Ace Creative Products Limited

Imagine how dull and plain life will be if we are living in a flat world. We all take experiencing the depth of reality in the ‘three dimensional world’ for granted. Anything composed with various 3D embossed effects can be vividly astonishing. Imagine being shocked by the stunning 3D effects of the movie poster character looking so bold as if they are reaching out right at you or the 3D Japanese beef looking so authentic and “tasty” that you can’t help salivating. If you want to make your products and promotional messages stand out from the crowd, look no further. Here is a Hong Kong-based company capable of doing just that.

Established in 1990, Ace Creative Products Limited is now one of the world’s specialists for 3D embossed products made of plastic materials. “We aim at supplying high-quality and creative 3D embossed products at affordable prices to our customers from all over the world,” says Mr. Phillip Cheung, general manager of Ace Creative.

To date, Mr. Cheung is one of the pioneers to bring in the 3D embossed products to Hong Kong and China. Not to get confused with lenticular products, 3D embossed items allow you not only to see the 3D embossed effect but to “feel” it as well. 3D embossed products, which require special production techniques and licensing procurement, were less known in the early 1990s. Mr. Cheung has built on his foresight in the industry and started up the business. From then on, he has been rolling out thousands of licensed artworks.

The 3D products specialist works to its very best to fascinate its customers with fabulous and excellently embossed products. “We devote the utmost endeavour and creativeness to all of our works. We strive to work out the best printing and moulding. Most importantly, we use the best raw materials. For example, the ink we use is of the rank that will give the safest and highest quality results possible,” Mr. Cheung tells MegAsia.

Ace Creative carries a very broad range of 3D embossed products. These include: 3D embossed licensed medical posters and anatomical indexes, which form the most sought-after items of the company; 3D desk charts, educational and informational posters, wall calendars, promotional items, such as danglers and displays, notebooks, embossed packaging, magnetic memo boards, greeting cards and so on. “For us, almost any design can be made into 3D,” says Mr. Cheung.

The 3D embossed medical posters represent probably the most important segment and the best sellers for Ace Creative, which has bought over 200 licensed designs from all over the world. “All of them are for medical use. That’s why serious production with extremely high precision is required to manufacture them. Missing one single alphabetical letter of the medical jargon can give rise to severe consequences,” highlights Mr. Cheung. Ace Creative’s 3D products are also perfect for both promotion and retail purposes.

Armed with ample experience and specialised expertise in the field, Ace Creative is able to constantly come up with new products and innovative ideas. “Our R&D team is commissioned to think up new product ideas, designs and research new materials to ensure that our products are up-to-date in the market,” says Mr. Cheung.

“We have our own production lines at our factory in Guangzhou, China. Printing ink and raw materials are imported from overseas to ensure quality. One advantage of Ace Creative is that we are able to do everything from start to finish in-house, giving us high flexibility on delivery time, pricing and ability to innovate new products,” elaborates Mr. Cheung on the company’s strength.

Ace Creative has its target markets all over the world. “We are unique in the sense that we are one of the largest manufacturers of 3D embossed items among a handful of companies in the world that can meet the high quality standards,” says Mr. Cheung.

To differentiate its products from the competitors’, Ace Creative has resorted to high standard of quality control. “From the printing to the moulding as well as packaging, we only use imported materials which are tested on a regular basis to ensure only the highest quality is shipped. All our products have obtained international recognition. For the US market, we have obtained ASTM, while for Europe, we have EN-71. The production of 3D embossed products is an art to us and we feel proud that we are able to deliver quality products to our customers,” Mr. Cheung claims.

To further gain a lead in the competition, Ace Creative stresses quality together with innovation. “We don’t just do posters; rather, we do a huge variety of 3D embossed items. Also, we understand our customers very well and try to provide the best service. Treasuring customers’ feedback and goodwill is one of Ace Creative’s core business practices. Our staff has established good rapport with customers. We have achieved steady growth over the years, because we have set high standards for ourselves,” says the general manager.

Looking ahead, Mr. Cheung is positive towards the company’s future. “We have already positioned ourselves strongly in the niche 3D embossed production. I am confident that we will continue to grow by offering even higher quality 3D products to the global market,” the general manager concludes.
