In the backend, go to -> System -> Configuration -> Main tab -> Product section. There'll you find the parameter "Display the quantity field on the product page". Relevant for you: either "No", or - if you have some products where you still want the quantity field - "On a per product basis". In case of the latter, the default is no display, but you can enable it for each product in the backend. --- Need help with customisations of layouts, style or other site development?

That way, the user will have to add the products one at a time to the cart, each time filling the custom fields.
