These are separate from making time. Custom sheet colors and changes after approval can extend the schedule. Confirm the full plan against your required arrival date.
Your order, from start to finish
Follow the connected route. At each stage, see what you provide, what we prepare and what needs to be confirmed next.
A complete brief
Tile count, body size and layers, engraving and artwork status, Pantone or hex targets, accessories, packaging, one exact quantity per design, destination and target date.
Check the specification and identify missing decisions. Complete briefs receive priority and are quoted within 24 hours.
Your itemized quote
Read the quote line by line: tiles, accessories, standard export packaging, sample fee, freight estimate against your ZIP if you asked for DDP.
Price your planned quantity, with separate lines for accessories, samples and freight. Use the published price book to compare starting budgets.
An approved digital proof
Check the tile dimensions, face inventory, artwork placement and layer colors on the digital proof. Mark changes before approving the sample.
Check your custom artwork and prepare the production specification and placement proof. We do not redraw or vectorize files. For standard classic faces, confirm the selected face inventory instead of supplying custom face artwork.

Your physical reference set
Pay the sample invoice, then receive one complete custom set built to the approved proof. Check engraving, color, weight, edge and rack fit in hand.
Make the set using your selected face process, layer construction and approved files. Photos and a short video go out before courier pickup. USD 500 per set, paid separately, never credited.

The agreed production run
Approve the physical sample and final specification, then pay the 30% production deposit.
Make the tiles using the agreed layer construction and face process, then finish them against the approved sample. Confirm any specification change before proceeding.
Inspected, packed sets
Receive the QC photo set before the cargo leaves the warehouse.
100% inspection against the approved sample, a QC photo set and the agreed packing specification. Standard shrink-wrap export packaging is included; printed boxes have a separate 1,000-piece minimum. Any requested transit test must be confirmed in the quote.

Delivered sets to inspect
Open the cartons within the 7-day landed inspection window and compare against the approved sample. Report transit damage or spec failures with photos.
FOB Shenzhen by default; DDP on request, estimated per ZIP with the quote. Damage or spec failures are reviewed with photo evidence and remade case by case.

Acceptance standard
We inspect the production run against your approved physical sample and send QC photos before shipment. Keep the sample and approved specification for your arrival checks.
Inspect within 7 days of arrival. If you find damage or a specification mismatch, send photos identifying the affected sets and the difference from the approved sample. We review the evidence and arrange remakes case by case; there is no time-based warranty.
Payment follows the same two gates: a 30% deposit before production, 70% balance before shipment, by T/T. The sample invoice is separate and never credited to either.
Honest calendar
File revisions, material availability, fit changes and freight can all affect the schedule. Identify these dependencies before committing to a launch date.
Shipping terms
Your forwarder
The published price basis. For sea freight, delivery is on board the nominated vessel at the named Shenzhen port. Your forwarder handles the main carriage. Air or courier shipments require a suitable agreed term instead of FOB.
Request a delivered quote
Request a delivered quote with your full address and ZIP code. Freight, import charges and final-mile scope must be confirmed for the route and shipment; a website product estimate is not a delivered total.
Choose by arrival date
Compare current freight estimates against packed dimensions, weight and your required arrival date. A split shipment can be evaluated when you need some sets earlier. Transit, customs clearance and final delivery are separate from the factory production schedule.
Before you start · before you approve · before delivery
Yes. Tell us your planned quantity, tile size, layers, face process and artwork status. We can discuss the specification and price before the custom artwork is final. Production-ready artwork is needed before making a custom-face sample; standard classic faces do not require your own face artwork.
Send the quantity per design, tile count and dimensions, layers and colors, face process, artwork status, accessories, packaging and destination. Include your required arrival date if you have one. Mark undecided items clearly so we can identify which decisions affect the quote.
We manufacture from your finished artwork; we do not provide design, tracing, redraw, vectorization or editable tile templates. Your designer can use the published tile dimensions to prepare the artboards. Standard classic faces are available if you do not need custom face artwork.
We can review and sign a reasonable NDA after agreeing its terms. Send the proposed agreement before confidential files. Your artwork is used only for your project; the agreement should not claim exclusive ownership of common manufacturing methods.
Custom tiles start at 50 complete sets per design. Printed boxes have a separate 1,000-piece minimum, so a 50-set tile run does not qualify for 50 printed boxes. Standard export packaging is included. Other accessories have their own minimum quantities; confirm each item in your quote.
The proof records dimensions, tile-face inventory, artwork placement and specified colors. The physical sample lets you check actual color, finish, weight and fit. Keep the approved sample and specification as the reference for production and arrival inspection.
Allow about 15–17 days after sample payment and approval of the required specification, artwork and proof. Courier transit and your review time are separate. Custom sheet colors can add lead time; the quote confirms the schedule for your selected materials.
The tile sample is one complete custom set, USD 500 including courier. Requested accessory samples are separate: one set of four racks and four pushers USD 200, a mat USD 50, and a box or bag USD 200 per design. Each sample fee includes courier, is paid separately and is never credited to production.
We offer one complete custom tile set, not loose-tile samples or sample packs. Approve the physical set before the production run so the color, finish and specification have an agreed reference. Accessory samples are added according to the scope you need to evaluate.
Check the tile inventory, dimensions, face artwork, layer colors, finish and handling. If accessories are included in your sample scope, check rack fit, case capacity and the agreed packing together. Record requested changes before approving production.
Send the affected details and photos, and identify whether this is a design change or a mismatch against the approved specification. We review the work already completed and confirm the correction or revised sample scope, any cost and timing before proceeding. Production waits for physical sample approval.
They can. Made-to-order sheet colors add about 15 days for the sheet and about 10 extra days at the sample stage. Supplier-reference materials need availability and suitability checks. Accessory changes may require a fit check, another sample or a revised packing plan. Confirm the combined schedule for your actual set.
Standard production terms are a 30% deposit before production and the 70% balance before shipment. The sample invoice is separate and is not credited against either payment. Follow the payment instructions on your confirmed invoice.
Current planning estimates are about 20 days for 50 or 100 sets, 25 days for 150 or 200 sets, and 30 days for 300–1,000 sets. Confirm other quantities and the start date on your quote. Sample making, sample transit, your review and bulk delivery are separate stages; these production estimates are not a brief-to-door promise.
Send the required arrival date, destination and quantity needed first. We assess remaining sample work, materials, production and freight before confirming an accelerated or split-shipment plan. A rush date is accepted only in writing; the 14-day trade-show page is a conditional planning scenario, not a standard lead time.
No. Published product prices use FOB Shenzhen and do not represent a delivered total. For a DDP request, send your full delivery address and ZIP code. Confirm freight, import charges and the final-mile delivery scope on the written quote. If you use your own forwarder, agree the handover location and shipping term before booking.
We inspect production against the approved physical sample and provide QC photos before shipment. Check the received sets within the seven-day landed inspection window. Report damage or specification differences with photos identifying the affected sets. Remakes are reviewed case by case; custom production has no time-based warranty period.
Reference your earlier order and approved sample, then confirm the new quantity and any changes to artwork, dimensions, layers, colors, accessories or packaging. We check current materials and specifications before confirming the quote, schedule and whether a new proof or sample is needed.
