Success Case – 300 Custom Ice Cube Sets for Outdoor Brand Retreat
The Client's Vision of Alpine Elegance
An international outdoor apparel and equipment brand with regional headquarters in Singapore hosted an exclusive VIP retreat for 300 top retailers, ambassadors, and corporate clients from Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. They wanted a corporate gift that would embody their brand's connection to nature, precision, and premium quality. The HOKA ice cube gift set was chosen for its mountain‑inspired design and detail‑oriented craftsmanship. The client required laser engraving of their brand logo on each ice stone, custom mountain embossing on the outer box, and branded silicone tongs – all within a five‑week timeline.
Design and Customisation Process
Our design team developed a rugged, alpine‑inspired colour palette – charcoal, slate, and silver – echoing the brand's outdoor heritage. We produced three full sample sets to test engraving depth, box embossing quality, and tong durability. The sample available service allowed the brand's marketing team to evaluate the tactile quality, visual impact, and overall presentation before approving the bulk order. We also designed a custom insert card with the brand's mountain heritage story and a QR code linking to a behind‑the‑scenes film.
Production and Quality Assurance
With a company order of 300 sets confirmed, our local factory coordinated production across multiple workshops – metal engraving, box embossing, tong moulding, and packaging assembly. We enforced rigorous quality checks at each stage, ensuring engraving consistency, embossing clarity, and material integrity. 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, ensuring full transparency.
Custom Packaging and Personalised Touches
The outer box featured the brand's mountain logo in silver foil on a textured slate sleeve, with each box individually printed with the client's name and a personalised note from the brand's regional director. We used FSC‑certified cardboard and plant‑based inks, meeting the client's ESG eco corporate gift criteria. Inside, the stones were nestled in a custom foam tray, and a branded canvas pouch held the tongs. The unboxing was designed to evoke the feeling of opening a premium gear set – rugged, refined, and ready for adventure.
Logistics and On‑Time Delivery
We coordinated with our logistics partner to ensure fast bulk delivery to the retreat venue in Singapore, with additional sets shipped to the brand's regional distribution hubs in Thailand and Indonesia. The consignment arrived two days before the event, allowing the team to inspect and prepare the gift distribution. We also provided extra sets for contingencies.
Results and Client Testimonial
The retreat was a resounding success. VIP attendees were impressed by the set's quality and the thoughtful mountain details – many used the stones during evening whisky sessions and shared photos on social media. The brand's regional director noted a 35% increase in post‑retreat client engagement scores. Within three months, we received a reorder corporate gift with new logo for their Christmas client campaign – this time with a limited‑edition gold finish – along with referrals to two partner outdoor brands in Vietnam and Brunei.
