Thermal & Dishwasher Evidence
Only apply thermal-shock, hot-use or dishwasher claims when the exact product and decoration are supported by relevant testing.

09 · Before you inquire
What to know before requesting a quote
Clear inputs create a faster, more accurate project review. These answers explain what is confirmed at each stage.
01 What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ is confirmed for the selected factory SKU, available mold, decoration method, packaging format and quantity. Stock glassware and custom-development routes can have different minimums, so the quote states the applicable MOQ rather than using one generic figure.
02 Can I get a physical sample with my custom logo before a bulk order?
Yes, when the chosen product and decoration route support it. Sample availability, artwork proof, decoration cost, courier cost and timing are confirmed after review. A typical planning target is 7–10 days after the route and artwork are approved, but the quoted schedule controls.
03 How do you reduce breakage risk during sea transport?
The approved pack plan should specify piece separation, dividers or inserts, inner quantity, master-carton construction, dimensions, weight and any agreed transit or drop test. Breakage handling must be written into the commercial terms; a zero-breakage guarantee is not assumed.
04 Are the glasses food-grade and dishwasher safe?
Food-contact and dishwasher claims must be supported for the exact glass, color or decoration, intended use and destination market. Request current SKU-specific reports or declarations; a generic factory certificate is not enough.
05 Which artwork file formats should I provide?
Vector AI, EPS or editable PDF files are preferred for logo work. Include fonts outlined, target colors, placement, maximum print area and a visual reference. A PNG or JPG can help with review but may not be sufficient for production artwork.
06 What should I include to receive an accurate quote?
Provide the product or reference, capacity, estimated quantity, destination, target date, decoration, packaging, required reports and preferred trade terms. Add an artwork or file-share link in the inquiry form when available.
