Clusters and corridors
Pick the cluster you work in to see the buying conditions that apply to it.
A cluster has its own rhythm. The automotive belt around Setúbal and Palmela orders against production schedules and heavy protective requirements, so the decoration has to survive a workshop. The biotech corridor between Coimbra and Lisboa deals in clean presentation and gift sets for clinical and research staff. The fashion and creative clusters around Lisboa buy small runs for seasonal campaigns and need a supplier who will print 25 pieces.
Quantities in these sectors are usually modest per event and repeat through the year. Standard lead time on decorated apparel runs from 5 to 8 working days after artwork approval, ready stock items move in 1 to 2 weeks, and the minimum for a run is often 25 pieces or more depending on the decoration. Pricing is in EUR excluding 23% VAT.
Delivery is the practical difference between clusters. A programme heading for Porto, Faro or a port facility has a different transport leg from one staying inside the Lisbon metropolitan area, and the date on the packing list has to reflect that leg rather than the production date. Each page records the delivery pattern for its own cluster.
