FAQ's
1. Why can't we have sharp corners?
a. Many details in designs may cause the mold to web when formed. Soft smooth designs form better and portray better details.
2. Why the limitations on sizes?
a. Plastic can only be stretched to certain limits over certain area. Stretching beyond the limit can cause puncture holes and thin or weak spots in the plastics. We'll gladly review your design before we comitt you to any charges and let you know of any suggested changes that may need to be made.
3. Who owns the mold.
a. You do. However we will retain ownership of the actual casting. We will not sell or give your design(s) to anyone nor will we use it for our own designs.
4. I have a old mold I want duplicated, but it has a copyright, will you duplicate this item.
a. NO. We will not duplicate any copyrighted or liscensed items to which you do not own the rights to. Any designs we find that we may have inadvertenly duplicated will be immediately destroyed. Should we be asked by the copyright holder or any legal counsel for information on the copyrighted designs we will furnish such with all information we have available. If any submitted design is in question, we may require and copyright / liscense release form be filled out and submitted before any work is preformed by us. Examples of items we will not duplicate: Disney Theme, NASCAR, Oscar, Auto Manufacturers while still in production, Persons / Company Names.
5. Do you ever buy designs submitted.
a. YES if we think a design may be popular or resaleable we may offer to make you this design for free and hold release for a few months. ALSO if you're just looking for a special design and don't want to pay the costs of the design work, we may be interested in the design for our own collection. Feel free to submit us any suggestions.
6. Can I get boxes to match my mold.
a. We can at most times match a popular standard size box to your design. If we cannot locate a box we can have custom boxes made or work with you to make changes to your design that will allow it to fit a standard box.
