How custom quotes work

  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.

Not sure which service?

Tell us about your idea and we'll point you in the right direction.

Shopify forms can't take attachments, so please email reference images, artwork or 3D files to info@layerbylayercreations.com.au with your name after sending.

Custom work questions

Can you make something that isn't listed in your catalogue?

Quite possibly. A large part of what we do comes from the same recurring thought: "We could make that." Tell us what you have in mind through the relevant custom enquiry.

Can I request a specific colour or material?

Yes. Where the material or colour you want isn't listed, you can request it as part of a custom enquiry, including specialty filaments we don't routinely stock. Availability, suitability, additional cost and any impact on production time will be confirmed before the order proceeds.

Can I supply my own artwork or 3D model?

Yes. Depending on the service, suitable files may include artwork, logos, reference images, vector files or 3D models. For 3D printing, preferred formats include STL, 3MF, OBJ and STEP/STP. If additional design or setup work is required, we'll discuss it with you before proceeding.

What happens if my uploaded file is unsuitable?

We'll contact you before production begins. Depending on the problem, we may ask for a replacement or revised file, make minor adjustments where practical, or recommend additional design or file-preparation work. Any additional cost will be discussed with you first.
