Everything procurement heads, project managers, and marketing teams ask before commissioning custom fabricated branding from IBS.
What is custom fabricated branding?+
Custom fabricated branding is bespoke, made-to-specification brand objects that standard signage catalogues don't cover — dimensional 3D logos beyond standard channel letters, sculptural installations, brand walls, wayfinding totems, branded fixtures, experiential structures, and heritage installations. IBS designs and fabricates these in-house across acrylic, metal, foam, FRP, and composite, with integrated lighting and in-house installation.
What types of companies order custom fabricated branding?+
Typically companies opening flagship stores, large corporate offices, brand-experience centres, hotels, or institutional campuses where off-the-shelf signage is insufficient. Common commissioners include BFSI brands (reception installations), retail flagships (feature fabrication), hotels (lobby centrepieces), airports (monumental and wayfinding), and institutions (heritage walls, campus identity).
How is custom fabrication different from standard signage?+
Standard signage answers standard briefs from established formats — channel letters, glow boards, ACP fascia — and IBS runs dedicated lines for those. Custom fabrication is for the one-off and the dimensional: objects designed from scratch, often mixing materials, requiring engineering, prototyping, and bespoke finishing. If a catalogue format fits, that's the cheaper route; custom fabrication is for when it doesn't.
What materials can IBS fabricate in?+
Acrylic (PMMA, 300+ colours, clear/frosted/mirror), mild and stainless steel, aluminium, ACP (Dibond/Alucobond), PU and EPS foam, FRP/ fibreglass, and MDF/plywood — cut, routed, welded, formed, and finished in-house, with LED illumination integrated into any element. Material is chosen per brief for form, finish, durability, and budget.
Does IBS handle design, or only fabrication?+
Both, in-house. We work from your brand guidelines, an architect's GFC drawings, or an interior designer's specification, and we can also develop concept visuals and structural drawings from a brief if no design exists. Because the same company designs and builds, the finished object matches the intent and is grounded in a buildable, mountable, durable design.
Does IBS prototype before full production?+
Yes — for complex, large-scale, or finish-critical pieces, we fabricate a reduced-scale prototype or a full-size section mock-up for sign-off before committing to full production. This validates geometry, finish, illumination, and mounting at mock-up stage, so surprises don't happen at the installed object.
What is the lead time for custom fabricated branding?+
Lead time depends on complexity, material, and scale. Simpler dimensional logos and letters typically run one to two weeks; complex sculptural installations or large lobby walls run several weeks. We provide a firm timeline at proposal confirmation after design sign-off, factoring in any prototyping.
Can IBS integrate lighting into fabricated pieces?+
Yes. LED illumination — backlit, front-lit, and halo — is integrated into the fabrication and designed in from the start, not bolted on afterwards. Electrical is wired and tested in-house to CEA-compliant standards with surge protection, and commissioned safely at installation.
Does IBS build branded furniture and fixtures?+
Yes. Reception counters, retail display fixtures, kiosks, and branded furniture are built at our own furniture factory near Vasai East on the Mumbai–Ahmedabad Highway — the same facility that supplies our office fit-out projects. Factory-built fixtures mean QC before dispatch, consistent finish, and units engineered to the brief rather than bought generic.
Can IBS fabricate custom branding for Gulf country projects?+
Yes. We fabricate at our Mumbai facility and export custom branding to UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, and Kuwait, with installation support for larger Gulf projects. Export engagements are documented to the applicable export-invoicing requirements.
Can IBS fabricate monumental signage and wayfinding totems?+
Yes. Monumental entry pylons, wayfinding totems, directory structures, and campus identity are core fabrication categories, engineered for structural load, foundation interface, weatherproofing, and (where lit) integrated illumination and surge protection. IBS also holds BCAS clearance for monumental and wayfinding fabrication inside airport terminals.
Does the price include GST?+
GST is shown on a separate line in every IBS invoice at the applicable rate per the prevailing GST Council notification — not bundled into the line-item price. Tax invoices and tax certificates are issued for every billing event. Input tax credit availability — where applicable to your business — applies as standard.
What is the warranty on custom fabricated branding?+
IBS guarantees fabrication and finishing workmanship and the structural and electrical safety of installed pieces, with rectification of any workmanship defect. Warranty is scaled by material, finish, and exposure — indoor, outdoor/monumental, and illuminated pieces each carry a realistic durability expectation stated at proposal, with manufacturer pass-through on LED components.
Does IBS work with architects and interior designers?+
Yes — IBS frequently works as the fabrication and execution partner to architects and interior designers, building to their GFC drawings and specifications and collaborating through design development, material sampling, prototyping, and installation. We're comfortable as the delivery arm of someone else's design vision.
Can IBS fabricate sculptural and complex organic forms?+
Yes. Sculptural and organic forms — curved, freeform, and complex geometries — are fabricated in FRP/fibreglass, foam, and CNC-cut composite, finished to gallery standard and engineered for safe mounting or suspension. These are the most design-and-engineering- intensive pieces we build, and where prototyping matters most.
Can IBS handle large reception and lobby brand walls?+
Yes. Reception and lobby brand walls combining printed graphics, dimensional elements, material inlay, and integrated lighting are a core category. Because graphics, fabrication, joinery, and lighting are all in-house, the wall is delivered as one coordinated installation to a single finish standard, not coordinated across separate vendors.
Does IBS install, or only fabricate and deliver?+
In-house crews handle installation — site preparation, structural fixing, assembly, and commissioning, including electrical and illumination commissioning for lit pieces — across India. For Gulf and outstation projects, installation support is coordinated for larger engagements.
Can IBS fabricate trophies, awards, and bespoke mementos?+
Yes. Custom corporate awards, recognition trophies, and bespoke mementos are fabricated in acrylic, metal, and composite to a brand-specific design, in quantities from a single piece to a full programme run for recurring recognition programmes.
Can custom fabrication be part of a full office fit-out?+
Yes. Custom fabrication frequently sits inside a larger office fit-out — reception statement, brand walls, and bespoke furniture delivered as part of the whole interior. Because IBS runs in-house civil, MEP, joinery, and the Vasai East furniture factory, the fabrication and the fit-out are one accountable scope rather than two vendors.
How do I start a custom fabrication project with IBS?+
Share your brief — the brand objective, the space and its dimensions, any reference images or drawings, your installation location, and your required date — through the enquiry form, by phone, or by email. We'll propose a design direction, material approach, and (for complex builds) a prototyping plan, then provide a proposal. Initial consultation is free of charge and without obligation.
