Ponoko ID Makes Custom Designed Goods Accessible

Now shoppers can have their goods designed and made just for them at the lowest price possible.

Ponoko ID is the world's first shopping request and match making service for manufactured goods.

It's the latest offering from Ponoko, the unique online marketplace that brings together consumers and designers of individualized goods.

Shoppers use the new service to post requests for custom-made individualized goods.

Requests are sent to a selection of Ponoko's pool of more than 10,000 members who then have the chance to put forward a bid to make the item.

Ponoko Chief Strategy Officer Derek Elley says Ponoko ID is a way for shoppers and designers to collaborate to create something unique and special.

"What's exciting is that Ponoko ID makes getting something made just for you as easy as sending an email," he says.

"Shoppers no longer have to accept 'one size fits all' mass produced goods but can now save a bunch of money to get their ideas turned into reality by expert designers worldwide."
