Bespoke manufacturing is designing and creating a customised product on request. Here, at Key Production, our bespoke manufacturing service can provide you with guidance on a wide range of materials.
There are many things to consider when manufacturing bespoke creations and the success of any project depends on thorough planning.
We will always do our best to work towards your budget, custom products can be considerably more expensive than more standard available products. The price will depend on the quantity, design complexity, the materials, the machine and tooling costs.
What is the minimum order quantity for bespoke products?
Each individual product type has a minimum order quantity for bespoke pieces. This quantity is based on a variety of factors including materials, set up costs, quantities, design and labour, meaning each minimum order quantity (MOQ) is unique. Your MOQ will be confirmed at the time of enquiry.
Points to consider for your bespoke creation
Much like the cost, the lead time is dependent on factors such as design complexity and quantity. There are many stages involved when creating a bespoke product and so it will generally take longer.
Design of bespoke creations require important research, development and prototyping to ensure you are getting exactly what you want and that your product is fit for purpose and at a price that you can afford. The creases that will inevitably appear with the development of any new creation have to be ironed out before the manufacturing and production stages take place.
Allowing sufficient time to create that bespoke product is fundamental to its success. You may not need your creation for a year or more but the tooling or materials and finishing processes you want for your creation may have lengthy production lead times! Don’t be fooled into thinking you have plenty of time.
