What are Set-up Charges?
Set-up charges pay for the time it takes to prepare the digitizing or screens for production. Set-up charges are different for different applications, i.e. screen printing requires different set-ups than embroidery or ad specialty items. Multiple set-up charges may apply for different items. Usually they are one-time charges and may be reduced or eliminated on re-orders.
Custom imprinting your logo on an item requires printing plates, film, set-up processes for the engraving laser, and embroidery tape charges (just to name a few). These costs are independent of the actual costs of imprinting and are outlined in “Set-up” section of your order confirmation. Although these are one-time costs, for certain items there are re-set charges, which will also be noted separately, in advance.
Custom imprinting your logo on an item requires printing plates, film, setting up the engraving laser or embroidery tape charges (just to name a few). These costs are independent of the actual costs of imprinting and are set-out under the “Set-up” section of your order confirmation. Although these are one-time costs, for certain items there are re-set charges, which will also be noted separately.
Most products require a set-up charge for each imprint color in addition to the actual cost of the item that you are ordering. Although set-up charges are usually one-time charges per product per imprint, repeat orders for some products may also incur reduced set-up charges. There may also be an additional running charge per color per piece on orders with multi-color imprints.
