CUSTOM

Orders

We specialise in crafting unique event signage that captures the essence of your special occasion. Whether you're planning a wedding or related celebration like an engagement party or bridal shower, a birthday shindig, corporate conference, or a community event, we're here to turn your vision into reality.

If you have a specific theme, colour scheme, or idea in mind, we're excited to bring it to life. Our team welcomes the opportunity to work closely with you to ensure every detail of your signage enhances the ambiance of your event.
In the initial phase we would love to see any inspo pictures you have so we can really grasp your vision and get to know the styles and colours you are into. This helps us hone in on how we can create pieces we know you will love!

TAILORING TO YOUR VISION

Planning ahead is key! Custom orders require careful planning and design. To ensure we deliver the best results, we kindly request a minimum of 6 weeks' notice for all custom orders. This allows us to dedicate ample time to design, production, and any special requirements you may have.
Note: Please get in contact as soon as you can prior to your event to ensure our availability. The turnaround time and minimum notice may increase, particularly over the ‘wedding season’ (November to March)

CONTACT US EARLY

Turnaround times for custom orders vary depending on the complexity and quantity of products needed. Rest assured, we strive to complete projects in a timely manner without compromising on quality. If you have a tight deadline, contact us as soon as possible. Rush orders may be accommodated on a case-by-case basis, subject to availability, and may involve additional fees.

FLEXIBLE TURNAROUND

Ready to discuss your custom signage needs? The first step is reaching out to us via email. This initial contact allows us to understand your requirements in detail and provide you with an accurate quote, including any applicable custom design fees based on the scope of your project.

HOW TO GET STARTED

LET'S DO THIS!

All custom orders incur a custom design fee due to the significant amount of time, hard work, energy and love that is put into creating all of our custom work. This fee varies as is dependant on the level of design and production time required to create customised products.

Custom products are not returnable and non-refundable.

For custom orders over $100, a minimum 50% deposit is required prior to commencing any design work. No order is guaranteed until receipt of this deposit. All orders must be paid in full at least 28 days prior to the scheduled date you require them and before any production will begin. If final payment is not made by this time Sketch Republic will deem your order cancelled and the initial deposit will be forfeited.

Once this quote is accepted and either full payment is made or a 50% deposit is received, we will begin the design process and mock-ups will be sent via email for your consideration and approval within an arranged timeframe. Once the design of your order is approved by you, any further changes requested, whether before or after production, will incur an additional charge at your own expense.

Quoted prices are valid for a 30 day period and must be accepted within this timeframe to secure the quoted pricing and availability. Any variations to initial requests may alter the total amount quoted. After the 30 day period has lapsed a new quote is required if you wish to continue your order.

We cannot guarantee the same pricing and availability as any orders previously quoted to you.
