The handle is a simple product but has infinite possibilities and variations. For this reason the production is normally made to order and few are the generic items that can be available from stock.
This allows the customer to configure its own product with great freedom; FIMM creates in its ERP system one reference for each item, even with small variations, so having all features carefully coded and always properly accomplished.
The first step is to configure the handle in all details following this guide giving helpful advice and options; use the links to the specific pages for detailed information.

Thread

Colors

pappagalli

The selection of color is necessary for the coating, the cap, the thread. Coating and cap may need to choose 2 or more colors. It is recommended to harmonize the color among them and with the final product.
To specify colors the RAL or PantoneĀ® codes are used, this is however only approximate because the same colorant can produce variable color tones when used in different materials or surfaces.
FIMM has many colors in stock all identified by an internal code that appears in the item description, it is recommended to choose from this list to have faster delivery. If this is not possible, specify the requested colors by RAL or PantoneĀ®, codes or samples; this will need longer times to sample and approve the colors, will also add cost and require higher minimum order.

Packing and labeling
