Turn the storage concept into a controlled drawing

A custom container request should explain what the enclosure must do, not simply resemble a reference photograph. EONE accepts customer drawings for manufacturability review and can discuss OEM or private-label storage supply for brands, distributors, and project buyers. The final configuration depends on fabrication feasibility, intended use, quantity, and commercial agreement.

Begin with the Site Storage Containers collection and provide a plan, elevations, and the goods to be stored. Mark critical inside dimensions separately from outside dimensions. Show the clear door opening, opening direction, threshold requirements, and any requested shelf, partition, lock, or ventilation interface. Include the location and intended movement of heavy items rather than supplying only a total weight.

Keep options subject to technical review

Requests for different dimensions, base materials, floors, finishes, and openings need to be checked as a coordinated design. Adding a cutout or welded attachment is not merely a cosmetic change. The review should establish affected structure, weather interfaces, fabrication sequence, and any supporting calculations or tests required by the project.

  • Identify which dimensions are mandatory and which may be adjusted after review.
  • Mark proposed attachments and define whether the buyer or supplier provides the connected equipment.
  • Specify the operating environment and expected exposure for finish selection.
  • Request documented handling provisions and capacities applicable to the final design.
  • List any transport, local approval, or third-party review requirements before pricing.

The IMO's CSC framework addresses transport-container safety. Custom dimensions or a container-like appearance do not establish that status, and modifications must not be assumed compatible with an existing approval. No CSC, stacking, lifting, or load claim should appear in the order without appropriate evidence for the supplied configuration. An occupied-space request is a separate project, not an implied use of this storage product.

Coordinate the visible brand and the asset identity

EONE can review coordinated branding through finish colors, authorized logos, decals or nameplates, packing marks, and project identification where included in the quote. Supply usable artwork and confirm permission to reproduce it. Keep brand graphics separate from technical plates, handling instructions, and any legally required information.

Approve logo size and location on a dimensioned elevation. Review the finish on an agreed physical reference when color matters; a small image cannot settle every appearance question. For repeat fleet orders, define the asset numbering format and record which marks change by unit and which stay constant.

Approve the first configuration before repeating it

Agree the approval sequence: drawing review, material and finish references, selected interface checks, and first-unit evidence when required. Photographs can document visible details, but they do not replace a measurement report or required engineering review. A finish sample approves only its stated attributes, not the performance of the enclosure.

Freeze the drawing revision, materials, finish, hardware list, identification, packing, and inspection requirements before production release. Confirm MOQ, tooling, samples, testing, packaging, and lead time per project. Reorders should reference that approved package and identify changes explicitly.

Use Order Samples to discuss practical finish or component references, then request a custom storage quote. Include delivery access and door orientation; Mobile Modular's guidance illustrates why those decisions belong in planning, even though the actual delivery method must be agreed for your shipment.
