Frequently Asked Questions about Custom LEGO® Brick Corporate Gifts

DD Bricks is a German-owned and managed custom corporate gift company that designs and produces branded gifts built entirely from genuine LEGO® bricks. We operate regional delivery hubs in Germany, the USA, and Thailand to serve the European, American, and Asian markets with fast, localized fulfillment. Every project is designed from scratch by our in-house team — we don't sell catalog sets or modify existing LEGO® products. Our custom sets range from $5 mini builds for large-scale giveaways to $75,000+ executive display models. See what we've built for our clients.

Yes — 100%, without exception. Every element in every DD Bricks set is a genuine LEGO® brick or LEGO® element. We source all parts from official retail channels and trusted secondary markets. We never use third-party clones, imitations, or off-brand bricks. This is non-negotiable and applies to every project regardless of budget or volume.

Our clients include global technology companies, consulting firms, pharmaceutical companies, automotive manufacturers, banks, government agencies, educational institutions, startups, and sports organizations. We have created custom gifts for companies including Allianz, Amazon, Google, NASA, Samsung, Twitch, and many more of the world's top brands. Explore the industries we serve.

Yes. We regularly work with enterprise procurement processes including purchase orders, net-30 and net-60 payment terms, vendor onboarding portals, W-8BEN forms, supplier compliance questionnaires, and formal contracting workflows. If your company requires a specific procurement path, we'll adapt to it. Get in touch and we'll make the process frictionless from your side.

Yes. Every DD Bricks project is designed from scratch — we do not use pre-made catalog sets or modify existing LEGO® products. Our in-house designers handcraft an original model based on your briefing: your brand, your product, your building, your story, or any concept you want to bring to life. The result is a set that is unique to your organization. See examples of past custom builds.

Yes. We frequently recreate company headquarters, factories, products, vehicles, logos, and even abstract brand concepts as buildable models using genuine LEGO® elements. The goal is a recognizable, emotionally engaging representation — not a perfect architectural replica. Most clients are surprised by how accurately we can capture complex shapes within the constraints of LEGO® brick geometry. Browse our portfolio to see samples.

The process has five main stages. First, we hold a briefing call (30–60 minutes) to understand your goals, audience, budget, timeline, and creative vision. Second, our designers create a concept and digital 3D model, typically within 1–2 weeks. Third, you review and provide feedback — most projects go through 2–3 revision rounds. Fourth, once you approve the final design, we move into part sourcing, kitting, and quality control. Fifth, we produce your sets with custom packaging and instructions, then ship globally from the nearest hub. Start with a free consultation.

Yes. Every project includes a detailed digital 3D rendering of your custom model before we source a single brick. You see exactly what the finished set will look like, from every angle, and can request changes before anything is produced. We don't move to production until you've approved the final design. For larger projects, we can also produce a physical prototype sample for review.

To create an accurate initial concept, we need: your brand guidelines (logo, colors, visual identity), the intended audience and occasion, the approximate quantity, your target budget per unit, the delivery date, and any creative references or ideas you already have. If you don't have all of this upfront, that's fine — a 15-minute call is usually enough to fill in the gaps. Book a call here.

We work within the genuine LEGO® color palette, which includes 50+ available shades. In most cases, we can closely match your brand colors. Where exact matching isn't possible, we present options alongside your brand guidelines so you can choose the closest fit. We've successfully aligned with the brand standards of some of the world's most color-sensitive companies.

Absolutely. We routinely work within strict brand guidelines from global companies — including exact Pantone color matching (within LEGO®'s available palette), logo placement rules, approved typography, and packaging standards. If you have a brand book, send it over with your brief. Our designers treat your guidelines as the starting point, not an afterthought.

Yes — that's the whole point. Every DD Bricks set comes with custom-designed, step-by-step building instructions (just like official LEGO® sets). Recipients don't just receive a finished model — they get to construct it themselves, which creates a deeper emotional connection and a memorable experience. Instructions are tested internally before every production run. See examples of the complete set experience.

Yes. Through our Minifigs World service, we create premium custom minifigures branded to your company — from custom-printed torsos featuring your logo to fully bespoke character designs. These make outstanding standalone gifts or add a personal, fun touch to any custom set. Popular for onboarding kits, event giveaways, and executive gifts alike.

Custom corporate gifts built from genuine LEGO® bricks range from approximately $5 per set (simple mini builds for conference giveaways) to $500+ per set (detailed executive-level display models). Most corporate projects fall in the $20–$150 per set range depending on model complexity, piece count, packaging, and quantity. Large-scale display models for lobbies or special occasions can reach $75,000 or more. Contact us for a detailed cost breakdown tailored to your project.

Every DD Bricks quote includes: custom design and 3D rendering, 2–3 rounds of design revisions, sourcing of 100% genuine LEGO® bricks, hand-kitting and quality control, custom step-by-step building instructions, and standard packaging. Premium packaging, branded boxes, custom inserts, and personalized gift notes are available at additional cost and quoted separately. Shipping is quoted based on destination and volume. Request a full itemized quote.

Yes. Every quote we send is itemized and transparent. You'll see the design cost, per-unit brick and kitting cost, packaging cost, and shipping cost as separate line items. There are no hidden fees. If your budget is fixed, we'll design to hit it. Get your free quote here.

Yes. Per-unit pricing decreases significantly at higher volumes because part sourcing and kitting become more efficient. The biggest price drops typically happen at 250, 500, 1,000, and 5,000+ units. We'll show you volume pricing tiers in your initial quote so you can make an informed decision about order size. Ask us about bulk pricing.

Yes — and this is how many clients prefer to work. Tell us your per-unit budget and quantity, and we'll design a model that delivers maximum impact within that range. A skilled designer working within constraints often produces more creative results than an unlimited brief. We'll always tell you honestly what's achievable at a given price point. Share your budget with us.

Most projects take 6–10 weeks from initial briefing to delivery: 1–2 weeks for design and concept approval, 1–2 weeks for revisions and finalization, and 3–6 weeks for part sourcing, kitting, quality control, packaging, and shipping. Larger projects with 5,000+ sets or highly complex designs may require 12–16 weeks. Tell us your deadline and we'll confirm feasibility.

For the best results and pricing, we recommend starting 8–12 weeks before your event or delivery date. If you're working with a tighter window (4–6 weeks), reach out anyway — we can often make it work depending on project complexity and current production capacity. Contact us as early as possible with your event date.

Yes, within reason. If your timeline is tight (3–5 weeks), we can often accelerate production depending on model complexity and current capacity. Rush orders may involve an expedited production fee and may limit design revision rounds. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we have. Get in touch to discuss your timeline.

DD Bricks ships from three regional hubs: Germany (covering Europe, the Middle East, and Africa), the USA (covering the Americas), and Thailand (covering Asia-Pacific). This multi-hub setup means faster, more cost-effective delivery worldwide compared to single-origin suppliers. We handle all customs documentation, bulk logistics, and delivery coordination for international projects. See where we've delivered globally.

Yes. We manage customs documentation and logistics for international deliveries. Custom gifts built from genuine LEGO® bricks are classified as construction toys for customs purposes, with well-established HS codes and a long history of smooth import clearance worldwide. For shipments within the EU single market, there are no customs duties. We can also arrange delivery-duty-paid (DDP) terms if preferred. Ask us about shipping to your region.

Every set goes through a multi-stage quality control process: standardized kitting procedures, weight verification checks, visual inspections, element count verification, and random sampling of completed sets. Building instructions are tested internally before production to ensure a smooth, enjoyable building experience. We maintain detailed production documentation for every project so that reorders are identical to the original run. If anything is ever wrong, our issue resolution process ensures it's fixed fast.

We work through 2–3 design revision rounds as standard in every project, included in the quoted price. If the design direction isn't working, we'll go back to the briefing to realign on goals rather than forcing incremental changes that don't feel right. We don't move to production until you've given explicit approval. Our goal is a design you're genuinely excited about, not one you reluctantly accept. Learn more about how we work.

Unless agreed otherwise, the client owns the custom design created for their project. We are happy to sign NDAs, work-for-hire agreements, and IP assignment documentation — especially for enterprise, confidential, or high-profile projects. We never share client designs publicly without explicit permission. Contact us to discuss confidentiality terms.

Yes. We can contractually guarantee exclusivity so that your specific design is never reused, resold, or repurposed for another client. This is standard practice for flagship projects, executive gifts, and high-visibility campaigns. Exclusivity terms are outlined clearly in the project agreement. Ask us about exclusivity options.

Yes. We offer custom sets built from carefully cleaned, pre-owned genuine LEGO® bricks — an excellent option for sustainability-focused organizations that want to reduce waste without compromising quality. Pre-owned bricks go through thorough cleaning and quality inspection and meet the same building standards as new elements. We also minimize packaging waste and use recyclable materials wherever possible. Ask about our eco-friendly options.

LEGO® bricks are designed for ages 3+ and adhere to strict safety standards. As with all construction toys, small parts are not suitable for very young children. For corporate gifting to adult audiences this is not typically a concern, but we can adjust set designs to use larger elements if needed. Visit our safety information page for full details.

Traditional corporate gifts — branded merchandise, gift cards, wine, food baskets — are consumed or forgotten within days. Custom gifts built from genuine LEGO® bricks are interactive (recipients build them), display-worthy (they sit on desks for months or years), and emotionally engaging. They're also universally appropriate across cultures, dietary restrictions, and personal preferences. In terms of cost-per-impression, a $20 custom set that stays on someone's desk for a year outperforms a $100 gift basket that's gone in a week.

The gifts that stay on desks share three traits: they're personal, interactive, and display-worthy. Custom LEGO® brick gifts check all three — the building experience makes the gift feel earned rather than handed out, and the finished model becomes something people choose to display. We regularly hear from clients whose employees keep their custom sets on desks for years — something that almost never happens with branded mugs, pens, or gift cards.

DD Bricks is one of the most experienced custom LEGO®-brick corporate gift companies globally, with a client roster that includes Allianz, Amazon, Google, NASA, Samsung, and Twitch. What sets us apart: we use only 100% genuine LEGO® bricks (never third-party clones), we design every model from scratch (no catalog sets), we offer all-inclusive pricing from $5 per set, we ship from three regional hubs for fast global delivery, and we have deep experience managing large-scale enterprise projects. Learn more about us.

Absolutely. Custom gifts built from genuine LEGO® bricks are regularly used for board members, C-suite executives, VIP clients, and high-value investors. At higher price points ($100–$500+ per set), the builds are detailed, sophisticated, and presented in premium packaging. The interactive nature of the gift actually works in your favor — executives appreciate something thoughtful and creative rather than another generic luxury item they don't need. See client appreciation gift examples.

Yes — and this is one of the strongest advantages of LEGO®-brick gifts. Custom sets have no dietary restrictions, no religious or cultural sensitivities, no gender assumptions, and no size or preference guesswork. LEGO® is recognized and loved globally, making it one of the few corporate gift formats that works across every culture, region, and recipient demographic without the risk of offending anyone. See how we serve clients across industries and regions.

The most common use cases we see: employee onboarding and welcome kits, client appreciation and relationship gifts, trade show and conference giveaways, team building and innovation kits, company milestone celebrations (IPOs, anniversaries, product launches), holiday and end-of-year gifting, leadership and promotion recognition, and remote employee appreciation. Explore all use cases.

Yes. Conference and trade show giveaways are one of our most popular use cases. Mini builds starting from $5 per set make large-scale giveaways achievable — even for events with thousands of attendees. Custom branded sets are the booth giveaway that people actually keep, display, and talk about. See event and trade show gift examples.

Yes — and this is one of the fastest-growing use cases we see. Custom gifts built from genuine LEGO® bricks are ideal for remote teams because they ship directly to home addresses, create a shared experience even when people are in different time zones, and provide a tangible connection to the company. Many clients use them for virtual event kits, remote onboarding packages, and distributed team celebrations.

Yes. Custom sets built from genuine LEGO® bricks are increasingly used in account-based marketing (ABM) and direct mail campaigns. A physical LEGO® brick set in a direct mail package has significantly higher open and response rates than standard mailers. We've helped marketing teams create prospecting kits, campaign launch gifts, and customer engagement packages designed to drive meetings and pipeline. Talk to us about your campaign.

We work across virtually every sector. Our most active industries include technology & IT, finance & fintech, healthcare & pharma, engineering & manufacturing, real estate & construction, education & training, entertainment & media, and transportation & mobility. Each industry has distinct gifting moments and audiences, and we design accordingly.

The minimum order at DD Bricks is 100 sets. This applies to all custom projects because each one involves bespoke design, individual part sourcing, hand-kitting, quality control, and custom packaging. For very small quantities (under 100), the per-unit economics typically don't work for either party. If you need fewer than 100 sets, we're happy to discuss whether a project still makes sense for your situation.

Yes. For larger or more complex projects, we can produce a physical prototype sample before full production begins. This allows you to see and hold the finished product, test the building experience, and evaluate the packaging before committing to volume. Prototype production typically adds 1–2 weeks to the timeline and may involve a sample fee depending on project scope. Request a sample or book a call to discuss.

Easy. Once a design is approved, we store the complete specifications — parts list, instructions, packaging templates, and production documentation — indefinitely. Reorders ship faster because there's no design phase, and per-unit pricing often decreases at higher cumulative volumes. Many clients reorder quarterly or annually for recurring programs like onboarding kits, holiday gifts, or event giveaways. Contact us to place a reorder.
