There is a once-off charge if a printing plate needs to be manufactured.

There is a standard charge of €60 that reduces to €51 (51-100 rosettes) and €45 (101+ rosettes) for higher volume first orders.

Subsequent orders using this plate will not incur a charge.

No. If we use your artwork and have charged you to produce the block, it will be kept for your orders alone.
