Routes

Three ways to get your race ducks ready

Start from a stock style, open a new mold only when the event needs its own shape, then add the race numbers and event print.

A

Start from a stock mold

Stock molds are shared across buyers and ready to run. Add the event name, logo or a short message; a recolour or a printed mark avoids a new mold.

B

Open a new mold

Start from your design or sketch. A 3D print locks the shape and runs about 3% to 5% larger than the molded part; then a vinyl sample and a production sample. A mold you commission belongs to you.

C

Add numbers and event print

Race numbers are small located artwork, so pad printing is usual; UV printing handles multi-colour detail down to one or two millimetres. The printed event name is what people keep.

Styles

Ducks that work on race day

Race organisers usually order one numbered duck and one plain duck for the prize table. Community festivals, charity races and corporate team-building days size the order differently; the cards below cover the usual jobs around a race day.

Why LZENGO

What you get on every race order

The same four things whether you order a few hundred ducks for one race or a full run for a season of events.

Our own molds, our own line

Stock styles are ready to run; if no stock style fits, we cut the tool and mold the ducks ourselves.

A proof before anything is molded

Shape, body colour, outfit, logo position and size are approved on the duck first.

A sample in your hands

A vinyl sample in your colour, then a production sample sprayed and printed before the bulk run.

Cartons and race dates planned

1,000 of our 6 cm ducks ship as two 45 × 37 × 40 cm cartons, around 13 kg gross each; air or sea is counted backwards from race day.

Seven checkpoints before the carton

They group into four stops between the brief and the carton, from the mold decision to the shipping date.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask first

How Many Ducks Do We Need for a Race?

It depends on ticket sales. Tell us the target number and we quote the run, with room to add later. As a packing reference, 1,000 of our 6 cm ducks ship as two 45 × 37 × 40 cm cartons, around 13 kg gross each; the 8 cm duck uses the 45 × 37 × 45 cm carton.

Can Each Duck Carry a Number?

Yes. Numbers or a print can be set for race day, and the numbering can follow your ticket list. Numbers are small located artwork, so pad printing is the usual route; UV printing handles multi-colour artwork and finer detail.

Can We Get Ducks Before the Race Date?

Yes. Book early and the ducks arrive ahead of the date, so there is time to number and pack them. Air freight suits a fixed event date and a smaller run; sea freight suits volume and a schedule with room in it, and the schedule is counted backwards from your date through artwork, samples, production, packing, pickup, customs and last-mile delivery.
