Your Goal<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your promo product will:
\n* Say thank you to the cast and crew, and provide them with an ongoing memory of their tour.
\n* Be small and packable. Recipients will carry it home in their suitcase.
\n* Be big enough to be displayed on a wall, shelf, or desk at home.
\n* Incorporate all the iconic images of the production – a blue bowler hat, a blue umbrella, boxing gloves, a red balloon and a target.<\/p>\n

Manufacturing Considerations<\/strong><\/h3>\n

* Your product must be manufacturable using a laser cutter or 3D printer.
\n* Single part designs are preferred.
\n* Designs with additional components or assembly are not advised unless the concept is flatpack to be assembled by your product\u2019s user. For example, a pop out puzzle.<\/p>\n
