A: No. Typically production for standard plaques takes eight working days after layout approval is signed.
Customers can rush their shipping with expedited freight charges.

A: Gemini guarantees all precision tooled, cast & architectural etched plaques for life. This means that should your plaque fade or contain any defect, we will refinish or replace the defective material at no cost to you, as long as the plaque is installed in its original location. Gemini will not cover your cost of removal, re- installation or any subsequent work done on the mounting surface. Name plates, tags & badges warranty can be found on page 46.
You can find more details about our guarantee on page 56.
