|
| Q: | What is the turnaround time for product delivery? |
| A: | Upon artwork approval, the average turnaround time for Rollabanas® produced overseas is 2-3 weeks via air freight and 4-5 weeks via ocean freight. For U.S. production, the normal turnaround time is 2-3 weeks, but we also have a "premium-level service" that is available for anyone who needs delivery within a week. For the first time ever, Rollabanas® can now be produced for the Super Bowl, World Series, NBA/NHL playoffs, and the NCAA Final Four. |
|
| Q: | What are the overall dimensions of the Rollabana®? |
| A: | The Rollabana® that we produce overseas measures 28 inches long x 9.5 inches wide when fully extended. When the Rollabana® is closed, it measures 2 inches long x 10 inches wide and weighs one ounce. The Rollabana® produced in the United States measures 26.5 inches long x 9 inches wide. |
|
| Q: | What is the difference between the promotional Rollabana® and the retail Rollabana®? |
| A: | The promotional Rollabana® that is typically used for the game day giveaway marketplace is normally packaged as a basic Rollabana® in a poly bag. The retail/licensed Rollabana® is produced with a high density polyester, which enables us to print photo quality pictures and images. The retail packaging is also superior in that the featured Rollabana® includes two suction cups and is enclosed within an awesome header card for display purposes. |
|
| Q: | Why is there such a wide range in pricing between the smaller quantities and larger quantities? |
| A: | Like all printed products, economies of scale kick-in with the higher volume quantities. With the specialized printing process that is required to produce the Rollabana®, this fact is only compounded due to the cost of the metal cylinders that are used on the roto-gravure printing press. As we continue to make significant progress in streamlining manufacturing processes, we are always looking for process improvements that will help us continue to make the Rollabana® a highly affordable and cost-effective product solution for the end user. |
|
| Q: | Why did Max Impact spend so much time, money, and resources to have U.S. production capabilities for the Rollabana® since everything is typically cheaper in China? |
| A: | It's no mystery that the majority of savings between manufacturing products in the U.S. versus China is in the labor costs. However, our business is growing and the demand for the Rollabana® has more than justified the costs of setting up U.S. production to augment our overseas production. It's a win-win for everyone because we're doing what we can to help bolster the American economy by creating jobs and putting the "Made in the USA" stamp on the , which is required for Political Candidates, Unions, and reputable institutions like the University of Notre Dame. On the subject of price, when you factor in the costs of shipping from overseas along with the stress and potential hang-ups that are becoming more frequent with container inspections, the price points on Rollabanas® produced in the U.S. (5000 pieces and up) are very competitive with overseas pricing. |
