Frequently Asked Questions
|
Can you match colors?
Colors can be matched at our in-house material formulation
lab. However, we have so many standard colors available
that we can typically find a standard color to work in
most customer’s
applications.
What materials do you use to make the grips?
While we use a variety of material formulations, the vinyl grips are made
from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), and the foam grips are made from sponge rubber
blends of NPVC, CPE-EDPM, and EDPM. We also offer sleeves made from FPVC, TPR,
Vinyl, Foam, and Resilience.
Can you print on the grips?
Yes. Our in-house finishing department utilizes silkscreen,
pad printing, heat stamp and decal machines to apply
single or multi-color prints.
Can the grips be washed?
Need parts that are free of mold lubricants? Utilize our
industrial washing process to ensure parts are void of
any external substance.
Does Gripworks have custom molding capabilities?
Yes, please request our video for more information on our
custom capabilities. Also, it is important to note that
we can usually vary the length, wall thickness, and texture
of a product without tooling charges.
How expensive is custom tooling?
Tooling for dip molding typically costs a fraction of injection
molded tooling. Actual costs will vary depending on the
size of the part and the number of molds that we create.
Please consult one of our sales representatives for more
information.
Is there a minimum order for custom projects?
Each custom project is evaluated in regards to its design
complexity, annual volume and part size. Gripworks employs
multi-tasking small batch machines for projects which
cannot be efficiently run on large machines. Please contact
one of our sales representatives for more information.
Can I return products if they do not fit?
It is very important to test samples before placing an
order. All sales of production items are final. Stock
items can be returned in full box quantities, but are
subject to a restocking charge.
Do you have a price list?
The flexibility of the vinyl dip molding and foam extrusion
processes allow for an almost infinite number of products.
Consequently, we do not publish a price list. Please
send us your request and we will be happy to provide
a quote for the items for which you have interest.
Do you have a representative in my area?
Gripworks salespeople are trained employees of our company.
Please contact our office for the salesperson that services
your region.
Do you sell directly or through distributors?
Both.
How can I set up credit with your company?
Gripworks sells on Net 30 Terms with credit approval or
you can pay by credit card; we accept Visa or MasterCard.
Where is your shipping point?
Arnold, Missouri for U.S. shipments, Maidstone, Kent for
European Shipments, Monterrey, Nuevo Leon for Mexican
shipments (unless specified to ship from the U.S.) and
Riverstone, NSW for Australian and Asian orders.
Is there a minimum order amount?
Gripworks has a $50.00 minimum order on standard colors
and stock parts, with a default to full box quantities.
Do I get an order confirmation?
After your order has been submitted you will receive a
fax or e-mail confirmation.
Can I receive a sample of a part that is not stocked?
Samples of non-stock, standard items (different color,
material or length) are made in our sample lab and typically
mailed within one week.
Can I receive free samples?
We encourage our customers to test any grip on their application
to ensure a proper fit. Samples of stock items can generally
be mailed within 24 hours.
How do you mail samples?
Samples are typically sent via 1st class mail. Priority
services are available if you provide your account information.
