Recognition made from your organization's materials

Turn Green into Growth

The DelMuro Designs team builds custom awards, gifts, and merchandise from your reclaimed materials — designed around your identity, your values, your mission. You no longer have to choose from the pre-made items mass produced overseas.

Every program includes a How It's Made video for your events, presentations, and platforms. We look forward to working with your organization to create the core alignment and connection that drives loyalty, retention, and sales.

The Challenge

How do we grow your most important relationships, your sustainability efforts, and business results at the same time.

The most powerful appreciation goes beyond recognition — it binds values in action to emotional connection and alignment, until it becomes a belief. An identity. A sense of belonging to something larger they want to be part of with you.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We can reshape and transform many types of plastic, aluminum, cardboard, wood, and glass bottles. We will work with your team on what materials we can help you divert and upcycle from your organization. This is a part of the first phase of our proven process: discovery and strategic alignment, before we move to the design phase.

For annually recurring projects we do offer a storage option for your materials.

Absolutely. We have worked with many large organizations and pro or college teams and are very used to working with your exact brand shape, your fonts, and more.

Our operation is built to be able to make each nameplate or award custom for the recipient.

We have done dropships in the hundreds for a single project. All we need is a spreadsheet with the recipients' names and addresses and your FedEx or UPS number, and we will take care of the rest and provide you with tracking numbers when they have shipped.

Our company focuses on annually recurring programs with organizations using their brand guide, their materials, and a focus on their depth of connection with their VIP relationships. So the discovery, design, and prototype ramp-up process often takes 5 weeks or more depending on revisions and complexity. Once this is done we can make your 100% custom and unique awards for your annual ceremonies, products for your company store, and gifts for your VIP clients, donors, sponsors, staff, and others that drive your organization's goal achievement. We are the opposite of a catalog with foreign-made products ready to decorate on.

We can handle high volumes and have an in-house staff and equipment to do so. Our current minimum is $5,000 for a custom project.

Yes, we work with organizations and are very conscious of their budgets. Part of our proven process is to discuss what you have done in the past and paid, and map where you want to go and what you can afford. We have a vetting process to make sure that we can help you accomplish your goals. Our special sauce is combining USA made + eco + presentation and social content that helps show those staff and clients who drive your business that you are fighting the good fight with them. Not implied action with words but tangible proof of values in action.

We will supply you with a finished award, gift, or project hero shot in the shop — a hero shot with a white background and drop shadow, a 60-second edited how-it's-made video, and a 4x6 custom printed card to celebrate the wins. Many orgs also ask for custom printed water tape for their boxes and other options we can additionally facilitate.

This would be a rare request, since it's the photos and video that help boost the emotional connection at the ceremonies and unlock sharing options online for you and your VIPs to post and celebrate as social proof of values lived. If you want to forgo the photos and video to save on per-unit cost, we probably aren't the best fit for you, since this is a core piece of the solutions we provide.

We have worked with enterprise-level corporations, pro and college teams and leagues, financial institutions, government entities, charities, and many others.
