Faq LoTech's Sales

We want to make the process as easy as possible for you. If you would like, give us a call at 800-285-0199 and one of our friendly sales staff will walk you through step-by-step.

The imprint area is 1/2″ x 1 7/8″

We use a Hot Stamp process. This involves an etched copper die, foil and heat. Utensils are placed in a press one at a time by hand to imprint your logo.

No, having a standard die size will work for any of our utensils.

There is a one-time art set-up fee of $48. This covers the cost of a copper die that we can keep on file for your future orders. There will never be another set-up fee unless you change the information on your die and then, that would require us to purchase another copper die.

Of course, you own the copper die! However, copper is a very soft metal and if it is damaged while shipping, a new die will have to be purchased. Also, keep in mind; we must have the die at our facility each time you want to reorder. So, please plan for the extra days to send us back your die. Most customers just leave their dies on file with us!

No problem! We will create a few different designs that will look great when imprinted. You will have the opportunity to review and change if necessary. We want to make this easy for you and create products that you will be proud to give to your customers!

The easiest way is to email it directly to our art department. The email address is artwork@lotechsales.com they will be in contact with you to send a proof.

We can accept psd, ai, eps, tif, jpeg, or pdf files.

That is fine, just give us a call and we can help you with other options.

We will send a proof within 24 hours. However, most of the time we will have a proof ready the same business day.

Of course, just give us their contact information and we can work directly with them.

Unfortunately, we cannot change the information once the copper die is produced. A new die will have to be purchased.

Yes! We do have a few products that are able to be double printed. They are all of the tongs, deli knife, cake knife, pizza cutter & 12″ serrated knife.

There are only a limited number of colors that are available for Hot Stamping on plastic. However, in most all cases, we can come extremely close to your colors or find a color that is acceptable to you.

With our process, we only offer 1 color imprints. However, we do not charge any extra to change colors within your order.

Our utensils are designed as serving utensils and meant to be left behind or given away to your customers as a useful marketing tool. The foil adheres quite well, but may not withstand high temperatures or high chemical commercial dishwashers. The melting point is approximately 325 degrees.
