    How many you need, and the materials or components required, including anything we need to source.

  • Design and file preparation

    Whether your files are ready to use or need preparation, conversion or design work.

How custom quotes work

Quotes depend on the material, size, detail and quantity. The more detail you send, the easier it is to quote accurately.

  • Artwork and files

    Logos, vector files and reference images are all useful. We can help prepare designs if needed.

  • Size and material

    Tell us the finished size and the material you have in mind, or ask us to recommend one.

  • Engraving details

    Include the exact wording, names or dates, and where the engraving should go.

  1. Tell us what you need

    Send your requirements through the form, with as much detail as you can, plus any reference images or files.

  2. We review and quote

    We'll contact you if we need more information. Most custom quotes are provided within approximately 3–5 business days.

  3. Approve and pay

    Designs or proofs are approved before production where applicable. Jobs under A$100 are paid in full; A$100 or more need a 50% deposit.

  4. We make it

    Production starts once everything is confirmed. Many custom orders take approximately 1–3 weeks after approval. We'll let you know when it's ready.

Have a deadline or event date? Include it with your enquiry. We'll always aim to meet it where practical and tell you before the order proceeds if we can't.
