PRODUCTION ALERT: Every effort is made to protect the gloss or matte finish on these matchbooks.  We use only heavy-duty 5-wall corrugated shipping cartons.  Due to the nature of the paperboard, hard impacts in shipping may cause smudging and scratching of the finish.  This is not a defect in the quality of the product and the factory cannot be held responsible for credits and re-makes due to rough handling in transit.

Add 1-time die charge of $225.00 (g).  Raises copy and/or graphics on surface of paperboard for tactile effect.  For best results, apply to copy with thick letters and designs with heavy lines. With thin lines and close registration, please inquire and submit artwork to your distributor for factory approval.
