Do bottles come with lids?
All bottles are supplied with screw on lids. Unless specified bottles will be shipped with lids off.

Can I mix the lid colours?
YES. Our lids can be mixed across the range of SEQUOIA ENTERPRISES bottles.

Can I mix the bottle colours on the same order?
YES. Bottle colours can be mixed.

Can All colours be printed on Dark blue and Black Bottles?
Yes, however different coloured bottles will affect the final print colour. That means that the darker the bottle colour the duller the ink will become. For example an Orange print on a black bottle will be a dull Brown.

Is four colour process the same price as four spot colours?
NO. Four colour process must be quoted on a job by job basis. No two jobs are the same, and the price can vary considerably. Process prints can only be quoted on when artwork files are supplied as there is no standard pricing for process prints. We are unable to control the colours in 4 colour process, what is in the file that you send us is what will be printed.

How much does it cost to print on the top and bottom of the bottle?
There is no extra charge to print on the top and bottom of the bottle. SEQUOIA ENTERPRISES pricing structure is based on how many colours are in the print not on how many positions are being printed.

What is the minimum order?
Min order quantity is 100 bottles. For 4 or more spot colour prints min order qty is 250 bottles.
For Process prints the minimum order is 500 bottles

What is LDPE/HDPE?
Low Density Polyethylene/High Density Polyethylene.
