Standard catalog shapes cover most projects, but working with a manufacturer rather than a reseller opens the door to shapes and dimensions well beyond round, square, and heart.
What Custom Options Typically Include
- Non-standard diameters and heights beyond catalog sizes
- Uncommon shapes like hexagons, octagons, or ovals
- Fully custom silhouettes for branded or themed events
Why Manufacturers Can Offer This and Resellers Can't
A reseller works from a fixed inventory they purchased from someone else; a manufacturer cuts each piece to order, which means dimensions and shapes aren't limited to a printed catalog.
Planning a Custom Order
Provide exact dimensions or a reference sketch, and confirm lead time, since custom pieces typically take longer to produce than in-stock standard sizes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum order size for custom shapes?
This varies by manufacturer; check directly for current minimums and lead times.
How much more does a custom shape cost compared to standard?
Cost depends on complexity and size, but custom work is often more affordable than most people expect when ordering directly from the manufacturer.
