Printing trade customs Trade customs have been in general use in the printing industry throughout the United States of America for more than 50years. Especially in our custom printing industry of table cloths, feather flags and banners, some customs are well established.
1. Quotation: a quotation not accepted within thirty days is subjected to review. Materials are quoted based on current costs and are subjected to change.
2. Orders: orders are not deemed accepted until customer credit has been approved. Orders regularly entered, verbal or written, cannot be cancelled except upon terms that will compensate printer against loss.
3. Preparatory work: sketches, art work, composition, plates, negatives, positives, dies, and otherwise agreed in writing. Experimental work performed at customer’s request will be charged for at current rates and may not be used without consent of the printer.
4. Condition of copy: estimates for typesetting are based on the receipt of original copy or manuscript clearly typed, double-spaced on 8 1/2”x11” uncoated stock, one side only. Condition of copy which deviates from this standard is subject to reestimating and pricing review by printer at time of submission of copy, unless otherwise specified in estimate.
5. Alterations: alterations represent work performed in addition to the original specifications. Such additional work shall be charged at current rates and be supported with documentation upon request.
6. Proofs: proofs shall be submitted with original copy. Corrections are to be made on “master set”, returned marked “O.K.” or “O.K. with corrections” and signed by customer. If revised proofs are designed, request must be made when proofs are returned in writing. China Flag Makers takes care the preparatory work of each order, all custom tents artworks have to be approved by customers. Printer regrets any errors that may occur through production undetected, but cannot be held responsible for errors if the work is printed per customer’s O.K. or if changes are communicated verbally.
