Supply design intent and production information
An architect's rendering describes appearance; a fabrication package must also describe geometry and interfaces. For custom screens, wall features, formed panels, and other decorative components, EONE accepts customer drawings for manufacturability review. OEM and private-label projects can include agreed branding, packaging, and coordinated visual details for brands and project suppliers.
Start with the Custom Architectural Metalwork collection, then send dimensioned drawings and usable pattern files. Identify the units, revision, visible face, mounting orientation, and finished quantity of each part. Include the intended application and flag any structural, facade, electrical, or other performance requirements that need separate review.
Review the features that drive fabrication
- Material and thickness, including acceptable alternatives if the first choice is unsuitable.
- Cut geometry, remaining material between openings, bends, returns, and joined sections.
- Hole locations, mounting surfaces, standoffs, and access to installed fasteners.
- Visible welds, grinding expectations, edge treatment, and finish boundaries.
- Required inspection dimensions and the party responsible for site engineering.
The factory review may propose a revised joint, module division, or production sequence. Those changes should return to the buyer for approval rather than silently altering the design. No drawing submission guarantees that every pattern, size, material, or tolerance can be manufactured as requested.
If hot-dip galvanizing is proposed, address process venting and drainage during detailing. The American Galvanizers Association explains why these features belong in the fabrication design. Their positions can affect visible surfaces, so coordinate them before approving the finish and do not close process openings without an appropriate review.
Use samples that represent the important detail
A flat color coupon cannot show whether a folded return is visually acceptable. Agree whether approval needs a finish swatch, cut-pattern section, welded corner, bracket interface, or first assembled component. State which production material and process the sample represents and identify any differences from the final part.
For color-critical work, choose the reference and viewing method before deciding whether a sample matches. ASTM D1729 provides context for visual appraisal of opaque colors; it is not automatic certification of the metalwork. Metallic or special-effect finishes may need a different agreed assessment.
Keep brand approval separate from manufacturing approval
Provide authorized logos, typefaces, artwork, colors, placement dimensions, and any packaging text. EONE can coordinate branding across the fabricated parts, labels, crates, and related supplied items when included in the order. Confirm permission to reproduce the submitted design and agree any confidentiality or commercial restrictions separately; custom manufacture does not automatically grant exclusivity or settle IP ownership.
Approve artwork proofs for content and position, then confirm the physical finish or applied mark where required. Packing marks should connect each piece to the installation drawing without exposing unnecessary customer information. Specify face protection, separation between finished surfaces, and module identification.
Make the reorder reference complete
Release production against one approved drawing revision, material list, finish reference, sample decision, accessory schedule, and inspection plan. Agree minimum quantities, tooling, tests, sample charges, packaging, and timing per project. Keep the same records for reorders and review any proposed substitution before release.
Use Order Samples to discuss approval pieces and Request a Quote for the complete custom package. Include destination and handling constraints so fabrication and packing can be planned together.
