Please note: branding/barcodes may appear on parts of the cardboard box. Images are for reference purposes only and there may be slight variances to the product supplied.
DISCLAIMER: Remember, we are printing your artwork or logo onto a pre-manufactured product on an uneven surface in full colour which is an extremely difficult and challenging process. Whilst every care will be taken to give you the best results, there may be some slight imperfections or very slight colour variances. This would be more prominent if printing on brown or manila materials. Also, for best results please avoid large areas of block colour as this can give inconsistent print quality. If you're unsure, we suggest you order a single printed sample which should be used as a guide, as no refunds will be given for personalised products with slight imperfections or colour variances and incorrect sized products. Please note, we cannot guarantee to meet exact specific colour pantones. Finally, we reserve the right to request customers to amend artwork / creative and / or cancel and refund your order if we feel that we cannot guarantee a consistent acceptable level of quality.
As our system uses an ’on demand’ instant digital full colour print system we offer some of the lowest minimum order custom print quantities available in the UK guaranteeing Low Minimum Order Quantities.
Please Note: A one-time low-volume set-up fee of £49.95 will apply to any product value under £100. This fee is automatically applied at checkout. This fee will not apply to re-orders of the same product, provided the artwork is exactly the same as the previous order.
All our products are printed in our own UK warehouse which enables us to be one of the fastest to deliver packaging printing in the UK. More importantly, as we’re based in the UK, (unlike many other companies offering a similar service) we guarantee NO CUSTOMS SURCHARGES.
The simplest way to personalise your packaging supplies would be to use our simple tool. Remember, the better the artwork the better the results. The best file format would be a .png with all white backgrounds removed and at a 300dpi resolution. A .jpg or .jpeg file are both acceptable formats, however the personalisation experience may not be as good. If you're happy with your artwork click on the "Upload & Customise Myself (FREE)" button and follow the simple instructions.
If your logo contains white and you’re printing on a brown or manilla background then the white will not show up. If your logo or artwork contains some white elements you may want to consider a white box. Our systems can not print white on brown or manilla backgrounds as the white will be the same as the background colour which will be either brown, manilla or gold depending on your product.
Please Note: our systems do not print using white ink, if your image contains white then the background of the product will be used to replace the white as you would see in a traditional inkjet or laser printer. We do not offer embossing or a metallic finish in either gold, silver or chrome, we use inkjet technology which allows us to process orders far quicker than most box printers / manufacturers. Any metallic colours will be represented by a high-quality similar colour inkjet image instead.
Please Note: A one-time low-volume set-up fee of £49.95 will apply to any product value under £100. This fee is automatically applied at checkout. This fee will not apply to re-orders of the same product, provided the artwork is exactly the same as the previous order.

Fast Printed Printing FAQ’s
What are your lead times for fast printed products?
We can sometimes deliver locally, the same day, if required subject to availability, but our main options are next day or our standard 3-5 day service. All options are available to choose during checkout. If you require a faster turnaround, you must be available to approve a proof sample as we will not process any order until you are satisfied. Use the tabs to find out more about our delivery schedules and times.
How do you turn around a fast printed order so quickly when other companies are quoting weeks?
Unlike other printing suppliers, we print all orders in-house on our own equipment. We also store high levels of stock of our own premade blank products so everything on our website should be available to print on to straightaway.
Can I provide artwork to print and cover the full outside areas / panels of the box/packaging?
Our service is very unique in as much as we have 1000’s of pre manufactured stock packaging products ready to print your full colour artwork on to with the fastest turnaround in the UK. This does however give us limitations on what and where we can print on to the products. Our systems are designed for full colour images and / or logo’s / text in pre-defined areas of the stock packaging products we have so unfortunately we’re not able to print on the entire outside areas. (Please Note: All available print areas are shown by hovering over the red info ? icon within our artwork upload tool on the specific product page.)
Can I make any amendments once I receive my first sample?
Yes you can. You can make as many amendments as you require until you are 100% satisfied with the product you have ordered, as per our ‘Total Satisfaction Guarantee’.
I’m nervous to order a fast printed product as I may not be happy with the result, how can you reassure me?
We will not process and print your complete order until you have fully approved a full printed sample either by email, video, or a physical finished sample in the post. Please note, if you have ordered a printed sample only, this will be despatched as per your uploaded artwork and proof approval or corrections will be confirmed when you proceed to place a full order. You can make amendments as required until you are totally satisfied with your samples before your order is even put into full production. If you are not happy with the quality of the printed sample, we will refund your order in full without quibble. To ensure you are happy with the quality of the product we will print on, you can order a blank sample for a couple of pence.Why are you cheaper than other suppliers?
We get asked this a lot! This is because we manufacture our own blank stock as well as print in-house so we do not have to pay third parties who also need to make a profit.
How do I supply my logo or artwork?
You can either use our simple online personalisation tool where you can upload your own PNG or JPG file and see exactly how your product will appear. Or you can simply email in to info@fast-printed-packaging.co.uk and let us take care of it for you. Be sure to use/send file formats such as PDF, PNG, JPG, TIFF, BMP, AI, PSD & EPS.
Can you match my exact pantone colour?
We are printing your artwork or logo onto a pre-manufactured product on an uneven surface in full colour which is an extremely difficult and challenging process to complete. Whilst every care will be taken to give you the best results, there may be some slight imperfections or very slight colour variances. This would be more prominent if printing on brown or manila materials. Please note we cannot guarantee to meet exact specific colour pantones and there may be some slight imperfections or colour variances. If you're unsure, we suggest you order a single printed sample which should be used as a guide.
Are your products and the process of making them environmentally friendly?
All base plain cardboard products are also manufactured locally (literally 4 miles from our warehouse) so further reducing our carbon foot print. All printable products are sustainably sourced, recyclable and FSC approved (where applicable).
Our packaging custom / personalisation printing machine / process uses a non-emitting digital water based inkjet process where almost all items are fed in to machine manually so other than the electric to run the machine (which is only whilst printing) it’s an extremely environmentally friendly process.
Which areas can I print on to?
Our service is very unique in as much as we have 1000’s of pre manufactured stock packaging products ready to print your full colour artwork on to with the fastest turnaround in the UK. This does however give us limitations on what and where we can print on to the products. Our systems are designed for full colour images and / or logo’s / text in pre-defined areas of the stock packaging products. (Please Note: All available print areas are shown by hovering over the red info ? icon within our artwork upload tool on the specific product page.)

If the products have been used or the packing has been opened and/or are not in the original condition (this excludes packaging added by us and used to protect the goods during transit), we are unable to issue a full refund and you will be liable for any charges and reasonable administration costs incurred by us.
We do not accept returns for goods/items that have been used unless they are faulty and within the guarantee period. If this is the case, after investigation to confirm the fault, we will either replace the item or return it to the manufacturer for repair. If no fault is found or we believe the item was deliberately damaged after being delivered and signed for, you will be liable for any charges incurred by us including a reasonable administration fee.
If we are unable to accept the item(s) for return (fall outside the 7 working days, the items are not faulty or have been used etc.), you will be responsible for the full cost of returning the items. This includes any collection or dispatch charges incurred by us and reasonable administration fees. Payment of these fees must be made before we can return the item(s) to you. We will retain the items for a maximum of 14 days. If payment is not received within this time period, we will assume the goods are not required and will be disposed of.

Credit/Debit card chargebacks
When you contact your credit card company to report a transaction as unknown or not authorised - this is known as a "chargeback".
We supply the name of the website address to your credit card company. however, the name that will appear on your statement for any credit card transaction made with us may be altered by them to meet their own specifications. It is very important you do not contact your credit card company and report this transaction as unknown to you if the order has been delivered and signed for. If you feel there is a problem with your order you must contact us in writing (letter or email) to resolve the problem. Cancelling the transaction with your credit card company will be considered theft or fraud and your details will be passed to the relevant authority for further investigation. This may result in us making a claim against you, could damage your credit rating and/or affect your ability to buy online in the future.
If a transaction is charged back to you and proof of delivery is available, we reserve the right to either:
A) Re-charge the credit card to used to make the payment for the full amount, plus an additional reasonable administration charge. The administration charge will depend upon the amount of time we need to spend resolving the problem.
or
B) Issue a claim via the appropriate legal service - This may affect your credit rating and leave CCJ's against you. If you request a chargeback after a refund has been issued, you will be liable for a any charges we incur plus a reasonable administration cost. Credit card protection regulations ensure your account is automatically credited when a chargeback is issued. If a refund has already been made, a further chargeback will be considered theft or fraud and appropriate legal action may be taken against you.
Business Accounts
If you are a business customer, then from time to time we may agree to open an account for you, enabling you to pay in arrears. Where you hold an account, then upon or following the dispatch of products, we will send to you an invoice for payment of the price of those products, and you will pay such invoice within 30 days of the date of the invoice. Accounts will be subject to such credit limits as we may notify to you from time to time. If you do not pay any amount properly due to us under or in connection with these terms of sale on time, we may: charge you interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% per year above the base rate of HSBC Bank Plc from time to time (which interest will accrue daily until the date of actual payment, be compounded quarterly, and be payable on demand); or claim interest and statutory compensation from you pursuant to the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998.
Delivery
All "physical" products are dispatched by courier or post, are insured and require a signature. We are unable to issue delivery instructions that do not make allowance for the delivery agent to obtain a valid signature. This includes leaving the parcel at a different address, in a garden shed etc. It is the customers responsibility to ensure someone is available to sign for the consignment at your specified delivery address. If no one is available, the courier will normally leave a calling card, but as we have no control over the courier company this can not be relied upon or guaranteed. If a card is left, please follow any instructions given and contact the depot specified A.S.A.P to re-arrange delivery or collection. Orders can only be delivered to the address specified with the order.
It is the customers responsibility to ensure someone is available to sign for the parcel. We send an email to the address specified with your order when your order is dispatched. You should ensure you can receive emails sent from any of our domain names (these can be found on our website) as we can not accept responsibility for emails that do not arrive or are filtered by your ISP.
If the courier suspects the person signing for the order may not be the correct person or does not meet any other restrictions (such as under age) they may ask for proof of ID. If suitable ID can not be provided the parcel may be returned to us and the customer liable for additional delivery and any reasonable administration charges.
Any delivery date specified by the customer can not form part of the contract. We will always attempt to meet any delivery requirements but all orders are delivered on a best effort basis.
Parcels that can not be delivered or remain uncollected for the holding period specified by the courier (usually 5 working days) will automatically be returned to us. A reasonable administration charge and any costs made to us by the courier will apply to all orders returned due to non delivery or collection. Part of the initial delivery charge is often subsidised by us but redelivery will be charged at full cost.
If your parcel appears to be damaged on delivery, you must refuse it. When you sign for your parcel, you are indicating the parcel was delivered in good order. If you accept the parcel but on further inspection decided the items where damaged you must contact us within a reasonable time period - usually 24 hours after taking delivery.
We insure your parcel against loss or damage while in transit. If we need to report your parcel as missing or damaged, after it has been signed for, the courier company may wish to inspect or investigate the situation before agreeing to provide compensation. We are unable to resend your order until the courier company has concluded their investigation and authorised us to resend the order.
We reserve the right to pass on any additional charges in full made to us by the delivery agent or courier. Reasons for this may include but are not limited to:
• Incorrect address specified at time of order.
• Redelivery to a different address.
• Incorrect shipping option selected at the time of order.

Damaged Goods
All goods are checked before dispatch, but in the unlikely event of any items in your order being damaged, you should notify us within a reasonable time period, usually 24 hours after signing for the goods, giving details of the damaged items. In order to speed up the process of getting the damaged items replaced we may ask you to provide photographic evidence, usually electrically by email, to confirm the damage. If you are unable to provide photographs we will arrange to collect the items from you and have them returned to us for inspection. If you prefer this option, someone must be available at the collection address when the courier arrives and the items must be appropriately packaged. Once the products arrive back to us, we will inspect them to confirm the damage and replace as appropriate. If we conclude the items have been damaged deliberately in order to avoid the cost of returning products ordered in error, you will be liable for any costs incurred by us, a reasonable administration fee and the full cost of returning the products to you.
Missing Items
If you believe that there may be item(s) missing from your order, please contact us within 2 working days of signing for your order and we will investigate. This may involve us speaking to third party companies involved in the supply and delivery of your items and may take a few days to complete.
