How it's used
Focuses on the process of commissioning an item with specific requirements rather than just purchasing off the shelf. It implies a collaborative or consultative phase where the buyer dictates dimensions, materials, or design features before production begins. This term is standard for high-end goods like bespoke tailoring or custom furniture.
Examples
This suit was custom-made specifically for me.
How many tables are you planning to have custom-made?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for simple pre-orders of mass-produced items, like reserving a new video game or a limited edition toy. For those, use 預訂 instead.
