How projects are created
Customers can start with a concept, logo, text or reference image, and Custom Creations EK refines this into a production-ready design using CAD tools and, where appropriate, copyright-safe generative design tools such as Adobe Firefly. Designs are proofed digitally before engraving, and each finished piece is checked for engraving quality, legibility and finish before handover or dispatch.​

Custom Creations EK emphasises quality, reliability and responsive service, using industry-grade Epilog laser equipment to achieve precise, repeatable engraving results. The business also aims to choose materials with sustainability in mind, such as FSC-sourced wood and eco rubber where possible, and offers flexible, small-batch production suited to bespoke and short-run work.​​​
