How Long Does It Take to Get a Deal Toy Made?

On an average a customised Deal Toy or Financial Tombstone takes 10 to 30 days to manufacture after the design has been approved. That said, we have even delivered within 3 days in the case of an urgency and for a very complicated but beautiful deal toy we had made, it had taken 60 days. 

Deal Toys are bespoke by the very nature of it. Usually our customers call us at the successful completion of a financial deal. They brief us on the deal that is being celebrated, the concerned industry, the various partners who need to be mentioned in the felicitation and the timeline by which they need us to ship the finished awards. 

Our design team gets started immediately. Depending on the timeline, occasion and budget given by the customer, we draw up several alternative ideas to present to the customer. Once the customer approves a design, then production begins. 

It is worth mentioning that all our processes, starting from design to delivery, are in-house. This gives us the maximum flexibility and control over each step of the process. 

The time taken depends on the complexity of the design. 

Deal toys can be very simple and basic and yet effective. These we are able to deliver quickly. 

2D designs take a little bit more time because they have to sit just right. Sometimes our 2D tombstones have 3D elements attached. 

Many deal toys are made with glass or crystal. We do special engraving on glass by way of hand carving and etching (as opposed to the cheap and quick laser engraving). Each award engraved in this manner takes a 2-5 hours just in the etching. 

Many of our financial services customers have preferred 3D elements in their deal toys. We make these with polyresin, which has to be cast in a mould, then painted, finished and included in the final award, which may also include other elements. 

In short, there are all sorts of deal toys that we offer at Pinnacle. These start from simple and basic ones, to highly stylised and customised. Because our entire pipeline is in-house, we offer the best timelines of delivery to our customers. Whatever our customer’s budget and timeline, we have a solution for them.
