Our factory will match PMS colors as closely as possible, however, due to different surfaces and methods of imprinting, colors may appear differently and there may be small degrees of variance.

Artwork Bleed

Direct Print Cookies- Centering

Due to machine intolerances, imprints may be off center. Add 60% up-charge per piece to ensure that each item will be perfectly centered .

Artwork With Mainly Dark Colors

We do not recommend artwork with predominantly dark backgrounds. Such logos may bleed due to the concentration of edible water based inks bleeding into lighter areas.
In addition, predominantly dark logos tend to stain teeth and tongue, especially black or dark blue or green colors.

We recommend ordering a sample prior to production to ensure the integrity of the printed product as well as to test edible ink transfer for aesthetic purposes.
Dark background logos can be inverted or lightened. See Artwork Recreation above for more information on our services.

ORDER LEAD TIMES


CAN I MODIFY MY ORDER OR PO AFTER IT IS PLACED?

We do not permit order modifications once orders have been pulled and processed. We do not modify orders once they have been placed. Any type of order modification change may result in a delay to the original scheduled ship date or delivery date. If adding to an order that is already produced but not shipped, a new purchase order is required, and the additional pieces will be produced based on the current production schedule and pricing for that quantity.
If, however, it is still; early in the order process, you can contact us to change or modify your order: we will do our best to help modify an order, but modifications are not guaranteed. We are not responsible for orders that ship as per the original order or PO.

WHY ARE SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES SEPARATE?

Shipping and handling fees are technically separatecosts. Shipping is the price of sending an order through the mail or with another delivery carrier. Handling fees are the costs of the materials, time and labor to prepare an order.
Normally, we quote and subsequently charge a shipping and handling fee together. We calculate freight via our preferred carrier and add our materials and labor fees.
Historically, we have always considered S&H separate from the product.

WHY DO SOME COMPANIES NOT CHARGE HANDLING, AND IN SOME CASES NOT CHARGE SHIPPING EITHER?
Some companies do not charge handling fees because they are already calculated into the case cost. In those circumstances, the companies only sell by the case: where a customer requests to order above or below a case quantity, the company may charge a "broken case fee" or simply not do it at all.
At Lady Fortunes, we encourage our customers to buy the quantities they want, rather than making them buy in cases. That is why we cannot build the cost of the materials and labor into packing because we would either over or undercharge based on unique quantities ordered.

WHAT ABOUT THIRD PARTY SHIPPING WHERE I USE MY OWN ACCOUNT?
In circumstances where our customers request to use their own shipper number (UPS or FedEx) - or ship via freight on pallets, we add the cost of the handling to the invoice. We add those costs to our order confirmation and send it via email. We expect any issues raised prior to shipment as we do not remove these charges unless otherwise agreed upon prior to production.
