Fabrication Partner for Overseas Design Firms
A China-Based Exhibit Fabrication Partner for Overseas Design Teams
DEEPBLUE works with overseas museum, exhibition, experience and architecture design firms that need a fabrication partner after concept approval. We review buildability without replacing the design author, develop agreed production information, coordinate samples and prototypes, manufacture and pre-assemble custom exhibits, prepare factory acceptance evidence, and support packing and overseas installation. A responsibility matrix keeps design authority, local-code review, approvals and site obligations clear.

FAQ
Questions to clarify before the project starts.
Will DEEPBLUE change our design?
We propose changes only where production, safety-related information, maintenance, packing or installation requires review. The agreed design authority approves changes before release.
Can you sign an NDA for project information and control brand use?
Yes. Confidentiality, permitted references and any use of names, marks or project media can be reviewed and documented before detailed files are exchanged.
How are samples, prototypes and design changes approved?
A controlled register records submissions, comments, revisions and sign-off before released information reaches production.
What does factory acceptance cover for a design firm?
FAT evidence is organized against approved drawings, samples, finishes, functions, labels, documentation and the agreed responsibility matrix.
Can support be remote or on site?
Depending on scope, support may include remote coordination, installation information, supervision or an agreed on-site team, subject to local permits and responsibilities.
Can DEEPBLUE provide contract manufacturing for a defined exhibit package?
Yes, when design authority, production development, confidentiality, brand use, acceptance, destination compliance and site responsibilities are documented.
