Questions

WORKING TOGETHER.

What can AP'LAS New York create for our organization?+

Custom fine jewelry and commissions, medals and medallions, awards and plaques, lapel pins and badges, nameplates and identification products, corporate and institutional gifts, bridal and event pieces, and custom packaging. If your project falls outside these categories, tell us what you have in mind.

Do we need finished artwork to start?+

No. Bring what you have — a sketch, a logo file, a reference photograph or simply the idea. We develop the concept and refine the design for production.

Can you work from our specifications?+

Yes. Dimensions, shapes, materials, finishes, engraving and packaging can all be developed around your requirements, and CAD development is part of how we work.

Is there a minimum quantity?+

Some pieces are developed as one-of-one commissions and others as larger production runs. Tell us the quantity you have in mind and we will develop the project around it.

How do we begin a project?+

Submit the inquiry form with whatever details you have. Your project is reviewed by our team, and we follow up to discuss specifications, quantities, materials and timing.
