Custom Manufacturing
From an Idea to a Finished Product
Have a product in mind that you can't find in our existing range?
ecotanka Business works directly with manufacturers to help businesses develop custom products around their specific requirements. From modifying an existing design to developing something completely new, we can help manage the process from initial concept through sampling and production.
Whether you need a different material, size, shape, finish, component, packaging solution or a completely custom product, talk to us about what you're trying to achieve.

More Than Choosing From a Catalogue
Sometimes the right product doesn't already exist.
Our custom manufacturing service gives businesses the opportunity to develop products around their own requirements rather than being limited to standard off-the-shelf options.
Depending on the project, we can help with:
Custom Product Design
Develop a new product or adapt an existing design to better suit your application.
Materials & Construction
Explore suitable materials, construction methods and finishes based on performance, appearance, application and budget.
Sizes & Specifications
Develop products around specific dimensions, capacities, weights, tolerances or functional requirements.
Colours & Finishes
Create product colours, surface treatments, textures and finishes appropriate for your brand or application.
Components & Accessories
Develop or modify lids, handles, fittings, inserts, seals, attachments and other product components.
Custom Branding
Integrate your branding into the finished product through suitable printing, engraving, dimensional printing and other branding methods.
Custom Packaging
Develop retail, commercial, presentation, protective or shipping packaging around the finished product.
How Custom Manufacturing Works
Tell Us What You Need
Send us your idea, drawing, existing product, specifications, photographs or simply explain the problem you're trying to solve.
You don't necessarily need a finished design to start the conversation.
Product & Manufacturing Review
We assess the requirements and explore suitable materials, manufacturing methods, factories, quantities and potential solutions.
Design & Development
Where required, specifications, drawings, components and manufacturing details are developed before sampling.
Sampling & Prototyping
Samples or prototypes may be produced so the product, construction, dimensions, materials and functionality can be evaluated before mass production.
Approval
Final specifications, pricing, quantities, packaging and production requirements are confirmed before manufacturing begins.
Production & Quality Control
Once approved, the product moves into production. Quality requirements and production specifications are monitored throughout the manufacturing process as appropriate to the project.
Packaging & Delivery
Products can be packed according to the agreed requirements and prepared for commercial delivery.
Materials & Manufacturing Possibilities
Our custom manufacturing projects are not limited to one material or product category.
Depending on the product and application, projects may involve materials such as:
Stainless Steel
Titanium
Glass
Aluminium
Ceramic
Wood
Bamboo
Silicone
Plastics
Paper & Cardboard
Textiles
Composite Materials
Material availability and suitability depend on the individual product, manufacturing process, quantities and intended application.
Modify an Existing Product
Custom Doesn't Always Mean Starting From Zero
Developing completely new tooling isn't necessary for every project.
In many cases, an existing product can be modified to create something better suited to your requirements.
This could include changing:
Size
Capacity
Material
Colour
Finish
Components
Accessories
Branding
Packaging
This can often provide a more practical route to a customised product while reducing development complexity, cost and production time.
Need a Completely New Product?
For more specialised requirements, we can explore developing a product specifically for your business.
Projects may involve custom drawings, prototypes, tooling, moulds, manufacturing specifications and production testing before moving into commercial quantities.
Minimum order quantities, tooling requirements, development costs and lead times depend on the complexity of the individual project.
We won't force a standard solution onto a requirement that needs something different.
Manufacturing Experience You Can Depend On
ecotanka has been involved in product development and manufacturing since 2005.
That experience gives ecotanka Business a practical understanding of the details that matter when turning an idea into a commercially manufactured product, from materials and construction through to sampling, production, quality control and packaging.
Our role is not simply to find a factory.
Our role is to help turn your requirements into the right product.
Have a Product in Mind?
You don't need to have every detail worked out. Tell us what you want to make, how it will be used, your approximate quantity and any specifications you already have. Our team can review the project and help determine the next steps.
