If a mascot appears in several gift rounds, which detail helps recipients recognise that it is still the same character? The answer rarely sits in the overall shape. It usually sits in one small detail the maker deliberately chose to keep.
Kym Việt makes fabric mascots and corporate gifts at its workshop at 123 Trung Văn, Đại Mỗ, Hà Nội. For custom-designed mascots, the minimum order is 100 pieces. That number only means something when the company knows which scope it is asking about.
Which detail makes recipients recognise the same mascot?
The person who made the sample chooses one identifying detail on the real sample, and explains why that detail keeps the character familiar. It can be a seam line, a fabric panel, or a small part on the mascot’s face. What matters is that it reads clearly when the sample stands alone, without comparison to the original.
Looking at a full-sample photo next to a close-up makes the role of that detail clearer than viewing the whole mascot from a distance. This is also why real, unstaged photos of the sample matter more than illustrations.
How does the maker check that detail?
The maker checks the identifying detail by placing the sample next to a reference object, then going through each point on that same detail. This keeps the detail from drifting across different production runs.
Where the workshop has reference material cleared for publication, the objects in the photos are labelled as samples or products. They are not assigned to different production rounds without evidence.
To reuse the design for a later gift round, what needs to be discussed again?
Whether a design can be reused for a later order, and the related conditions, is something the company should ask the workshop directly. Reusing a design is not grounds to conclude that separate orders can be combined to reach the minimum.
In other words, an existing design does not automatically become an order that already meets the quantity. This is the point to confirm before planning the next gift round.
Order quantity for corporate mascots: clarify the scope before comparing with the minimum
The minimum of 100 pieces applies to custom-designed mascots. The scope of that minimum needs verification before it is stated as a specific order policy. Companies should separate gift-round needs from order scope when talking with the workshop.
Production time for custom-designed mascots is 6–10 weeks, covering 7–14 days of design, 7–10 days of sampling, and 3–6 weeks of production. Kym Việt works Monday to Saturday, 08:00 – 17:30.
Your company can send expected needs by gift round together with the design you want to use, so we can discuss order scope, design reuse, and the applicable minimum. Reach us at +84 984 089 990 or +84 912 759 599, or email info@kymviet.com.vn.
