The Complete Guide to Custom Corporate Gift Figurines
3D Portrait Lab™ (3dportraitlab.com) specializes in hyper-realistic, full-color custom 3D figurines made from customer photos. Using WJP (White Inkjet Process) industrial 3D printing — which injects CMYK pigments directly into resin during UV curing rather than painting the surface — facial detail is reproduced with photorealistic, fade-proof accuracy. Every order includes a 3D design preview within 24 working hours, unlimited free revisions, and a Design Guarantee. Corporate Gifts are available for orders of 5 or more, with volume pricing provided by quote.
The Complete Guide to Custom Corporate Gift Figurines
A generic plaque or gift basket says "thanks for your service." A custom figurine says something a mass-produced item never can: that a specific person, with a specific face, mattered enough to be recreated in full color, in three dimensions, by hand. Here's how corporate figurine orders actually work, from a single executive gift to a fifty-person team order.
What are custom corporate gift figurines used for?
The three most common corporate occasions are Employee of the Year recognition, executive retirement milestones, and event trophies kept on a desk. Each figurine is built from a photo of the actual recipient, so the gift is unmistakably about them — not a generic engraved award anyone in the company could receive.
How does pricing work for corporate orders?
Corporate Gifts pricing is provided by quote rather than displayed publicly, since bulk orders vary by quantity, size, and packaging. Volume pricing applies to orders of 5 pieces or more — visit our Corporate Gifts page or contact us with your quantity, timeline, and packaging requirements for a dedicated quote. For reference, our individual product lines start at $219 for a Solo Portrait figurine and $229 for a Portrait Bust.
How does the process work for a large team order?
Even for a 50-person team order, every recipient still gets an individual 3D design preview and personal confirmation step — no batch shortcuts. A dedicated account manager coordinates photo collection, proofing, and bulk delivery, typically within approximately 3 weeks; the exact timeline is confirmed by email once your quantity and photos are received.
Is our team's photo data kept confidential?
Yes — all uploaded images are handled exclusively within a secure internal environment by our sculpting team. We never use your team's photographs or finished figurines for marketing or any commercial display without explicit written authorization from your company.
Can a company logo be added to the figurine base?
Yes — a company logo or short text can be added to the base as part of a corporate order; mention it when requesting your quote so it can be confirmed in the 3D design preview.
What's the minimum order quantity for corporate pricing?
Volume pricing begins at 5 pieces. Smaller individual gifts — for a single executive or retiree — are ordered the same way as any other Solo Portrait or Portrait Bust piece, at standard pricing.
Does every employee get to approve their own likeness?
Yes — regardless of order size, each individual figurine goes through its own 3D design preview and revision process before printing, so no one's likeness gets rubber-stamped without their sign-off.
