Quick Start Guide
How To Streamline Your Deal Toy Project
When a closing date is looming, speed and clarity matter. Here’s the simple info that helps us move fast, quote accurately, and deliver a custom deal toy that is truly worthy of what it represents — without the back-and-forth.
The 5 details that unlock a smooth quote and design
1) Final deal text (or a draft)
We don’t need perfection to begin — a working draft is enough. Knowing names, roles, and the transaction line gives us the right hierarchy and space planning from the start.
2) Logos for each firm (vector preferred)
Vector files (AI, EPS, or SVG) give you sharp, accurate branding on Lucite, crystal, or metal. If you only have PNGs right now, send them — we can still start layouts and request vector later.
3) Estimated quantity
Whether it’s 10, 50, or 200, quantity affects pricing, timelines, and production paths. We’ll advise where per-piece economics and scheduling look best.
4) Budget per piece (ballpark is fine)
A range helps us steer you to the best materials and techniques — Lucite embedment vs. crystal, hybrid metal accents, special finishes — without iterative redesigns.
5) Delivery date & location(s)
Tell us where the awards need to land and when. We build a schedule backward from your milestone so everything arrives with breathing room before the moment that matters.
What you don’t need to worry about:
Materials, manufacturing, and layout are our job. Share the basics above and we’ll translate your goals into precise 3D renderings, approve the spec, and run production with quality control at every step.
The Polaris Process
Concept → Design → Approval → Fabrication → QA → Shipping. Clear steps, clear timelines — and rush paths when you need them.
