Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for Mechelen souvenirs?
From 100 pieces per design for printed magnets, keychains, mugs and textiles. Plush and snow globes start at 200–300 pieces. Designs can be mixed in one order.
Can you make souvenirs of St Rumbold's Cathedral and Tower?
Yes. We draw the illustration or 3D model of St Rumbold's Cathedral and Tower ourselves, you approve the mock-up, and only then production starts. The artwork is yours.
How long does a Mechelen order take?
Printed products 3–6 weeks from approved artwork; plush, resin and snow globes 6–10 weeks. A sample is ready in 7–10 days. Delivery to Belgium inside the EU takes 2–5 working days.
Do you sell to a single shop in Mechelen?
Yes. Most of our orders come from individual shops, museums and attractions, not from chains. The minimums are set so a single location can order its own line.
Can we get exclusivity on a design in Mechelen?
Yes. Designs made for you are not resold to other shops. If you want exclusivity on a whole product type in Mechelen, say so when you request a quote.
