There’s no minimum order quantity for in-house branding at Fancy Inc, giving you maximum flexibility.

Need a pre-production sample? We offer sample branding at reduced rates.

Should you need a pre-production sample, we offer sample branding at reduced rates.

When an order is invoiced, our warehouse team begins processing it by pulling, checking, packing, and shelving the items, reserving stock exclusively for your order. If an unpaid order is canceled or not collected, significant effort is required to restock these items for other clients. The 15% handling fee covers these operational costs. To avoid this fee, we recommend placing orders only after confirming your requirements. Have questions?

BRANDING QUERIES

A setup fee covers the cost of preparing your branding, including creating templates, configuring machines, sourcing materials, and the labor involved in setting up the branding process. This fee applies to each order to ensure precision and quality.

Absolutely! We offer a wide range of branding options, from embroidery to laser engraving, tailored to elevate your brand. Our expert team will guide you to choose the perfect technique for your products. 

Vector artwork, composed of smooth lines and paths, ensures crisp, high-quality branding across all products. This format maintains clarity and precision regardless of size or application. If your artwork isn’t in Vector or Corel Draw format, our in-house design team can redraw it for a fee. 

Even with artwork on file, each order requires machine reconfiguration and setup tailored to the specific item, which takes 45–60 minutes per process (or per color for screen and pad printing). For embroidery, since artwork is already digitized, we charge a reduced fee for labor only. This ensures top-quality branding every time. 

We offer personalisation through:

  • Embroidery
  • Laser Engraving
  • Digital processes (sublimation, heat press, domed stickers, vinyl stickers, digital transfer)
    These methods allow cost-effective customisation without requiring individual screens, plates, or dies, which other processes need, making them less practical for personalisation.

Each product is tested to determine the optimal branding size, ensuring high-quality results. We brand on the flattest, obstruction-free area to avoid issues like seams or borders, which limit space. Curved surfaces are also avoided to prevent distortion. These guidelines maintain our commitment to superior branding quality.

Screen printing requires a light glue spray to secure items, ensuring consistent positioning and accurate multi-colour alignment. For items with linings, only the bottom layer sticks, which can cause misalignment, limiting colour options. Additionally, some materials can’t withstand the heat needed to dry each colour, restricting the number of colours we can apply.

If the logo colour remains the same across different item colours, only one setup fee applies. However, changing the print colour requires reconfiguring the machine, such as cleaning and resetting screens for screen printing, which incurs additional setup costs

Each item requires a unique jig to hold it in place during branding, necessitating machine adjustments for accurate logo placement. Additionally, branding areas vary by item, often requiring different artwork sizes (e.g., separate screens for screen printing). These factors ensure consistent quality but require separate setups.

While we strive for your complete satisfaction, we ensure quality through our collaborative process. Our expert team provides artwork layouts for your approval before branding begins, allowing adjustments until you’re happy. With 18 branding techniques and a focus on precision, we aim to exceed your expectations. 

Branding prices are tailored based on the product, quantity, branding technique (e.g., embroidery, laser engraving), and setup requirements. Setup fees cover machine configuration, templates, and labor, while material and production complexity may also factor in. We provide transparent pricing in your personalized quote. 

To ensure accuracy, we create custom logo previews tailored to each product’s specifications, which requires input from our design team. Instead of automated previews, our Branding Consultants work with you to provide precise artwork layouts for approval before production. This personalized approach guarantees high-quality results

Yes, if you need artwork created or redrawn (e.g., into Vector or Corel Draw format), our in-house design team can craft it for a fee. You’ll own the artwork for future use. If you already have suitable artwork, we can use it directly

Screen displays may vary slightly due to device settings, but we use Pantone references to ensure precise colour matching during branding. Our design team provides artwork proofs to confirm colours and logo details before production, guaranteeing a high-quality result. Questions about colour accuracy? Contact us at [email protected] or 0861 IFANCYINC (432629).

Yes, the product’s material, shape, and branding area can influence how your logo appears. For example, curved surfaces or seams may limit branding size, and certain materials affect colour vibrancy. Our team tests each product to determine optimal branding guidelines and works with you to ensure the best outcome.

ARTWORK

No artwork? No problem! Our in-house design team can create or redraw your logo to meet branding requirements, ensuring a professional result (fees may apply). For the best quality, we recommend submitting print-ready artwork in Vector or Corel Draw format to avoid additional design costs

For consistent and accurate colours, we use Pantone references, which are unique colour codes that ensure your logo looks the same every time. If you don’t have a Pantone reference, our team can create one for you to maintain brand consistency. We highly recommend establishing a Pantone code for your brand.

We prefer artwork in Vector or Corel Draw format for optimal branding quality. These formats ensure sharp, scalable designs. Submitting print-ready files saves time and avoids extra design fees. If your artwork needs adjustments, our design team can help.

Send your artwork directly to your dedicated Sales Executive. If you don’t have one assigned, email it to [email protected] or call 0861 IFANCYINC (432629). Our team will confirm receipt and guide you through the next steps to ensure a smooth branding process.

ORDERS

Fancy Inc does not enforce a minimum order spend, giving you flexibility to order according to your needs. However, for branded orders, setup fees apply, which may increase per-unit costs for smaller quantities. Our team will provide a transparent quote to suit your budget. Contact us at [email protected] or 0861 IFANCYINC (432629) for details.

Since we have no minimum order spend, you can place orders of any size! For branded orders, note that setup fees may make smaller orders less cost-effective per unit. Our Branding Consultants can suggest cost-efficient options to meet your needs. Reach out at [email protected] or 0861 IFANCYINC (432629) to discuss.

Placing an unbranded order is simple! Browse our library of over 9,000 products, select your items, and submit a quote request via our online form, email [email protected], or call 0861 IFANCYINC (432629). Specify that you want unbranded products, and our team will provide a quote and guide you through the process, with a 50% deposit required to proceed.

Once full payment is received and your order is completed, the products are yours. For branded orders, a 50% deposit initiates production, with the balance due before delivery. Unbranded orders follow the same payment terms.

We can brand trademarks provided you have the necessary permissions or ownership rights. Please provide documentation confirming your authorization to use the trademark. Our team will work with you to ensure compliance and quality branding.

Your satisfaction is our priority! If you’re unhappy with your order, contact your Sales Executive immediately at [email protected] or 0861 IFANCYINC (432629). We’ll review your concerns and work to resolve them, though note that branded or custom gift set orders cannot be returned or refunded due to their personalized nature.

For non-branded, non-custom orders, returns or exchanges may be possible depending on the order’s status and condition. Contact your Sales Executive at [email protected] or 0861 IFANCYINC (432629) within 7 days of delivery to discuss eligibility and process. Branded or custom gift set orders are non-returnable due to their personalized nature.

Signing a Confirmation of Order ensures we’ve captured your requirements accurately, including product details, branding specifications, and artwork approval. This step protects both you and Fancy Inc by confirming agreement before production begins, guaranteeing a smooth process.

PAYMENTS

The balance payment for your order is due after artwork approval and before dispatch. Once your artwork is signed off and production is complete, our Sales Admin Team will send you a balance payment request. Payment must clear in our bank account to ensure timely delivery.

Currently, we do not offer payment plans over 12 months. We require a 50% deposit to start processing your order and the remaining balance before dispatch. For large orders, you may discuss payment arrangements with your Sales Executive. 

We primarily accept Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) payments for security and efficiency. Cheques and cash payments are not accepted, but we can accommodate company purchase orders by prior arrangement.

Our banking details will be provided in your invoice, sent by your Sales Executive after your quote is confirmed. For security, we share this information directly with you during the order process. Have questions or need assistance?

DELIVERY

Yes, we can split your order and deliver to multiple locations across South Africa or select African destinations. Our team will coordinate with you to arrange efficient distribution from our warehouses in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein, or Durban.

In addition to nationwide delivery and select African destinations, we offer limited international shipping to certain countries.
