200 Custom Shadow Lanterns for Luxury Brand Mid-Autumn Gala in Singapore
The Client's Vision of Cultural Elegance
A renowned international luxury fashion house with regional headquarters in Singapore planned an exclusive Mid-Autumn VIP gala for 200 top clients from Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. They wanted a corporate gift that would reflect their brand's appreciation for cultural heritage and artistic craftsmanship, while celebrating the spirit of reunion. The shadow puppet lantern was chosen for its fusion of Eastern heritage and Western fashion aesthetics. The client required laser engraving of their brand logo on the wooden frame, custom fashion silhouette designs inspired by their latest collection, and personalised thank-you cards – all within a five-week timeline.
Design and Customisation Process
Our design team collaborated closely with the brand's creative directors to translate their signature fashion silhouettes – including iconic dress shapes and accessory outlines – into shadow puppet cut-out patterns. We produced three sample lanterns with different wood finishes (walnut, oak, and bamboo) and metal accent colours (gold, silver, and rose gold). The sample available service allowed the brand's marketing team to evaluate the light projection quality, engraving depth, and overall aesthetic before approving the bulk order. We also designed a custom insert card explaining the shadow puppet heritage and the brand's cultural inspiration.
Production and Quality Assurance
With a company order of 200 sets confirmed, our local factory initiated production across multiple workshops – woodworking, metal finishing, laser cutting for silhouettes, and assembly. We enforced rigorous quality checks at each stage, ensuring logo engraving clarity, silhouette precision, and frame stability. The minimum order 50pcs was exceeded, and we structured a tiered bulk discount that fitted their budget corporate gift allocation. Weekly photo updates were sent to the client's procurement team in Malaysia and the Philippines, ensuring full transparency.
Custom Packaging and Personalised Touches
The outer gift box featured the brand's signature colour palette and gold foil stamping, with each box individually printed with the guest's name and a personalised note from the brand's regional president. We used recycled cardboard and plant-based inks, meeting the client's ESG eco corporate gift criteria. Inside, the lantern was nestled in a custom foam insert, and a silk ribbon facilitated easy lifting. The packaging was designed to create a theatrical unboxing experience – revealing the lantern as if it were a piece of art.
Logistics and On-Time Delivery
We coordinated with our logistics partner to ensure fast bulk delivery to the gala venue in Singapore, with additional sets shipped to the brand's regional offices in Thailand and Indonesia for local VIP distribution. The consignment arrived three days before the gala, allowing the events team to inspect and arrange the gift presentation. We also provided extra sets for contingencies.
Results and Client Testimonial
The Mid-Autumn gala was a spectacular success. VIP guests were captivated by the lantern's beauty and the innovative fusion of heritage and fashion – many displayed the lanterns in their homes and shared photos on social media, praising the brand's cultural sensitivity. The brand's regional marketing director noted a 35% increase in post-event engagement and positive feedback scores. Within two months, we received a reorder corporate gift with new logo for their Christmas client gift campaign – this time with winter-themed silhouettes – along with referrals to two partner luxury brands in Vietnam and Brunei.
