A trading Company Has purchased Moulds to print Logos of their trade mark. Mould costed them one lakh and printing cost is between 5-8k for each print. I have advised them to capitalise the moulds and put the printing cost into the cost of sales. Please comment was this a correct advice ?

You are correct for the capitalize of printing mould.
But, Logo printing is not in sale. It's their advertising purpose. So, it's not add in sale cost. It's only their expenditure....

Okay first they have paid advance to the party for printing for Rs 70k and they want to amortise the expense through cost of sales. As they think, this is paid for the particular product , as it contain product info and company name and want to increase the inventory. I think you are right , it should go into advt but, i need a clear treatment. so i should be able to tell then what is wrong in their thinking can you explain please?
