If printed on different designs through different channels, or if you provide customers with several options to choose from, request the manufacturer gives you multiple ways of packaging. This will match up with a lapel pins of many different colors, and showcase what makes your artwork special!

Once the partner has finished the production, they typically start demanding that you pay them in full. During this stage, request a short video or photo from the manufacturer. This will ensure the quality of the product you receive is up to standard.

Thereafter, ensure with the manufacturer the product’s logistics route and customs clearance.
