How Our Pricing Works
Clear quotations based on the actual job, materials and production requirements
Most SHARK services are custom production jobs rather than fixed-price products. We review the file, dimensions, quantity, material, finishing and intended use before confirming the final price. Standard retail products in the Shop display their own product prices.
What affects a quotation?
- Final dimensions and quantity
- Material, paper, substrate or filament
- File quality and preparation required
- Production time and machine time
- Finishing, assembly, mounting, lighting or installation
- Detail level, tolerances and complexity
- Packaging, delivery and deadline requirements
Printing & Copy Services
Pricing depends on size, paper or media, colour coverage, quantity and finishing such as binding, laminating, mounting or folding. Complex student and presentation jobs are reviewed as a complete finished package rather than as isolated print sheets.
Large Format, Display & Signage
Large-format and signage quotations consider final area, media or substrate, finishing, structure, installation method, site conditions and expected duration. Accurate dimensions and a photograph of the installation location help us quote more reliably.
Scale Model Making
Scale-model pricing depends on project size, chosen scale, information quality, level of detail, materials, lighting, base, protective cover, transport and deadline.
3D Printing & Prototyping
Our current website offering focuses on FDM production. The SHARK STL Studio provides automatic pricing that updates when supported model parameters such as size and material change. The final production price is confirmed after SHARK reviews printability, orientation, supports, material use and finishing requirements.
Laser Cutting & Engraving
Pricing depends on material, thickness, cutting length, engraving area, machine time, quantity, setup and any assembly or finishing. Material compatibility may need to be confirmed before a final quotation.
Personalized & Business Production
Personalized gifts, awards, business materials and branded items are priced according to the product, material, artwork, quantity, customization and packaging requirements.
Before Production
Custom production requires prepayment before work begins. The quotation confirms whether a deposit or full payment is required, together with the approved specification and commercial terms. Standard retail supplies may be available for cash on delivery when confirmed with the order.
