Project Overview
When Nando's required bespoke acrylic drink stirrers for a promotional brand activation, the objective was to create a product that reflected the brand's fun, vibrant personality while enhancing the overall customer experience.
The custom heart-shaped stirrers were designed to become more than just drink accessories—they were created as an extension of the campaign itself, adding another memorable branded touchpoint throughout the event.
Manufactured entirely in-house by Printlux, every stirrer combined premium materials with precision craftsmanship, helping bring the activation to life.
The Brief
Nando's wanted a promotional product that would naturally integrate into the customer journey while reinforcing the campaign's bold and recognisable visual identity.
The project required:
- 1,000 bespoke heart-shaped acrylic drink stirrers
- Signature red acrylic to reflect the Nando's brand
- Precision laser-cut finish
- Premium quality suitable for hospitality environments
- Fast turnaround production
- Consistent quality across the entire order
The finished products needed to feel fun, eye-catching and instantly recognisable while maintaining the premium finish expected from a national brand.
Our Solution
Using our production facilities in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, Printlux manufactured all 1,000 drink stirrers in-house.
Each stirrer featured:
- Premium red acrylic
- Bespoke heart-shaped design
- Precision laser cutting
- Smooth polished finish
- Durable construction for event use
- Individually quality checked before dispatch
By manufacturing everything ourselves, we maintained complete control over quality, ensuring every stirrer was finished to the same exceptional standard.
The Results
The completed drink stirrers became an integral part of the activation, appearing throughout the event in customer drinks, event photography and social media content.
The project demonstrated how a simple branded accessory can create repeated opportunities for brand interaction while encouraging guests to engage with the campaign both in person and online.
The finished products delivered:
✔ 1,000 bespoke acrylic drink stirrers
✔ Manufactured entirely in-house
✔ Fast turnaround production
✔ Premium laser-cut finish
