Frequently asked questions
Is freight insurance worth it for Vibe orders?
For container level orders it is; the premium is small relative to the exposure from loss, theft or water damage.

How quickly can a repeat order be produced?
For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
