General Policy

Given the nature of bulk food-contact tableware manufacturing, Foliware does not accept returns for change of mind, ordering error, or volume over-estimation. All orders should be placed on the basis of confirmed procurement requirements.

Foliware is a B2B bulk manufacturer. Minimum order is one master carton. This policy governs commercial supply relationships only — not consumer purchases. We do not supply to end consumers.

Custom mould orders are non-returnable and non-refundable once production has commenced. This applies to all orders placed against buyer-specified custom sizes, shapes, or non-standard configurations.

Tooling costs paid by the Buyer are non-refundable under all circumstances once mould development has commenced, regardless of the outcome of the production run.
