CUSTOMIZE IT

Make your Zippo personal.

A name, a meaningful date, or an original design. Our Taiwan team helps you choose the right lighter, finish and artwork for a piece that is yours.

Choose a lighter → Send your request via LINE → Confirm the quote and payment → Approve the design → Production and shipping. Customization is arranged after confirmation with our team; adding a lighter to your cart does not include personalization.

Share your request through our official LINE account. Our team will confirm the quote and help you place your order.

Your custom Zippo in five steps.

Confirm the details and quote first, then pay, review the proof and approve production.

  1. Choose & share

    Contact us first

    Send the model, quantity, text or artwork, preferred placement, font and delivery requirements. We will check whether the lighter is suitable.

  2. Confirm & pay

    Confirm your quote

    We review the model, process and requirements before quoting. Check the item, customization, accessories and delivery charges, then place and pay for the order as directed before design begins.

  3. Review your proof

    Proof: about 2–3 business days

    A design proof generally takes 2–3 business days and includes three minor revisions. Check wording, capitalization, font, position, size and process, then give clear approval before production.

  4. Made for you

    Production: about 3 business days

    Production normally takes about 3 business days after you approve the proof. The final appearance varies with the lighter’s material, finish and customization method.

  5. Ready to ship

    Delivery arranged with your order

    Once complete, we arrange the agreed delivery. Let us know about gift deadlines or larger quantities when you request a quote.

Allow about 7–10 business days

Business days exclude weekends and public holidays. Timing depends on complexity, revisions, response time and scheduling; delivery is additional. Please discuss gift deadlines with us first.

CUSTOMIZATION: BEFORE YOU ORDER

Confirm the details and quote, review your proof, then approve production. Keep these four stages in mind.

  1. 01

    Before ordering

  2. 02

    Review your proof

    Check spelling, capitalization, dates, font, position, size and process. Give clear approval before we arrange production.

  3. 03

    During production

    Contact us immediately if you need a change or cancellation. Available changes and any charges depend on progress and the terms agreed in advance.

  4. 04

    When it arrives

    Compare the item with the approved proof. For defects, incorrect items or a design mismatch, keep the packaging and photos and contact us.

CUSTOMIZATION Q&A

What should I prepare for a custom order?

Send the model or product link, quantity, exact wording or original artwork, font, position code, preferred size, any accessories and your desired delivery date. We will confirm delivery and contact details when arranging the order.

Can every lighter be customized?

Customization depends on the material, coating, existing design and chosen process. A blank area does not automatically mean it can be customized. Confirm the workable area and expected finish with us before ordering the service.

What does a custom quote include?

Pricing depends on the item, quantity, design complexity, position and process. Check the item price, customization fee, optional accessories and delivery charge before paying. Buying a standard product alone does not include customization.

What is the custom-order process?

Send your requirements → confirm the process and quote → place and pay for the order as directed → review the design proof → approve it for production → dispatch after completion. Payment is followed by proof approval before production.

What artwork should I send?

Send a clear original AI or JPG file rather than a chat screenshot or repeatedly compressed image. For photo or colour printing, approximately 300 dpi at the intended print size is a useful starting point, subject to artwork review. Make sure you have permission to use the supplied content.

How do I choose the font, position and size?

Use the font and position charts in our customization guide. Send the position code and preferred size, for example B5 for the centre of the front lower case. Lettering, symbols and curved surfaces can limit the result; include a sketch for a special position. Check the supported language in the font chart; English-only fonts cannot be applied directly to Chinese text.

What should I check on the proof?

Check the model and quantity, names and dates, spelling and capitalization, punctuation and line breaks, font, position, size and process. Send all requested changes together. When everything is correct, clearly confirm that you approve this proof for production.

How many proof revisions are included?

The current process includes three minor proof revisions. Changing the item, redesigning the artwork, adding an area or changing the process may require a revised quote and schedule. Any additional charge will be explained for your approval first.

How long does customization take?

The overall process generally takes about 7–10 business days for requirements, proof approval and production. Timing varies with complexity, revisions, response time and scheduling; delivery is additional. Tell us about gift deadlines or bulk orders when requesting a quote.

Will the finished item look exactly like the screen proof?

The proof confirms the content and layout. Colour, contrast, texture and line detail depend on the base material, finish, process and screen. Engraving is not necessarily black as shown in a proof. Discuss any specific finish requirements before approving it.

Can I change or cancel after approval?

Contact us immediately so we can check whether the order is in design, approved or already in production. Completed design work or production may incur costs. We will explain the available changes, charges and any refund based on progress and the terms agreed in advance.

Can a custom item be returned?

Items made to your requirements and disclosed before purchase as excluded from Taiwan’s seven-day cancellation right are generally exempt from that right. This does not remove your rights if the item is defective, incorrect or differs from the approved proof. Contact us for assistance.

Taiwan cancellation-right rules ↗

What should I send if there is a problem with my custom item?

Keep the packaging and send the order number, approved proof, full-item photos and close-ups of the issue. Describe the difference so we can compare the item with the approved design. Do not sand, repaint or modify it before assessment.
