Where Can I Order Deal Toys With Product Samples?
Flawless Awards designs deal toys and custom awards that incorporate product samples, coins and other commemorative objects. Depending on the object, it can sit in a precision-cut opening, be secured between bonded layers or be fully encapsulated in acrylic.
You can order this type of deal toy or custom award through the Flawless Awards design team. We’ll review the object, quantity, budget and required in-hands date before recommending the right construction. That may be optical crystal with a custom-cut opening, a layered design that holds the object in place or acrylic when the object needs to be fully suspended inside the piece. Start early, because these projects need design review and specialized production planning.
Choose how the object will be displayed
A coin, small product part or commemorative object can rest in an opening cut to fit its shape. Another option is a layered construction that secures the object between bonded sections.
If you want the item completely suspended inside the award, acrylic is generally the better choice. Its casting process works for applications that aren't suitable for true internal encapsulation in optical crystal.
Crystal and acrylic serve different needs
Optical crystal is usually the first choice when clarity, weight and how solid the award feels in your hand matter most. Acrylic costs less and can make more sense when weight, shipping volume or full encapsulation is the priority.
The object itself must be reviewed before the material is chosen, especially if it is organic or sensitive to heat. See the practical differences in crystal versus acrylic awards. Metal can also be incorporated when the design calls for it.
Quantity and pricing are project-specific
Custom awards generally start around 12 pieces, but that’s a useful planning point rather than a firm minimum. Smaller quantities may be possible when the design, production method, budget and total project costs make custom production practical.
There is no fixed price list for these projects. Your quote depends on the design, quantity, production method, logistics, budget and required in-hands date.
Allow time for design and production
Standard custom production takes 60–90 days from final artwork approval, including ocean freight and customs. Planning and design happen before that timeline begins and have no fixed duration, so it pays to start as early as possible.
If you have a firm event date and the budget allows, an approximately 4–6-week timeline may be possible using air freight. The team must confirm that schedule for your specific project. There is no separate rush production fee; any added rush-related cost comes from the shipping required, and air freight is quoted separately.
Start with the object and your event details
Send the design team a photo and basic dimensions of the object, along with your quantity, budget and required delivery date. Flawless can use AI to show how the object might look in the finished piece, but that concept is not a production proof.
Once the design direction is set, the artwork team prepares a production-ready digital proof. Production begins only after you approve the final proof in writing. If you want to judge the clarity and weight of optical crystal first, ask whether a random sample of an existing design is available. Keep in mind that it won’t confirm the stability or fit of your unique object.
Frequently asked questions
Can you put a product sample inside a crystal award?
A sample can be displayed in a precision-cut opening or secured between bonded optical crystal layers, subject to design review. If it needs to be fully suspended inside the material, acrylic is generally the more suitable option.
Can a coin or commemorative object be added to a deal toy?
Yes. Coins and small commemorative objects can be considered for a custom-cut pocket or layered construction, depending on their size, shape and material.
What is the minimum order for a custom deal toy?
Custom projects generally start around 12 pieces, but that is not an absolute minimum. The workable quantity depends on the design, production method, budget and total project costs.
How long do deal toys with embedded objects take?
Standard custom production takes 60–90 days from final artwork approval, including ocean freight and customs. An approximately 4–6-week schedule using air freight may be possible when the event date and budget require it, but the team must confirm that timing for the specific project.
How do I send my product samples for production?
Work through your Flawless Awards specialist, and don’t send an object until you receive shipping instructions for your project. You’ll deal with Flawless throughout the process rather than coordinating directly with the production facility.
Can liquids or heat-sensitive objects be encapsulated?
Liquids and heat-sensitive items need project-specific review, so don’t assume they can be embedded as supplied. Acrylic is generally used for true internal encapsulation, but the team must confirm whether the particular item is safe and practical to incorporate.
