How do I protect my design and IP when ordering custom flash?
Protecting your design starts with the contract, not the factory floor. We treat your artwork, mould and specification as your property; the mould we make for your shape is yours, and we do not use it for another customer. If your programme needs it, we can sign an NDA before you share files, and we keep your design files separate from stock work. The practical steps are: an NDA where needed, a written specification that defines the product, mould ownership stated in the order, and a rule that any change to your design goes back to you in writing before it is built.
Steps that actually protect you
NDA before file sharing, so the conversation is covered from the first sketch.
Mould ownership stated in the order — the tool we cut for your shape is your asset, not a shared one.
Design files kept apart from generic work and used only for your batches.
Any design change proposed by us comes back to you in writing; a silent change is a quality risk, not a convenience.

Frequently asked questions
Who owns the mould you make for my shape?
You do. We cut it to your design and do not use it for another customer. The order states this so there is no ambiguity when you reorder or move production.
Will my artwork appear on another customer’s product?
No. Artwork is your property and is used only for your batches. We do not recycle a customer’s print onto another order.
