Most screen protector enquiries are straightforward: a known device, a standard material, a clear specification. This page is about the other kind — the projects where the requirement is unusual, the environment is demanding, or the problem doesn't have an off-the-shelf answer. These are the projects we find most interesting, and the ones where 16 years of specialist experience genuinely matters.

What makes a project "bespoke"

A bespoke project is one where the solution has to be designed, not selected. It usually involves one or more of the following:

An unusual form factor — a display that isn't rectangular, a curved or contoured surface, an irregular cutout pattern, or a multi-screen assembly.
A demanding environment — extreme temperature, UV exposure, chemical contact, salt spray, abrasion, or continuous vibration.
A specialist optical requirement — specific light transmission, controlled reflectance, colour neutrality, or compatibility with night-vision or polarised equipment.
A custom coating or treatment — beyond standard anti-glare or oleophobic finishes.
A problem nobody has solved yet — where the brief is essentially "this keeps failing, can you fix it?"

Specialist capabilities

Custom coatings and treatments

Beyond the standard oleophobic top coat, bespoke projects can call for anti-glare matte finishes at specified haze levels, anti-reflective multi-layer coatings, anti-fingerprint enhancement, anti-blue-light filtering, antimicrobial surfaces, hydrophobic treatments for wet environments, and abrasion-resistant hard coats for high-contact applications. Custom coatings can be combined where the application justifies it.

Non-standard shapes and cutouts

Circular displays, curved instrument panels, irregular industrial HMIs, displays with multiple sensor windows, protectors with integrated masking or printed borders. If it can be drawn, it can usually be cut.

Harsh-environment construction

Protectors built to survive conditions that destroy standard films — UV-stable materials for outdoor and marine use, wide-temperature adhesives for automotive and industrial applications, chemically resistant top coats, and glass-TPU hybrid constructions for impact and vibration.

Optical specialist work

Where the display is part of a precision task — instrumentation, imaging, navigation — the protector's optical properties matter. Bespoke projects can specify light transmission targets, controlled reflectance, and compatibility with polarised eyewear or specialist viewing equipment.

Industries we do bespoke work for

Specialist requirements cluster in particular sectors:

Marine — salt spray, UV, humidity, glare off water; navigation and instrumentation displays.
Aviation — cockpit displays, EFB tablets, anti-glare and polariser-compatible specifications.
Automotive — infotainment and instrument cluster displays, wide-temperature adhesives, UV stability.
Luxury electronics — premium consumer hardware where optical perfection and finish quality are non-negotiable.
Military and defence — ruggedised construction, specialist optical requirements, ITAR-compliant supply on a case-by-case basis.
Kiosks and self-service — large-format, vandal-resistant, high-traffic public displays.
Smart technology — novel devices and form factors that don't yet have a standard protector.

If you've been told "we can't do that" — that's our cue. A large share of our bespoke work comes from buyers who approached a standard supplier, hit the limits of a catalogue offering, and needed someone who treats an unusual brief as a design problem rather than a reason to decline.

How a bespoke project runs

The brief

Tell us the problem, the environment and the constraints. A drawing helps but isn't essential at first contact — often the brief is a description and a photograph.

Design

We propose a construction — material, coatings, geometry, adhesive — and explain the trade-offs. This is a conversation, not a catalogue lookup.

Prototype

A first-article sample for testing in the real application. Bespoke projects almost always prototype before production.

Production

Volume manufacturing with QC against the agreed specification, and the specification held on file for consistent reorders.

A note on honesty

Bespoke work attracts ambitious briefs, and not every brief has a good answer. Sometimes the right material doesn't exist yet; sometimes the environment is genuinely beyond what any protective film can survive; sometimes the budget and the requirement don't meet. When that's the case, we'll tell you — and where possible we'll suggest what would work, even if it's a different approach from the one you came in with. A realistic "here's what's achievable" is more useful than an optimistic "no problem" that fails in the field.
