Setup and one-time fees

Sampling and some decoration have one-time costs. Repeat orders for the same spec usually avoid repeating those setups.

Brandsamor currently accepts sample and production orders for United States shipping destinations only.

Are there any setup fees?

Some projects have one-time charges for artwork, printing plates or screens, custom box tooling, or extra testing. Library filling of an approved spec may have little or no extra setup beyond the production deposit. All setup lines appear on the quotation.

Is there a production setup fee?

A production deposit may be required before sourcing or scheduling fill. That is not always a separate “setup fee,” but it covers committed materials and line time. Amounts are on the order documents.

Is there a fragrance-development fee?

Custom Fragrance - Samples is USD $249. Further custom development rounds are quoted. Library sampling is USD $99 and is fully redeemable against production.

Is there a formulation fee?

Library formulas do not carry a separate formulation fee beyond sampling. Original custom formulation is priced as custom development, not as a hidden fill surcharge.

Is there a filling setup fee?

Filling cost is primarily in the unit price. Unusual formats, customer-supplied components, or extra compatibility tests can add a handling or setup line.

Is there an artwork fee?

Yes when Brandsamor designs or rebuilds files. Print-ready artwork you supply is reviewed rather than designed from scratch, which is a smaller or zero design fee.

Is there a label setup fee?

Digital or printed labels may include a plate, die or setup charge on first order. Reorders of the same label usually avoid repeating that setup.

Is there a printing plate or screen fee?

Screen printing and some decoration methods have one-time screen or plate charges. They are quoted when you choose that decoration.

Is there a box setup fee?

Custom printed folding cartons or rigid boxes often have a first-order setup or plate charge. Stock or low-quantity box options reduce or avoid that line.

Are there testing fees?

Routine production QC is included. Extra stability, heat, leak or compatibility programs are additional when the project needs them.

Which costs are one-time versus recurring?

Sampling, custom development, artwork, plates/screens and custom tooling are typically first-order. Juice, bottles, fill, labels and freight recur each batch. Library sample fees are redeemable on production rather than lost.

Do I pay these setup fees again when I reorder?

Not for the same approved artwork, screens and formula. New SKUs, new decoration or revised files can trigger new setup. Component price changes still apply on each batch.
