Frequently asked questions
Should Lux 5 be discounted to launch?
A short introductory offer works; repeated hardware discounting damages the perceived value of the range.
Can packaging be adjusted for our market?
Artwork localisation is straightforward; structural changes need larger volumes and a longer lead time.
How quickly can a repeat order be produced?
For established configurations production typically runs two to four weeks, with transit on top depending on the chosen method.
Do you support long term supply agreements?
Yes, rolling agreements with defined review points work better for both sides than rigid annual commitments.
