Common questions

Which payment methods do you accept?

We accept bank wire transfer for most wholesale accounts, with card and digital payment options available for samples and smaller orders. Established accounts can apply for credit terms after a trading history has been established.

What is the usual minimum order quantity?

Minimum order quantity depends on the line. Standard stock items typically start at a single master carton, while custom work, private label artwork and bespoke tooling carry higher thresholds because the setup cost has to be recovered. We publish the figure for each line rather than quoting one blanket number.

Can you supply documentation for our regulator?

Yes. Technical files, certificates of analysis, safety data sheets and batch records are provided with shipments on request. Tell us which national scheme you operate under at the enquiry stage and we will confirm exactly which documents come as standard.
