How It’s Made at Altrum | Handmade Craftsmanship at Altrum

At Altrum, every deal toy is more than just a product, it’s a carefully crafted piece of art. While we embrace the latest advancements in technology to enhance our production process, we know that true excellence comes from the hands of our expert artisans! Each piece that leaves our factory is a testament to decades of experience, passion, and dedication.

Masters of Their Craft

Behind every deal toy is a team of artisans who have spent years—some even decades—honing their skills! Some of our team members have been part of the Altrum family for over 40 years, developing an unmatched expertise in the art of deal toy production. These highly skilled professionals bring their knowledge and attention to detail to every project, ensuring that each award or commemorative piece is finished to perfection.

The Handcrafted Process

While technology assists in many aspects of our work, there are crucial steps in our process where only skilled hands can deliver the best results:

  • Fine Polishing – To achieve the perfect shine and smooth finish, our artisans carefully polish acrylic, wood, and crystal components by hand. This process ensures that each piece has a flawless surface that enhances its elegance.

  • Intricate Assembly – Many deal toys involve multiple elements that must be meticulously put together. Whether it’s aligning a printed piece precisely or securing a delicate 3D element, our team ensures that everything fits perfectly.

  • Detailing & Finishing Touches – From adding hand-painted details to carefully applying custom textures, our artisans know how to bring out the best in every material. Their expertise adds depth, personality, and uniqueness that machine-only production cannot replicate.

More Than Production—True Craftsmanship

At Altrum, we believe that every material, every finish, and every design choice matters. Our team is trained to see beyond the surface, bringing out the best in each piece. It’s this attention to detail that transforms a deal toy from a simple recognition piece into a lasting keepsake—one that tells a story, celebrates a milestone, and represents the success of our clients.

The Perfect Blend of Innovation & Tradition

While we continue to integrate state-of-the-art technology to improve efficiency and precision, we will never compromise on craftsmanship. Technology can enhance the process, but it’s our artisans who give each piece its heart and soul. This balance between innovation and tradition is what sets Altrum apart and ensures that every deal toy we create is not just produced—but crafted.
