...businesses need to be able to create, design and deliver innovative new ideas or "game changers".
DESIGN
Pursuit of Innovation through Design
The evolution of promotional products has determined that it’s no longer satisfactory just to be a competent sourcing agent who is able to control the manufacturing of premiums at the lowest cost. Rather, to be a true leader in this industry, businesses need to be able to create, design and deliver innovative new ideas or “game changers”. Creative Products believes that we are continually doing this with at least 2-3 latest concepts that we believe will innovate the promotional industry. One of our passions is targeting practical solutions through designs that actually enhance the world we live in. We believe this also allows our clients to be truly seen as innovators.
360 Degree Creative Team
One of our major strengths is our 360 degree creative team. We have the same ability as any agency with a full graphic design team that can deliver services like product design, mock ups, POS and packaging design solutions. Creative Products are experienced in the area of 3D printing, which is the future of developing prototype concepts at rapid speed and low cost. In the past, any new prototype would require a great expense and/or a lengthy period of time. Now, with our in-house 3D Printer (The Makerbot Replicator 2) and expert team in 3D product / industrial design, we can produce physical prototype samples within days at minimal expense. This gives our clients and us opportunities to really test the design boundaries and potentially develop new ideas that will change the industry. We are strategically focused on continuing to evolve with the market and are dedicated to meeting our clients’ merchandise requirements whilst leading the market in innovation and creativity.
Creative Products Enterprises is a Design Practice Member of the DIA. This serves as a valuable tool for us to constantly analyse how the creative industry is evolving and in turn, how we can evolve together with our clients.
...ensuring our company is held to the highest ethical standards, not only complying with all relevant legislation (local and international), but also looking for ways to exceed minimum requirements.
COMPLIANCE
Over the last 5-10 years a key change to the supply of manufactured products has been the requirement of ethical and social compliance. For any global corporate company, a central requirement is evidence that any products bearing their logos have met very high compliance regulations.
Creative Products Enterprises is dedicated to conducting our business in ways which benefit not only our company, employees and clients, but all our stakeholders and the wider community. This means ensuring our company is held to the highest ethical standards, not only complying with all relevant legislation (local and international), but also looking for ways to exceed minimum requirements. This is demonstrated through our commitment to organisations such as Sedex and BSCI. With BSCI, we are also an actual accredited manufacturing member which means we have passed stringent audits in ethical and social compliance manufacturing. Global companies like Coca Cola require the minimum attainment of BSCI for any of their merchandise products. We are also working towards helping our other manufacturing partners (vendors) to be at minimum BSCI approved so we can be assured that all products sourced or manufactured for our
clients meet world best practice in this area.

We have seek to contribute no matter how small back to the community...
COMMUNITY
Creative Products Enterprises understands it has not just a responsibility to be a successful business but also a responsibility to its stake holders, staff and clients to be a better socially responsible company.
We have seek to contribute no matter how small back to the community and this year the staff dedicated its time and energy in helping those less fortunate at the Rev Bill Crews Foundation. The Rev Bill Crews Foundation does a wonderful job in helping hundreds and thousands of people on a nightly basis who are either homeless or disadvantaged. Our team gave some of their time to hand out some warmer clothing in the past Winter. We are proud to hopefully have made some small contribution to the improvements of people’s lives and have now made a commitment to keep working with the Foundation in efforts to contribute.
