Does it need a mold?
Casting and pressing usually need tooling; laser cutting often does not. We quote any tooling cost before development starts, and agree ownership, storage and future use of tooling in writing.

Frequently asked questions.
Do I need a CAD file?
No. A photo, sketch, 3D file or physical sample all work. More angles and dimensions bring the first sample closer.
What is the MOQ?
200 pieces per style.
How long does a sample take?
Samples: 12 working days after specs are confirmed, counted from the day after the order.
How long does bulk production take?
45 days as standard, counted from the day after order confirmation. Hydraulic-pressed pieces take 30 days and laser-cut pieces 20 days. MIM pieces take 20 days.
Are there sampling or tooling fees?
They depend on the design and process. We quote them before work begins.
Can you modify an existing style?
Yes — size, finish, stones or logo. We confirm any tooling or cost change after reviewing it.
Will my exclusive design be sold to others?
Not if we agree exclusivity. Tell us before development starts and we record it in writing.
