| Many companies desire their products to be customized/imprinted with their logo or message as part of their package. Our Ghirardelli®, Green and Black Organics®, and Lindt® chocolates, as well as our Gevalia® coffees, Jelly Belly® jelly beans, and Incentive Gourmet collections have been specifically created with customization in mind. There are a variety of customization options available, depending upon the specific item. |
| In many cases, we recommend the items not be imprinted (i.e., due to the high-value nature, the desire for the item to remain in a prominent location, general small item cost versus customization cost). Frequently, we recommend a subtle approach to promotion (putting a logo in a small font, in a less obvious position) instead of a large “broadcast” impression. |
| For customization, we accept most electronic art to our e-mail address: info@incentivegourmet.com. Preferred versions are Tiff or EPS files scanned at 300 dpi. Generally, we require “camera-ready” artwork printed out on a high quality printer (minimum 600x600 dpi) in black on white. Do not e-mail any artwork over 750 KB since it may not go through the e-mail system. Business card, letterhead, and e-mail do not reproduce sufficiently to be acceptable. We reserve the right to improve any unacceptable artwork at the client’s expense, after notification of the same. |
Custom Imprinted Poly Satin Ribbon:
Poly Satin ribbons are used on many of the box items and to finish off the larger baskets. This ribbon can reproduce your logo against a wide choice of color backgrounds. We recommend usually doing your logo in gold against a specific color. Our customer service people can assist you in deciding which color combination works for you. Ribbons cost $3.00(v) per item and have a set-up charge of $65, with a minimum of 100 items. You need to know the approximate final quantity prior to placing your ribbon order. Customized ribbon takes approximately 2 weeks to create, in addition to item production time. |
Pressure Sensitive Labels and Decals:
Pressure Sensitive Labels and Decals can be applied directly in many individual items such as boxes, containers or packages. The cost is $.15 each (per color) with a set-up charge of $40 and a minimum quantity of 1,000 pieces. We recommend using a color background color (there are approximately 8 standard colors including gold and silver) with your logo in white, black, gold, or silver. Pressure Sensitive Labels and Decals take approximately 2 weeks to create, in addition to item production time. |
Molding and Embossing:
Molding and embossing is available on certain chocolate products created by Incentive Gourmet including chocolate icons and cookies. These then come in a variety of packaging options many of which can also be customized. Generally there is a one-time set-up/artwork/proof charge of $295. Molds take approximately 3 weeks to create, in addition to item production time. |
Color Imprinted Chocolates:
Color imprinted chocolates are available through Incentive Gourmet chocolate icons. The one-time set-up/artwork/plate/proof charge is $395 and covers 3000 pieces to start. For more than one color add $.03 to the per piece price and add 10% to the $395 charge per additional color. Color imprinting takes approximately 3 weeks to create, in addition to item production time. |
Screen Printing:
Screen printing is done in 1-2 colors directly on certain items or their packaging. There is a $50 set-up and a running charge of $.50 per item, with a general minimum of 100 units. |
