STOCK - The minimum order for stock labels is one case. Our printer maintains stock of most of the STOCK labels on this web site and usually can ship orders in 1-3 working days, occasionally they are out of stock and will take longer. The printing of labels, even stock labels, takes some time so if you don't have at least a 3 week supply of your label, please email us at doug@dougcare.com and ask for an expected ship date.
STANDARD - A STANDARD label is not normally in stock. Minimum quantity is 5 cases. Lead-time to ship for STANDARD labels is generally 7 to 12 working days or longer. Occasionally we do have some STANDARD labels in stock and can ship sooner so if you don't have at least a 3-4 week supply of your label, please email us at doug@dougcare.com and ask for an expected ship date.
CUSTOM - Minimum quantity on custom labels is 15 cases. Custom labels allow for changes of the stock format and colors of any label on this web site. Custom labels will require artwork to be created, proof approval, creation of negatives and printing plates and manufacture of labels. Our printer operates in-house art and plate making departments to ensure quality. First time custom label orders generally take 2-3 weeks (longer if artwork approval is slow) while reorders are shipped within 7-10 working days. All CUSTOM label orders are subject to a 10% over/under run. CUSTOM labels will have a $75 per color (4 colors maximum) artwork and plate charge added to the first order. Backside timing marks where required are provided at no additional charge. There is no charge for artwork and plates for an existing CUSTOM label that you send us to duplicate. We use the Pantone® Matching System to match colors, there is no charge for standard custom colors.
