate surface area to drop a logo, web site, phone number,
etc...
