Custom brass ornaments can tell your story, support marketing efforts, and make people feel remembered. I always say, you wanna be classy for with brass-y (Ron Burgundy voice). To be serious, brass should be kept. It also looks more impressive than a lot of the Custom Ornaments people see online. Nothing cheap about a custom brass ornament with enamel color and a satin ribbon.

Why Custom Brass Ornaments?

Brass has a natural golden tone that looks more premium than bare metal. It takes engraving well, works for flat designs, and preserves the details you spent time on. If you are creating Christmas decor for a city, school, or brand, brass lends a sense of officialness rather than a temporary feel. It also pairs well with enamel colors, turning your engraved ornament into a colorful masterpiece. Brass has a heavy feel and can be produced in custom shapes, unlike other materials.

It is also strong enough to be packed, shipped, and stored. People toss tree decoration pieces into plastic bins. Brass survives. That means your gift will be back on the holiday tree the following year. That also means you can create an annual ornament series. We see this a lot for major corporations and businesses. Each year, your employees will be excited to see this year’s brass ornament. Build brand awareness and turn employee retention into a success story every season. Wait a minute, yes, this is the season of giving, but why not create a revenue stream for your gift shop and sell brass ornaments during the holiday months?

Customization Options That Make Them “Yours” 🎄

Shape, cutouts, and intricate line work

We can match a building, a logo, or even a mascot. Custom shapes are not a problem with brass. We can add small interior cutouts to make the piece feel lighter and more decorative. This is great for tree decoration or wreath themes, family ornament sets, and even cat ornaments or bell ornament designs. Last season, we produced a penguin ornament set as a fundraiser that was out of this world!

Ribbons, cords, and gift-ready packaging

The hanging piece matters. A simple cord is fine, but a matched ribbon in your color makes it look like you planned. Add a gift tag and a gift box, and suddenly it becomes a Christmas gift that can be mailed. Our customer service team can guide you through packaging options and inform you about what is in stock. We offer everything from cardboard boxes to elegant velvet boxes, in a variety of different colors and sizes.

Personalization for employees, members, or VIPs

If you’d like to make this a custom keepsake, consider adding an engraved name, date, or ‘Baby’s First Christmas’ on the back. Families love that. Companies love it for staff. You can even do a family ornament run and include the family name. That level of personalization is amazing, espcially for businesses. You can expect your employees to keep that ornament for a lifetime.

When to Use Custom Brass Ornaments

When ordering custom brass ornaments in bulk, brass is king and suitable for a variety of occasions. Corporate teams can send them as a Christmas Gift to top clients. Schools and nonprofits can sell them as fundraisers. Families can make matching family ornament sets to gift to everyone on their family tree. You can even do Christmas wedding favors in brass, so guests get something they will actually hang on the tree instead of putting in a drawer. Outside of bulk orders like this, brass may not be the answer, as each custom brass ornament requires a custom mold. The sweet spot for brass ornaments is to order at least 50 pieces.

Another Success Story. A city tourism group offered a brass Christmas Tree Ornament, provided free shipping on multiple purchases, and released a new design each year. The spark caught fire, the ornaments became a collectible within the community, and they expanded into retail, providing a new stream of income for the group. Today, everyone in their small town looks forward to the ornament drop.
