Success Case – 600 Custom Coffee Grounds Sets for Coffee Chain ESG Week
The Client's Vision of Closing the Loop
A global coffee chain with regional headquarters in Singapore launched a Sustainability Week across their stores and offices in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. They wanted a corporate gift that would embody their commitment to circularity – turning their own coffee waste into meaningful items for employees and partners. The coffee grounds recycling gift box was chosen for its direct connection to their core product. The client required laser engraving of their store logo on each cup, custom notebook covers featuring their coffee bean artwork, and fully compostable packaging – all within a six‑week timeline.
Design and Customisation Process
Our design team developed a rich brown and cream colour palette, reflecting the coffee journey from bean to cup. We produced three full sample sets to test engraving depth, notebook paper quality, and packaging durability. The sample available service allowed the client's sustainability team to evaluate the product quality and environmental claims before approving the bulk order. We also designed a custom "Brew & Reuse" card with tips on how to repurpose coffee grounds at home, reinforcing the campaign's educational goal.
Production and Quality Assurance
With a company order of 600 sets confirmed, our local factory coordinated production across multiple workshops – cup manufacturing, notebook binding, engraving, and packaging. We enforced rigorous quality checks at each stage, ensuring engraving precision, texture consistency, 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 was made from 100% recycled cardboard with plant‑based inks, featuring the client's sustainability slogan. Each box was individually printed with the employee's name and a personalised note from the CEO. Inside, the cup and notebook were nestled in a moulded pulp tray, and a small envelope contained the "Brew & Reuse" card and a tree‑planting certificate. The unboxing experience was designed to educate and inspire, making circularity tangible and personal.
Logistics and On‑Time Delivery
We coordinated with our logistics partner to ensure fast bulk delivery to the client's Singapore headquarters, with additional shipments to their regional offices in Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The consignment arrived two days before Sustainability Week, allowing HR teams to distribute the gifts during store‑level workshops. We also provided extra sets for contingencies.
Results and Client Testimonial
Sustainability Week was a transformative success. Employees were genuinely excited about the gifts – many started using the cups daily, and the notebooks became popular for meeting notes. The client's sustainability director noted a 50% increase in employee engagement with ESG initiatives and positive social media sharing. Within three months, we received a reorder corporate gift with new logo for their client appreciation campaign – this time with a limited‑edition gold foil stamp – along with referrals to two partner coffee roasters in Vietnam and Brunei.
