Four Color Process Decals

Spot Color Decals

Sublimation

Sublimation allows you to print full color imprints on ceramic mugs. The imprints are vibrant and colorful, making them ideal for depicting buildings, nature scenes, anniversaries as well as any colorful picture or logo.
Sublimation allows you to have photo-lab quality and offers great unlimited possibilities.

Sublimation is the method of applying an image to specially coated ceramic mugs using four main ingredients: sublimation ink, sublimation transfer paper, heat and pressure.

Sublimation ink is unique in its ability to convert from a solid to a gas without going through a liquid phase. The conversion is initiated by heat and controlled with pressure. Hard items such as ceramics require a special coating to accept the sublimation inks. Sublimation dyes are transparent in nature and should only be used with white or lightly colored, specially coated ceramic mugs.

The inherent nature of the sublimation process may render slight color variations.

To avoid premature fading of your sublimated imprint, it is recommended that this product be hand washed only.

Packaging

Note:
Due to the variations in the sizes of our glass and ceramic products, we use two sizes of SAFE PACK PROTECTIVE BOXES. To ensure safer delivery for bulk pack shipments via non LTL carriers or individual package carriers, a SAFE PACK PROTECTIVE CARTON will be used.

Each item in the full line catalog is indicated which Safe Protective Box is used (Version 1 or 2)

Palletizing
On all shipments requiring the use of a common carrier, Glass America will usually shrink wrap and palletize the cartons at no additional charge. We reserve the right to charge for palletizing if your order uses a special configuration that requires more pallets than we would normally use. if you request a third party billing for freight, please add $15.00(G) per skid charge. We reserve the right to add $18.75 (G) service and handling charge for all third party shipments.

General Information

1. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Acknowledgments are sent via electronic mail or fax. It will be sent following receipt of your complete order and art instructions, with the express purpose of communicating both receipt of your order and information regarding interpretation of instructions, prices, shipping and design. The ship date for any orders will be established when the order is completely clarified. This information must be examined carefully so that any misunderstanding can be resolved prior to production. Your order will be produced as acknowledged. We reserve the right to correct an obvious clerical error.

2. ARTWORK
To assure prompt processing of your order, submitted artwork must have complete and specific instructions as to layout, size, typestyle and placement. To ensure accuracy, all electronic art should be followed up with a “hard copy” of the art with the purchase order. Our policy is to size all artwork to the artists’ discretion for our products, unless otherwise specified. Listed imprint areas are subject to change. Submitting artwork that is not properly sized will delay the processing of your order, until we have your clarification. If the artwork is not camera-ready and sized, extra art charges, on a time required basis at a rate of $50.00 (G) per hour will be incurred. Providing camera ready art will not reduce screen charges. You will be advised in advance of extra artwork charges, and an approval will be required prior to processing the order. We reserve the right to determine what is camera-ready artwork.

Glass America recognizes the voluntary FDA guidelines limiting decorations within 20 mm of the lip and rim area for certain items when using ceramic based pigments. Please take the 20 mm guidelines into consideration if you wish to have your artwork vertically centered, as this may require a reduction in imprint size.

Informational Art Hints:
A) Just a reminder that if artwork is to be returned after use, please specify this on the purchase order. Place identification on the artwork as to where the artwork should be returned and the method of requested return. The customer shall hold Glass America harmless from any and all loss, cost, expense and damages to submitted artwork.

B) Be advised that due to the shape, radius or taper of some of our products the artwork will be altered in appearance from artwork submitted. (For example brandy snifters, Cafe mugs, and pilsners.)

C)Some of our handled glassware and acrylic products have seams opposite the handle and we do not recommend wraparound imprints.

D) When requesting a direct screen imprint the D.P.I. should be 40 to 53 D.P.I. and camera-ready to size for ceramic imprints and 30 D.P.I. for 22K Gold imprints. Should we need to convert your D.P.I. to conform to acceptable screening standards, we will seek your approval for extra art charges that apply. In the event your art requirements are higher than the screened D.P.I., we recommend the use of a decal that renders 120 D.P.I.

E) Acetates, film positives, screens and other preparatory materials produced by Glass America remain the exclusive property of Glass America.

3. ARTWORK-HANDLED ITEMS
Screen imprinting begins and ends 1" from the handle on both sides. If you require a wraparound imprint, we can get closer to the handle by use of a decal or the sublimation process. All orders for handled items will be imprinted on Side One only, unless otherwise specified.

4. CAMERA-READY ART & SCREEN CHARGES

5. COLORS - NEW COLORS FOR CALIFORNIA DESTINATIONS
California’s Proposition 65 referendum, which was passed by California voters in 1985, requires warning notices on products that contain any one of over 700 substances. This warning includes substances such as nicotine and tobacco smoke, and thousands of products varying from keys to lawn mowers are labeled with California Proposition 65 Warnings. Independent trial attorneys in California make thousands of Proposition 65 allegations every year and profit from the process. Very few Proposition 65 cases are actually brought by the State of California itself. Glass and ceramic decoration is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and no Proposition 65 trial attorney has ever alleged violations of FDA regulation or any harm to any person related to decorated glass or ceramicware. The State of California Attorney General’s office can make Proposition 65 allegations; however, the state was not involved with settlement discussions in 2004 between a group of glass and ceramic retailers and manufactures and a Proposition 65 trial attorney. As a result, there is no uniform California-sanctioned standard related to glass and ceramicware, and glass and ceramic decorators may advise distributors, retailers or others that warnings may be required for glass and ceramicware that will be distributed or sold in California. Until the subject is clarified, we feel it is best to use any of the following three options:

Glass America is introducing three alternative ink processes that do NOT require Proposition 65 warnings.

    a) We have been using zinc based high temperature ceramic ink for all “known” California shipments.
    b) A new low temperature ink has now been developed that tests as durable as our high temperature zinc base
        process. As of the date of printing the 2006 Glass America Catalog, we recommend the low temperature
        process be used instead of the current high temperature zinc based colors (a) Note: The decal process will
        still require zinc based colors on glass products only.
    c) New Sublimation four-color process.

All Three of the above process (a-c) do not require Proposition 65 Warnings.

In all cases, Federal regulations are being complied with and allow us to use our standard base screening colors. We use standard base colors because of their durability and their proven safe reputation on the exterior of drinkware.

California does not recognize the Federal standards and developed their own. Their requirements include warnings, which we believe may be misinterpreted. Glass America disclaims any responsibility for any violations of California Proposition 65 requirements for any product decorated which does not utilize exclusively the materials specified in “A through C” as above.

If any distributor or end user knowingly or unknowingly sells product distributed into the State of California and does not inform Glass America in advance, in writing, prior to production of the order, the distributor or end user will hold Glass America harmless from all liability for alleged Prop 65 violations. It is the distributors’ responsibility to notify Glass America in advance of shipments to California or eventual indirect shipments to California. Any and all costs associated with defending any legal claims due to Proposition 65 will be the responsibility of the distributor and/or end customer, if Glass America has not been given advance notice prior to production of their order(s).

6. COLOR CHANGES
Should you require part of the order to be imprinted in a different ceramic color within a production run using the same screen, there is a color change charge of $16.25 (G). Changing from a ceramic imprint to 22K Gold imprint will incur a new screen charge. Minimum 144 pieces for special pricing per color change. There is no extra charge for using the same imprint, screen and imprint color on different colored mugs of the same style. (Applicable to one color imprints only). Full packing quantities are required for each color change (imprint or item).

7. COLOR MATCHES
Exact PMS color matches are not available. We try to match your color selection as closely as possible using PMS numbers as a reference only. If a special color is desired, such a request must be clearly stated on the order and a swatch of the color to be matched must accompany the order. Special colors may delay your order. Due to the nature of ceramic colors, an exact match cannot be guaranteed.

8. COLORS
For ceramic and glass products we use standard ceramic imprint colors. They are fired on at temperatures of 1050-1100 degrees Fahrenheit, fusing the color for lasting permanence. 22K Gold are not ceramic colors and may wear off with use. We do not recommend the use of precious metals if you require lasting imprint permanence. The color shade or glaze of coffee mugs and ceramics may vary within an order and in particular with red exterior glazes. We cannot guarantee that reorders will be of the same color shade as a previous order or speculative sample. Variances in the color of glazes within an order is an acceptable industry standard. Due to the variances in mug colors, PMS color references are not available. The shades of ceramic inks will vary; depending upon the color of the item selected. Non-fired acrylic inks are used for steel and acrylic products. Close PMS matches may be achieved. We do not recommend the use of light or pastel ceramic inks on darker colored mugs.

9. COMPLAINTS OR DISPUTES
Complaints or disputes must be made within 30 days after the receipt of a shipment, unless a freight carrier is involved. If a freight carrier is involved refer to the paragraph #19 - Freight claims, breakage, and shortages. We reserve the right to inspect items from the actual production run before processing any complaints or disputes.

10. CO-OP ORDERS
Special pricing is available for co-op programs. We base the pricing on the total usage quantity anticipated over the length of the co-op program. Co-op orders must be within the established minimum order quantities of 144 pieces per copy change. Change of copy $30.00 (G) must be in one color only and is limited to 4 lines of straight line copy. Each co-op release or split shipment after the first incurs a $10.00 (G) release or split shipping charge. Details with regard to warehousing, drop shipping, additional color imprints, and additional packaging must have prior written factory approval. We require proper documentation for the co-op program.

11. COPY CHANGES
Add $30.00 (G) per change of copy. The copy change must be in one color only and is limited to 4 lines of type. Copy changes must be at least 72 pieces for regular catalog items and 144 pieces on promotional items. Less than minimum charges will apply to copy changes not meeting the aforementioned minimum quantities (see paragraph 24). For example: 1,000 pc. orders which includes one or more copy changes will not receive full quantity price. Changes to the logo incur new screen charges.

12. CREATIVE WORK
Creative work, such as computer art graphics and multiple renditions of one design, or creating logos and all preparatory work developed and furnished by the producer shall remain our exclusive property, except upon compensation. Creative artwork produced will incur extra art charges of $50.00 (G) per hour.

13. CUSTOM ORDERS
Special orders of custom molds or non-catalog items are subject to an overrun or underrun of 10%.

14. DECALS
Should tight registration require the use of a decal it is an up charge to our normal pricing and requires additional lead times for your order. Decal orders are subject to an overrun or under-run of up to 10%. The minimum order for flat or spot color decals is 144 pieces. The minimum order of four-color process decals is 576 pieces. Less than minimums are not available for decals.

30. QUALITY OF GLASS, CERAMICS & STAINLESS STEEL
The porcelains and stoneware products depicted in our catalog are not deemed acceptable for restaurant use with repeated dish washing in heavy commercial dishwashers. Slight variations and tiny imperfections in glassware and ceramics are not considered flaws. There are almost always slight differences in diameter, height, and other dimensions in glassware and ceramics. Listed ounces and weights will vary. Due to the individual craftsmanship of the hand dipped and lined duo-toned mugs collection; variances do occur in the color portions of the glaze. Variations in materials, firing temperatures, and glazes may result in dissimilarities in glassware and ceramics. These conditions are within acceptable industry standards. Due to the nature of the Stainless Steel items with plastic PVC liners, we do not recommend them as dishwasher safe. The dissimilar materials, stainless steel outside and plastic liner inside may cause expansion and contraction if washed in dishwashers allowing water to become trapped between the walls of the mug. Colored stainless steel mugs are NOT dishwasher safe.

31. QUANTITY SHIPPED VS. QUANTITY ORDERED
Due to the difficulty of manufacturing exact requirements without sacrificing quality, all shipments of 288 pieces or less are subject to 10% over or under the quantity ordered and must be considered fulfillment of the order. Orders for 289 pieces or more are subject to 5% over or under the quantity ordered. Orders requiring no overruns are subject to an underrun of up to 10% and orders requiring no underruns are subject to an overrun of up to 10%. Exact quantity shipments are available for an additional charge of $25.00 (G) Decal orders are subject to an overrun or underrun of up to 10%.

32. REGISTRATION OF MULTIPLE COLOR DESIGNS
Where it becomes necessary to register one color or more next to another, there is the possibility of misregistration amounting to approximately 1/16” to the right or left, depending on the size and shape of the ware being decorated. This tolerance meets industry standards, and is considered acceptable. If we determine that a decal should be used to hold specific tolerances, additional charges will apply.

33. REORDERS
Exact reorders placed within two years of the previous order will incur a $12.50(g) Reorder Charge, per color. Reorders placed after two years will incur normal screen charges of $50.00(g), per color. Due to the variances in production equipment, processing, inks and other conditions between your original order and the reorder, a reasonable variation from the original order to the reorder is considered within acceptable industry standards. If the reorder has a color change or a copy change, we reserve the right to submit a proof for your final approval. Reorders should be submitted on a new purchase order and reference the previous order number and date. If a reorder has been placed numerous times, please reference the most recent order placed. Providing this information will assist us in locating your previous order and enable us to process the order more quickly and ensure we have the correct art for the reorder.

34. RETURNS

These charges are non-refundable. Unless otherwise specified, the spec sample will be sent to the distributor. Delays to spec sample approvals may require a change in your scheduled ship dates. Due to the variances in production equipment, processing, inks and other conditions between proofing (sampling) and the actual production run, a reasonable variation from the production sample to the production run is considered within industry standards.

An “embossed effect” can be attained on most items. It is priced as a two color imprint, plus the additional charge for 22K Gold. We do not recommend the embossed technique when using the decal process.

44. 22K GOLD IMPRINT
22K Gold imprints are an additional charge. Determine the unit price of the item as if all the colors on the requested item were standard ceramic colors. Then add the 22K Gold pricing as an additional charge of the item. Please note that the 22K Gold is for one side only. Any coverage of 22K gold over three (3) square inches-one sided, or five (5) square inches-two sided or wrap will incur additional charges. A second side or wraparound 22K Gold imprint may require an additional add on price. Please specify on your order the type of gold imprint desired. We offer non-metallic gold colors. Simply requesting “gold” may cause your order to be delayed. By requesting "Metallic Gold" you will receive 22K gold at an additional charge of $1.30 (G) Please specify if you desire iridescent gold. For any other request for ceramic gold imprints, please reference a PMS color. Be specific when ordering. NOTE: The thinnest regular line that can be direct screen imprinted with precious metals is 1/64” wide and the thinnest reversed line that can be direct screen imprinted with precious metals is 1/32”. The screen pattern that can be imprinted with precious metals is 30 dots per inch (30 D.P.I.). We do not recommend printing screen patterns with precious metals because of the 30 dots per inch.

46. Etch Areas
Oversized Etch Areas:
All etch areas listed in the Windsor Collection are suggested etch areas. These etch areas have been created to allow us to create the best looking finished product possible. Many guidelines, including (but not limited to) the overall shape of the piece, the items contour and number of cuts or bevels, go into our decisions regarding etch areas. If you wish to etch an area which is larger than our listed etch areas, additional charges may apply. We will advise you in advance if additional charges will apply for all etched artwork that exceeds the listed available etch areas.
Non Traditional Etch Areas:
Most items are pictured in our catalog and on our website showing the traditional deep etch location for the item. The suggested etch area which we publish for all items is based upon measurements taken from these locations. If you wish to etch an area other than the standard etch imprint area, please know that additional charges may apply. You will be notified in advance if the non tradtional etch area you are requesting will incur additional charges.
