Typically 20–30 days after sample approval, depending on extent and finishes. Add 5–7 days for the pre-production sample. Sea freight to Europe or North America adds 25–40 days; air adds 5–10. We map the full timeline in every quote.

Yes. We run a G7 / ISO 12647 color-managed workflow and verify Pantone spot colors with a spectrophotometer on press. For book-and-box sets, every component prints in the same run so covers and packaging match exactly.

Basic file preparation guidance is free — see our print-ready PDF checklist. Full design services are available for cover layout, dielines and set composition; ask in your quote.

Standard: 30% deposit with order, 70% balance before shipment. T/T bank transfer. For established customers we discuss terms case by case.
