Production Technology

The overall design of the trophy has to be high-quality and iconic. First, there is a box for the trophy. Kraft paper is used as both the cover and inner protection for the box. Next comes the second layer of the inner part of the box which is made with thick and hard cardboard. The cardboard is black in colour with a rough texture which exudes an elegant feeling. As for printing, only a stamping of the silver logo is needed. The making of the trophy involves the welding of pure alloy with an electroplated surface. From opening the first layer of the box to the unveiling of the trophy, one definitely will have an unforgettable unboxing experience.

Design Challenge

For both designs of the packaging and trophy, the main challenge is to create a unique design, which symbolises one’s glory of success. Only premium materials are used for the box packaging whereas the pure alloy for the trophy is imported from China as it is not readily available in Malaysia.

Research

Much effort and consideration have been put into the research for both designs of the packaging and the trophy itself. The overall design narrative is to advocate the success of esteemed leaders and their professional contributions to society. Hence, a memorable and impeccable award design is created to reflect one’s prestigious identity.
