Finish control
Best used when the visible finish matters and needs proper preparation, coating and handling.
Finishing
Reviewed finishing support for signage, architectural panels, fabricated parts and display work where colour, preparation and finish quality matter.
Custom quote service
This is a custom quote service. Price depends on preparation, substrate, colour, finish, handling, quantity and deadline.
Cut-ready files can still use the instant pricing path when the job is only cutting. Once finishing, fabrication, printing, welding, painting or 3D build decisions are involved, reviewed quoting protects the outcome.
Production notes
Best used when the visible finish matters and needs proper preparation, coating and handling.
Sign shops, shopfitters, architects, fabricators and display producers.
Include material, dimensions, quantity, colour reference, gloss level, face visibility and deadline.
Can connect with cutting, routing, fabrication and assembly workflows where required.
Quote checklist
Custom services need more context than a cutting-only file. The goal is to understand the material, process, visible finish, quantity, handling and review requirements before accepting production pricing.
Tell us whether the job is a component, panel, sign part, prototype, assembly, finish sample or repeat production item. The surrounding context changes how the work should be reviewed.
Send CAD, vectors, photos, marked-up sketches or previous job references where available. Clean files reduce interpretation time and help the team identify missing production details.
State the material, grade, thickness, finish, colour and whether we source the material or you supply it. Supplied material should be reviewed before production is accepted.
Tell us which faces are seen, touched, painted, engraved, welded, folded, assembled or packed for presentation. Finish notes prevent the quote from treating a visible part like a rough internal component.
One-off samples, approval pieces, small batches and repeat production runs should be priced differently. Share the current quantity and any likely repeat quantity before production planning.
Share pickup, delivery, deadline and staging needs early. Custom services may need material lead time, drying or curing time, review cycles, packing decisions or production scheduling.
Review path
For this service, the reviewed quote path protects both sides. It lets the team confirm material behaviour, handling, finish expectation and production sequence before giving an accepted production price.
Use instant pricing only where the job is genuinely cutting-only and the drawing is already clean. If the service includes judgement, finishing, setup, handling or customer-supplied material, review is the correct path.
Decision notes
Custom production pages should help the buyer understand what information changes price, timing and production route. The same job can be simple or complicated depending on the file quality, material condition, visible finish, handling and what happens after the first operation.
A file might start as cutting, welding, painting, engraving, folding or 3D printing, but the quote should describe the finished work the customer actually needs.
When a file, supplied material, finish, deadline or end-use detail is unclear, the right response is review first rather than pretending the automatic path has enough context.
A prototype, one-off, approval sample and repeat run can all use the same artwork but require different setup, checking, handling and schedule assumptions.
The best quote requests include the file, material, quantity, visible-face notes, deadline and contact details so the team can reply with fewer back-and-forth questions.
Common questions
No. 2-pack painting depends on substrate, preparation, finish, colour and handling, so it should go through reviewed quoting.
Send dimensions, material, quantity, colour reference, finish level, photos or drawings, and any required deadline.
Custom quote
Use instant pricing for clean cutting-only files, or send custom services through the reviewed quote path.
