Do I need a VAT ID to place an order with SOCASES?
If your business is based in Germany, you do not need to provide a VAT ID. To access our B2B area, simply email us - we´re happy to assist.
If your business is based outside of Germany, we do require a valid VAT ID for any sale.
Can I order single cases or other items that aren´t listed in the Collection Purchase section?
Please reach out to us at contact@socases.de, and we´ll check what´s currently availabel in stock.
Can I order small quantities? What are the minimum order quantities?
In the Collection Purchase section, you can order any quantity of stocked items by phone or email – even just a single piece.
For Custom Creations, we offer relatively low mini-mum order quantities for most products. In certain cases, we can accommodate even smaller quantities for a small-lot surcharge.
Can I mix and match colors, materials, or inlays to meet the minimum order quantity?
The minimum order quantity always applies to one fabric in one selected color. Inlays can sometimes vary within that quantity, depending on the product.
Can I request a sample in advance?
Yes, we're happy to send you samples of our products, fabrics, and branding options for your review. After selection, they must be returned to us using the return label we provide.
Samples of customized standard items in your specific color and with your logo are available upon request and require payment for the unit price and branding costs. Normally, you’ll receive a digital preview showing your logo’s size and placement before production begins.
When working on fully custom models, we’ll provide at least one physical prototype. Only after your final approval will production begin.
I’m unsure about a model or color, or I’d like to evaluate the quality of SOCASES pro-ducts – what should I do?
We’re happy to send samples of our products, fabrics, and branding options for review. These need to be returned after your selection using the provided return label.
We’re also happy to help you plan a fully customized design – whether jewelry cases, ac-cessories, or other solutions – considering your desired shape, size, fabric, color, and inlay.
CUSTOMIZATION
Do you offer custom-made products?
You’ve come to the right place! At SOCASES, customization is at the heart of what we do.
Each product from our standard range can be adapted to your brand identity through your choice of fabric, color, and branding options for your logo.
We're also happy to collaborate on the development of fully unique designs in jewelry cases, accessories, and more – taking your specifications for form, size, fabric, color, and inlay into account.
Can I get custom inlays for my jewelry pieces?
Of course – we can customize inlays to your specifications. Please email us at contact@socases.de.
What branding options are available? How can my logo or design be applied to SOCASES products?
We offer four types of branding: screen printing, blind embossing, embroidery, and engraving (e.g., on zipper pulls).
Please email us at contact@socases.de to discuss your preferred option.
What is screen printing and how much does it cost?
Screen printing involves applying color manually through a mesh stencil. It’s especially popular in metallic tones like gold, silver, or rose gold, but we can also accommodate matte color requests. This method is available on velvet and ribbon.
Costs are €90 per product type per order (up to 200 units). Once we have your logo/design on file, repeat orders benefit from a 20% discount. For printed ribbon, the cost is also €90 per color; each additional color costs €50.
What is blind embossing and how much does it cost?
Blind embossing uses a heated stamp to press your logo or design into the material.
Costs are €90 per product type per order (up to 200 units). Repeat orders receive a 20% discount if we already have your logo/design.
What are the embroidery options and costs?
We can embroider single-color, multi-color, and more complex designs.
A single-color embroidery costs €120 per product type per order (up to 200 units). Repeat orders receive a 20% discount if the logo/design has been created previously.
Why are there branding charges for repeat orders?
The branding options we offer—screen printing and blind embossing—are both applied by hand. For repeat orders, the flat fee per item type and per order is reduced by 20%. The remaining amount covers the manual effort required to prepare and process the materials by hand.
The same applies to embroidery. For repeat orders, the flat fee per item type and order is reduced by 20%. The remaining amount covers the manual effort required to prepare the fabrics and set up the embroidery machine.
What does SOCASES need from me for branding?
Please send us your logo or design in a vector format (e.g., PDF, AI, or EPS). We can assist with minor edits such as removing elements if needed.
I don’t have my logo in the required format. Can you help?
Unfortunately, we don’t offer logo design or format conversion services. We recommend contacting your designer or a graphic design professional.
What happens after I send my logo or design to SOCASES?
We’ll review feasibility based on your chosen branding method and send a preview showing your logo’s size and placement. Once you approve the design, production begins.
