Premium, Advertising Specialty, and Custom Personalized Ornaments by Calliope Designs
Over the last 35 years Calliope
Designs has had the opportunity to
create custom designed Christmas
tree ornaments as products to be
used for gifts for businesses,
colleges and universities, non
profit organizations and special
events.
Of course, one way of customizing an
ornament is through the written
inscription you order to be placed
upon any of the designs you see
currently shown on our website.
This works well for smaller orders
because then it usually doesn’t make
sense to go to the expense of
creating a unique design. Also,
using our currently available in
stock products eliminates the need
to plan ahead – you can choose a
style and create a personalized
ornament.
What are the requirements to have
your own custom designed product
created?
The minimum quantity required to
have your own custom ornament
created is 288 pieces.
The cost of each piece would depend
upon it’s size and complexity,
however in general the custom
designed products are sold at our
Wholesale prices.
How does the custom design process
work?
We have our own in-house designer to
create your product, but we would
expect to have creative input from
you, the customer. We would want to
know about the organization we’re
creating an ornament for, how it
will be used (for sale or for a
gift), and if there were any
important design elements such as
color, shape or subject matter. We
would want to see any company logos
or artwork that might be helpful to
our creative process, and discuss
with you, prior to beginning artwork
what you had in mind.
Once a concept is decided upon, our
designer will create a drawing of a
custom Christmas tree ornament which
is submitted for your approval prior
to placing an or for a sample.
What is the cost of the design
process?
The cost of having artwork and
sample created is $125.00 paid in
advance of the process.
If the product is accepted and
ordered for production and delivery,
the $125.00 is deducted from the
final cost of the delivered product.
What’s next?
After approval of the finished
sample, production is ordered and
your custom designed ornaments are
made, shipped to our warehouse for a
thorough quality check, then sent on
to you to be used as you wish.
How long does this process take?
The absolute minimum time this
process takes is 5 months. That
means if you want to have a custom
Christmas ornament gift ready at the
beginning of December you must be
ready to begin prior to July 1st.
Here are some of the examples of
custom designed Christmas ornaments
we have created over the years.
