Custom Compartments ~ Compartments built into the above structures start at $25 and up, depending on number and complexity.
One-of-a-Kind Structures ~ $60 / hour, $200 deposit ~ I will do my best to estimate time on One-of-a-Kind work, but as everyone's work is individual, consider these estimates as very rough.
Mail Fit ~ $25 ~ When it is not possible to bring or send your item, Mail Fit is the safest method to guarantee the final fit of your box. A mock-tray, built from your measurements, will be shipped to you for a fitting. Then you can advise me of any changes that are needed.
No Rush Orders ~ I am efficient and timely in my work, and projects are processed with deadlines in mind, but I am a one woman show who makes mistakes when rushed, so please plan ahead for your custom box needs. I look forward to working with you.
