We have a system in place that captures total costs involved in the production of each type of label. This consists of material cost,
machine setup cost, and labour costs to prepare the label/s for print/engrave
stage. The setup charge covers this cost.
We are using sophisticated software on all our
engraving and printing machines, which can be loaded by direct transfer from
Excel (copy/paste), CAD and DWG files. Direct transfer from orders submitted in these formats ensures a lower setup cost and dramatically reduces the potential for errors.
When creating production files from PDF or handwritten format it is easy for the operator to make mistakes such as interpreting an I as a 1 or a 0 as an O. Direct transfer from appropriate file formats eliminates this.
How much is the setup charge?
$50 excluding GST per applicable order
How can I avoid the setup charge?
Provided label orders are supplied in the correct file type the setup charges can be avoided.
Preferred file formats for submitting labels orders are MS Excel, PDF, CAD or DWG
