## FAQ

### Can you keep our model patterns on file?

Yes. Once a model's pattern is proven, we keep it. A reorder is a purchase order and a date.

### Glass or polycarbonate?

Tempered glass doesn't haze or scratch the way plastic does, and it wipes clean. That's why accessory brands move to glass on premium lines.

### Can you print our logo?

Yes. Ceramic frit, printed with the DOT legend and fired into the glass.
