Proofing: It is mandatory for every Customer Order to be accompanied by a completed Proofing Sheet before production can begin. Once a proof is approved and print production commences, We cannot cancel the order or provide a refund. Hard copy proofs are available upon request, however a charge will apply and may result in a delayed or extended delivery time.

Artwork: Every order has a nominal 1 hour setup/artwork charge included in our price to You. Any order requiring more than 1 hour of set/artwork will incur a further charge per additional hour or part thereof. Artwork may be forwarded by email directly to production@plasticpassport.com.

Production: Production will only start when: (a) all print-ready artwork is uploaded; (b) and You have completed a Proofing Sheet. The production timetable for orders and/or proofs approved after 12.00 noon EST is counted as starting on the next business day. While We make every effort to meet Your nominated delivery date, unforeseen delays in delivery services, breakdown of equipment, illness, inclement weather and other unforeseen occurrences may affect Our ability to meet that deadline. We will not be held liable for any damages, claims, injuries and or losses or for any other reason whatsoever in the purchase of plastic cards, printed, and or unprinted media of any type.

If a special production timetable is required then this must be indicated in advance on the Customer Order and be accepted on the Order Confirmation. (A 20% surcharge may apply in the event a special production timetable is required).

Over & Under-runs: Due to the variability of our standard off-shore printing requirements for large volume orders, we maintain the right to ship 5% over or under the quantity requested on screen printed orders and 10% over and under on offset orders. Our invoice to you will be pro-rated and will be considered as a completed order. If an exact quantity is required, we will comply for a surcharge of 5% of the total order on screen printed jobs and 10% on offset jobs. If You will accept under's but NO over’s We will complete Your order for an additional charge of 3% on both offset and screen printed jobs.

Self Personalisation: If You plan to enhance Your card order by encoding on a magnetic stripe, embossing, typing or writing on a panel, please notify Plastic Passport prior to the start of your job. (We want to ensure the appropriate materials are used).

Ink Matching: We are unable to offer colour guarantees for processes not within our control. We accept no responsibility for colour variations between submitted images and the actual artwork or product they represent.

Reprints: If Your order is a reprint and requires exact colour matching to a previous order, You must supply an actual card as a sample to ensure a satisfactory colour match can be achieved.

Delivery & Shipping: A Delivery timeframe will be confirmed before the start of production. If a rush service is required a 20% surcharge may apply.

As soon as your order is given to the nominated carrier for delivery it is at Your risk. Any claims for lost or damaged property must be made to the carrier directly by the customer.

In any event, Plastic Passport is not liable for any product delivery and for any damage, losses, injuries and claims. Alternative Shipping Labels: We will ship directly to your customer with your shipping labels providing adequate labels are furnished with your order.
