Insurer Questions

  • What glass goods are decorated, engraved or altered?
  • Do you hold customer-owned items or only your own stock?
  • What engraving, printing, blasting, laser or finishing equipment is used?
  • Are products sold online, delivered, installed or supplied to trade customers?
  • What are the maximum stock, customer goods and equipment values?

Customer Goods and Fragile Stock

If customers supply items for engraving or decoration, the policy should consider goods in trust and clear values. Fragile stock can also need careful storage, handling and dispatch arrangements.

Equipment and Business Interruption

Engraving machinery, laser equipment and finishing tools can be central to trading. Equipment damage or breakdown can delay orders, so contents and interruption cover should be reviewed together.
