Frequently Asked Questions

We normally quote 5 to 10 working days from date of order approval. This is, however, dependent on quantity, and will be agreed on an order-by-order basis.
The variety of sizes and shapes we can produce is virtually infinitely variable and we can cater for just about anything. The only restriction we have, relates to width. Our engraving equipment restricts us to a width of 610 mm (but we can produce at any length). Shape is not a problem.
The standard materials used by KOTAG (Gravoply, Metallex, Rowmark) come with a large variety of foreground and background colours to suit most applications. Where special requirements are requested, KOTAG will colour the background accordingly (preferably using PANTONE® standards).
Local (South African) orders are either delivered or posted using registered mail. International orders are shipped according to customer requirements and through a variety of postal or courier services.
Local (South African) orders are delivered in the greater Johannesburg region at a minimal charge.
KOTAG guarantees all their products against manufacturing defects. In cases where KOTAG makes an error, the product will be replaced free of charge. Where the error is due to incorrect information supplied the product will be supplied at the originally quoted price. It is therefore standard practice that KOTAG will require customers to sign-off samples and data prior to commencement of manufacture.

Yes. Because we offer a truly flexible service, we often handle specific requirements. If you are providing a sample, please submit this in a Bitmap, JPEG or COREL format. If this is a problem, a clear image and associated description can be scanned or faxed for further discussion. Please note there is a charge for origination and machine set up.

Due to the nature of our products and business, KOTAG has a strict pay before manufacture policy for new or ad hoc customers. However, where customers have constant repeat business with KOTAG, COD and 30-day accounts are in place and can be arranged. For international customers KOTAG will do work, as a rule, only on a pre-payment or ILC basis.
All information that you provide is used for business with KOTAG only. We retain all your order information, including special instructions, to facilitate repeat orders and consistency. Customer information is never passed on to any other party except to the extent that this may be required to complete an order. KOTAG operates on a “business confidential” basis.
