PRINTING FAQ’S

Q: Do I have to pay the artwork/setup/origination fee every time I order?
A: Our Screens & Fixtures last about 5 years. Therefore, there is no additional charge as long as it has been less than 5 years since your last order. In that case we would have to do another setup fee.

Q: If I order 300 of one size fastener, can I break up that total into different colored fasteners?
A: YES you can. Our minimum order is 100 each of a specific item, so you could order 3 different colors of the same size if you wish.

Q: What if I order different WIDTH fasteners? Can one artwork/setup/origination free cover that? And can I use different width fasteners to make up the minimum order requirement?
A: No and Sorry, No. You may use the same artwork for different width fasteners, but because the Screens and Fixtures are based on the width of the product we print on, each width requires a new fee. You can combine like widths to reach the minimum order, again a minimum of 100 per specific item.

Q: Can I get multi-color printing?
A: Multi-color printing is available on large quantity orders.

Q: What is the lead time?
A: Lead times depend on whether you are reordering or if this is your first order? For 1st time orders of SPEEDWRAP® Printed Cable Ties or Cinch Straps there’s a 4-6 week lead time. The lead time for custom printed TAPES is 8 weeks. For reorders, this just depends on our current demand and is usually shipped in 2-3 weeks, or sooner if needed.

Q: Can I get my order faster?
A: If delivery time is critical, please call us before placing your order. If we can expedite an order we always do so. And if we have your artwork from a prior order, expediting is much easier. A minimal expediting fee is required.

Q: How does Speedtech’s printing prices compare to others?
A: Speedtech’s customers tend to be more concerned with the quality of the fastener and the final printed image than the cost per fastener.

If you’ve already decided you want a message printed on a fastener, you’ve also probably decided that you need a good quality printed image, not the cheapest fastener available. The message on that strap might just be your company name or logo, so the last thing you want is a junk fastener or print job that is eventually going to be seen and reflect back on you! But please remember, we are not printing on paper, so fine lines and intricate detailed images do not print well, and are not allowed.

Speedtech has created proprietary methods for custom printed SPEEDWRAP® & VELCRO® Brand fasteners. These superior printing processes yield the highest quality image and improved image longevity, while not compromising the printed hook and loop functionality.

Speedtech is also the ONLY company printing continuous images across the entire surface of VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® tapes!

Comparing our custom printing pricing to other potential vendors may be a case of comparing apples and bananas. If the final quality of both the fastener and the printing are important to you, your company or brand- there’s only one choice – Speedtech.

Q. Do all custom printers of hook & loop use the same process? Are all the final products the same? A: Speedtech employs a proprietary method for custom printed SPEEDWRAP® & VELCRO® Brand fasteners. This superior printing process yields the highest quality image while not compromising the printed hook and loop functionality. You can watch our short video explaining the Speedtech Printing Difference.

As mentioned above, Speedtech is also the ONLY company printing continuous images across the entire surface of VELCRO® Brand ONE-WRAP® tapes.
