CHL PRODUCTS serves your needs for custom manufacturing, with a focus on collectible and high-end promotional products. We work with corporate marketers, studios, and designers in turning movie, sport, and music stars, animation, and corporate brand characters into collectible items, including those for Esquire, SunBum, KnuckleBonz, Bigshot Toyworks, and MTV Canada.

What we are good at?

• Prototyping. We are foremost a design and prototyping firm, which means attention to quality and details. The core of this capacity is our skillful and specialized sculptors, whose works you may see and judge throughout this website. This is significant because product prototyping is really key in the crafted business; simply, it is where a good (or bad) product begins.
  
  
• Production control. We run our production and quality assurance with focus and flexibility. While maintaining product development and test runs in-house, we are not limited to our own facilities for mass production, meaning we have the ability in partnering with other established factories. Not only this nimbleness helps us focus, it is also a strategy that keeps us strong in the volatile environment.
  
  
• Communications. With our presence in the US, we provide the convenience for clients to communicate with us in their own term. This is essential for the success of outsourcing as, simply, it requires constant inputs from both ends to make a good product. Many clients appreciate our insights about manufacturing which help optimizing their product design, quality, tooling, cost, and safety.
  
  
• We can provide turnkey services, from designing (with your idea), prototyping, production, packaging, to delivery (optional).

What you need to prepare?

• Basic knowledge. Successful production requires knowledgeable communications; oftentime, however, we received inquiries like "making a few vinyl prototypes", for which we just don't have time to explain individually that vinyl product requires expensive molds and machine so is not feasible doing small quanity. To help understand issues like this, we have put together some discussions in the "FAQ" section, so you may check it out.
  
  
• Clear design. Custom production starts from YOUR design; therefore, it's important to convey your idea clearly. Depending on application, design can be prototype, graphic artworks, or photos. In many cases, it is worthy to have a professional to draw it out.
  
  
• Quantity. Unlike individual sculpture (which we also do), regular production requires quantity. Besides cost concern (you want to achieve certain price level), there is technical consideration as mentioned in the vinyl case above.

How we proceed?

Once having your design, we will run a cost estimate and provide quote for the project and, with your approval, it would be our job to ensure you a quality production.
