O’Brien in Victoria
O’Brien wanted a giveaway that didn’t just carry the logo — it was the product. So we tooled a bespoke mould in the shape of their boiler unit and printed it in full colour, contact details and all, for the team in Victoria.

A quick look at how the O’Brien order came together.
Make the product the giveaway
Most stress balls are a sphere with a logo slapped on. O’Brien wanted the opposite: a giveaway that looked like what they do. Their team pictured a miniature of one of their own boiler units — something a tradie or facilities manager would keep on the desk, squeeze in a meeting, and instantly associate with the brand. That meant no off-the-shelf shape would do.
“The stress balls turned out exactly how we hoped — we’ll absolutely be reaching out to Cubic Promote again for future projects.”
A bespoke mould, printed in full colour
Hannah Calvo and Mary Haycell Aguirre worked from O’Brien’s boiler design to tool a custom mould, then printed each unit in full colour — including the phone number and email — so the finished ball is a working brand cue, not just a toy. Custom tooling is the fiddly part of a job like this, and we hit a small snag near the end; the team worked through it with O’Brien and still landed the run inside the agreed budget and timeline.
A desk fixture that sells the product
The full run reached the Victoria team on time and on budget, and the finished shape did exactly what a custom mould should: it turned a giveaway into a talking point. A branded object that mirrors the actual product earns far more shelf life than a printed sphere — and O’Brien were pleased enough to place a repeat order. Read more about O’Brien.
