Some of our favorite projects started with “we couldn't find anything like this.” Custom product development is how a brand ends up with a piece nobody else has: a stress toy in the shape of your mascot, a snow globe with your skyline, an enamel pin series, a bottle in your exact brand color, or a gift box designed around a launch.
Our founder comes from 25+ years in advertising and design, so we approach these projects like a creative brief, not a catalog order. We sketch concepts, build realistic mockups, work with factories on materials, colors and molds, and manage samples and production until the finished pieces arrive.
How it works
- BriefTell us the goal, audience, budget, quantity and date.
- ConceptsWe send ideas and mockups. You pick a direction.
- SampleWe produce a sample so you can see and hold it.
- ProductionOnce approved, we manage production and deliver.
Custom product development: questions
How long does a custom product take?
Longer than a catalog item, because it includes design, sampling and production, and often overseas shipping. Bring us in early and we'll give you a realistic timeline for your date.
What quantity do custom products need?
Fully custom items usually have higher minimums than catalog products. It depends on the product and process, so tell us your quantity and we'll show what's possible.
Do you charge for concepts?
Tell us about your project and we'll explain how we work for that scope. Every project includes artwork help and a virtual mockup.
Not sure what to pick?
Tell us your budget, quantity and date. We'll send product ideas with a free virtual mockup.
