From order to delivery: Vinyl Barrel Designs

From order to delivery: Vinyl Barrel Design

A few blogs ago we have already given you a peak behind the scenes of UBG Promotional from placing a request to order. More interesting would be a closer look behind the scenes from the moment the order confirmation is sent, right? Well, today is your lucky day because we are about to zoom in on the part where the magic happens. Here we go!

What are vinyl designs?

When we talk about vinyl designs, we mean the hand-pasted designs that are usually placed in the middle part of our barrels. And exceptionally, you also find hand-pasted designs with a larger print such as these Havana Club barrels (completely dependent on quantity). The prints are made of high-quality, heat and water-resistant, vinyl material. This vinyl is also used for car and window wrapping. Clearly high-quality material!

The process

Before we show you what happens after the order confirmation, let’s have a quick look at the overall request to order process once more.

Request via phone, mail, or Account Manager
Collect/share as much information about the order
Response within 2 working days
Quotation including feasible delivery time and transport costs
Assembling and transport by inhouse distribution department

Now, let us shed some light on the process between steps four and five. You have just received the order confirmation containing the type of product, design, optional accessories, transport costs, and delivery details.

After approval of the artwork, which has been checked by your Account Manager, we notify the printing agency to prepare the printing of the design(s).
After that, an appointment is made to get the pasting started in accordance with the delivery times of the order.
This happens in our warehouse in Breda, so our assembling team can immediately start packing as soon as the barrels are finished. Each barrel is provided with an anti-scratch net that prevents damage to the design and is shipped in a separate box containing the packing slip and security tape.
Depending on the terms and conditions of the delivery warehouse/address we stack the barrels on one-way pallets and seal them with foil.
Our in-house distribution will schedule the delivery appointment if required. It might happen that some delays will occur during the process. In all cases, the Account Manager will contact you about this matter and discuss new delivery dates if needed.
As soon as the order leaves our warehouse a detailed invoice is sent to your finance department.
Finally, when agreed, a POD is sent as soon as the shipment has arrived at the end location.
And of course, we would be very pleased to receive some live-action photo material of our barrels to show on our portfolio page and in the brochure!

We’re the best at what we do!

We are good at what we do. What do I say? We are the BEST at what we do, namely combining different businesses to make a company successful instead of creating our own. We believe there is no need to reinvent the wheel yourself when there are specialists in the market who know exactly what is expected of them or their products/service. This is what we do within Retail, adding existing businesses and products to our portfolio to expand our own business, but this is also the case within Promotional.

This is the reason we work very closely together with a publicity agency specialized in wrapping. They have their own design studio for original and dynamic designs. The department also has full-colour printers for digital printing, and plotters for transferring lettering with the utmost precision. They are at home in many markets in the field of wrapping and signing and a lot is possible. Not only in the field of automotive but also in the packaging of frames, boats, interior (including kitchens), the application of advertising, wall images, and since 2018 also our beloved barrels!

From request to order

A closer look behind the scenes at our promotional department. Not only for new customers we find it important that they know what they can contact us for and what they can expect as soon as the request is sent, but also for our current customers a refresher is always a bonus. So today we dive into the process from request to order.

Your wish is our command

We are the leader in commercial barrels that are used as POSM items in different industries such as the food & beverage industry, power tools & industry products, corporate brands, and the hospitality industry. We have a 100% European production rate, so good quality versus pricing and short communication lines with our suppliers is always guaranteed. No order leaves our warehouse before a sample has been checked by our quality controller. We want you and your customers to be satisfied with our work, so we could build a long-term relationship together!

In addition to our extensive range with barrels in the lead, we also like to think along with you if your needs lay elsewhere. We have a creative team and a great graphic designer in house, and a large network of suppliers and friends of friends. Your wish is our command!

The process from request to order

Request

We work directly with brands as well as through their preferred suppliers and other brand agencies. Requests are communicated to us by phone, central mailbox, or via the Account Manager known to the customer.
Collect information

To make the process run smoothly, it is very useful to us to collect as much information as possible in advance. Think of quantities, product choice, use of the product, budget, desired delivery time and if possible, already send us your design idea. It may happen of course that you are still in the exploratory phase and do not have this information yet. In any case, our Account Managers will discuss this with you.
Response

We aim to give you an initial response within 2 working days. Does the request require a little more thinking and design time? Then we will also inform you about this.
Quotation

As soon as we know exactly where your or your customers’ needs lay, we will send you a suitable quotation in which the request is specified. A feasible delivery time and any additional transport costs are also considered if desired. The proposal also explains the correct design filetype and display
Assembling and distribution

We have an in-house distribution team that takes care of the entire shipment of your order. This way we can switch quickly and directly with our carriers and we can always offer you the best price.
