*Packaging multiple components at the same time ensures a consistent, complete, and cohesive finish across the items. Coating parts separately, even in the same color or pattern, may result in visible variation(s) due to batch differences. Bundling components avoids additional setup costs compared to individual and can reduce total costs for pattern work.
