Q: What is an ARCH 2D art piece?

Q: What is an ARCH 3D miniature?

A: ARCH’s 3D (3-Dimensional) miniature is a model-like structure that is put together in different layers of veneer, resembling an actual building or subject. The 3D miniature can be viewed from all angles. It comes with a base and is protected with a see-through casing.

Q: What type of material is been use in making of ARCH?

A: Durian wood is used for the frames of ARCH merchandise. Good quality glass- this is determined by its high clarity. High quality board imported from UK. The art pieces are all hand assembled and we use only natural wood veneer – hence no 2 pieces are the same. More than 100 species of wood from America, Australia, Europe and Malaysia are used.

Q: With the large amount of wood veneer used, is it harmful to the environment?

A: All materials used in the making of ARCH’s gifts, souvenirs and collectibles are in no way a product of any illegal logging, but harvested from sustainable tree orchards/forests.

Q: What goes into a customized order?

A: A customized order is an item order that is specially designed and created for your own or your company needs. It can be personalized with your own logo and text message with the aim of projecting your corporate values and identity as well as commemorate a special occasion.

A: ARCH gifts and collectibles are unique gifts that are suitable for any event, function or occasion you or your company might organize. Be it door gifts, gifts for speakers, awards for deserving staff, or momentous for overseas delegates and more, we have a wide range of existing products to suit your occasion.

Q: Can I customize my own design, building or house into an ARCH art piece?

A: Yes, ARCH can create a 2D art piece of your house, building, shop-house, or any subject based on your requirements. The design is not only limited to buildings but also other various subjects for example a product, a scenery, a motif, flowers, certificates, plaques and just about anything that your company may require to create a lasting memory. You can also customize the designs to suit your company’s theme or event. Feel free to drop us an email at ourarch@singnet.com.sg or simply, fill up our enquiry form HERE (link to enquiry form).

Q: Are there any other fees involved for customized orders?

A: If the quantity ordered is lower than our minimum set, we will charge a minimal fee known as Development Costs (DC) as part of the whole design process to study and research the landmark, creating the drawing file, arrangement of layers, careful selection of veneers to use in the art piece until the prototype is created. Any order quantity that fulfills the minimum numbers will not be charged the DC.

Q: Will I be required to pay the DC should I repeat my order again?

A: No, the DC is a ONE-TIME payment and will be waived the next time you re-order the same art work in the same size. However, if you re-order the same design but in a different product range or bigger/smaller sized art piece, a DC is required as the previous drawing file needs to be modified and added with more or less detailing. Again, any order quantity that fulfills the minimum numbers will not be charged the DC.

Q: What is the production lead time for a customized order?

A: Production lead time for a customized order is 4 weeks upon the confirmation of order and design.
