Frequently Asked Questions

Each individual product has a minimum order quantity for bespoke pieces. This quantity is based on a number of factors including materials, set up costs, quantities, design and labour, each minimum order quantity is 200litres. Some products will be available in bespoke designs as a one off due to their large size where as smaller products may have high minimum quantities.

As we manufacture all of our products in-house, we boast quick turnaround times for all of our bespoke pieces. However, much like the cost, the lead time is dependent on factors such as complexity and quantity. Our lead times range from a one week turn around to up to two weeks for more complex large volume orders.

Whilst we will always do our best to work towards your budget, bespoke items can be more expensive than our standard off the shelf products. The price mostly depends on the quantity, complexity, the materials and labour costs.

If you are looking for a completely bespoke product rather than a customised size or colour of one of our items, we do ask that you provide us with as much information as possible with what it is you are looking for. From this, our research and design team will be able to work with you to develop your product to meet your brand needs.

The stock colours are red, orange, green, yellow, purple, blue, fluorescent pink and fluorescent yellow. We can special order if required.
