Payment Terms and Documents

At a glance
- T/T in USD for production orders
- L/C at sight for qualifying volumes

- All bank details confirmed on the proforma invoice
Overview
Payment terms are a commercial detail, but they also determine when materials are purchased and when a production slot is reserved. We state them in the quotation so there is no ambiguity before artwork work begins.
We document the agreed approach on the dieline or the quotation, not in a separate note.
Accepted Methods
Telegraphic transfer in USD is standard for production orders; L/C at sight is supported for larger programmes. PayPal or card payment is available for samples and small first orders, with fees declared up front.
- T/T in USD for production orders
- L/C at sight for qualifying volumes
- PayPal or card for samples and small orders
- All bank details confirmed on the proforma invoice
If your brief differs, tell us the constraint and we will propose the closest workable build.
Deposit and Balance
A deposit reserves board and a production slot; the balance is settled after the final inspection and pre-dispatch photo pack are shared. The exact split is written into the proforma invoice and does not change mid-order.
- Deposit stated on the proforma invoice
- Balance after inspection approval
- No mid-order term changes
- Sample fees credited against production
A short technical call usually resolves this faster than a long email thread.
Documents Released
A standard pack includes commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and any agreed inspection or test reports. Where a third party inspects the lot, we can hold dispatch until the report is issued.
- Commercial invoice and packing list
- Certificate of origin in the required format
- Inspection and test reports where agreed
- Bill of lading or AWB handover to your forwarder
A short technical call usually resolves this faster than a long email thread.
