Written for the person pricing a closing gift for the first time.
A deal toy, also called a financial tombstone or a lucite embedment, is a commemorative object given to the people who closed a transaction. It is usually cast in optically clear lucite with the deal's tearsheet, logos and value embedded inside, and it is kept on a desk for years, which is why the finish matters more than the price.
Seven to ten working days from approved artwork for a standard lucite or crystal piece. Complex embedments with objects inside, or fully custom outlines, take longer, and we say so at quoting rather than at delivery.
There is no catalogue minimum. A single VIP piece is as welcome as a run of two hundred for a full syndicate, because the tooling and the pour happen in our own factory rather than at a supplier with a minimum.
Price is quoted per project, not from a list. The drivers are the material, the finished size, the thickness of the lucite, how many colours are printed, whether objects are embedded, and quantity. Send the artwork and the quantity and a full quotation comes back including engraving.
Yes. Pieces are packed individually, cartoned for export and the customs paperwork is prepared here in Hong Kong. Deliveries go to closing dinners and offices in Europe, North America, the Middle East and across Asia.
Yes. Tearsheets, ribbon, sand, coins, miniature buildings, product samples and branded cartons are all castable. The object is positioned by hand between pours, which is a step an agent who outsources casting cannot control.
Crystal Century is the export division of Premier Trophy Limited, a Hong Kong manufacturer operating since 2008 with its own factory and about a hundred in-house craftspeople. We cast, engrave, finish and pack under one roof rather than broker the work out.
Most suppliers in this trade are agents. They take the brief, mark it up and send it to a factory they do not control, and when the date slips there is nothing they can do about it. We own the whole chain, so the answer on a deadline is ours to give.
