TIME IT TAKES ZIGONG LANTERN GROUP TO CREATE LANTERNS
It depends on the size, how many sets, complexity, and design. If it’s for a large scale exhibition,
it could take as long as 7-9 months, including the designing process, materials purchasing,
factory fabrication, container shipping, and installation.
AMOUNT WE CAN PRODUCE
Zigong Lantern Group can produce an unlimited amount of lantern art. We have a very large group
of skilled artisans, and constantly hiring in order to continue our production expansion model.
Every year, we gain more projects; meanwhile retaining our existing clients. Hence, we constantly
hire, and never experience a time where we are unable to produce. We keep up with the market, we
retain our existing clients, and we constantly gain more clients. We are able to produce
unlimited supply of lanterns, at any time. Since everything is custom designed and produced, we
do need enough time for production and shipping. We receive phone calls and emails constantly
asking for lanterns for a festival they are having in 30 days; and unfortunately, that’s not how
it works; it must be prepared and organized well in advance. You cannot produce an award winning
holiday lights program 30 days before your event begins.
TYPES WE CAN PRODUCE
Zigong Lantern Group can produce anything, with any exterior our client prefer. We generally use
Silk or Glass exterior. Our design team is made up of expert designers, with substantial
experience. We will only operate with the best designers, and we can even produce a lantern based
on receiving 1 photo or image. We can simply design based on an image, and replicate it, into a
lantern. There is nothing we can’t do.
INDUSTRY LEADER
Unfortunately, even though Zigong Lantern Group® was an international originals, there are
other smaller groups that are trying to imitate our exhibitions. They are not the same, and their
lanterns are definitely not the same either. We invest substantially inside our design,
materials, and quality. We also focus more on ethics, and environment. We did take notice that
these other smaller groups try to use names and slogans similar to ours, and even tried to claim
some of our previous exhibitions to land partnerships worldwide. This is one reason why we had to
trademark our brand name and slogans worldwide. Their models are based strictly on profit, using
low quality materials, low quality designs, cookie-cutter designs, low wage staff, and ultimately
reducing the value of authentic Chinese Lanterns. If you care about the art, then, please join
ZIGONG LANTERN GROUP® and help us to continue to build our brand and image worldwide. We
know our
product is superior, highest quality, authentic lantern art, and the original overseas lantern
arts exhibition.
CHOOSE PARTNERSHIP OVER PURCHASING
Absolutely, the best way to obtain lanterns from Zigong Lantern Group is through a partnership
model, as it’s substantially more beneficial for our beloved partners and clients worldwide. We
do purchase options, but definitely not the best option for any location, unless you choose a
glass exterior. Yes, we do want to sell lanterns, and we don’t mind, but we are a very honest and
direct company; lanterns are very delicate, and there is high probability for damage during
transit if being shipped internationally, no matter how well it’s packed. Lantern Art is also
very expensive, as each individual lantern is handcrafted. Keep in mind, that this delicate
artwork is also being showcased outdoors, and enduring all sorts of weather conditions that will
require constant maintenance, and wear/tear; hence, the life or duration of an outdoor silk
lantern is limited. Silk lanterns that are indoors will last a very long time though. Glass
exterior is the best exterior, and is more of a permanent structure. However, the Partnership option
is the best option, as Zigong Lantern Group will require no upfront fee, and will create a
superior, high quality, holiday lights experience for your location, at no cost to you. There is
a ticket revenue share through a very reasonable and fair partnership model. We also deploy an
expert team of artisans and electricians to your site, to complete the entire installation, and
conduct maintenance during the exhibition, from start to finish. If you do encounter a lantern
company that claims their lanterns will last forever or extended period of time, please be aware
there is no such thing, unless the exterior is Glass.
ENVIRONMENT
We only use LED bulbs, all environmentally safe. We also reduce waste every year, and proud of
what we accomplished. For example, our competitors are known for large amounts of waste; however,
we developed as a company, to reduce waste, by acquiring our own factory inside the USA. When our
exhibitions are complete, we simply break down our exhibition and re-use materials. This is very
helpful to the environment and always thinking about ways to consider the environment.
RETURN POLICY
Zigong Lantern Group will accept returns, within 10 days after receiving the product. However,
since everything is customized, the buyer is responsible for shipping cost of returned goods, as
well as a 30% restocking fee, as the lanterns will experience damage during transit, and will not
be returned in its original condition. Further, the lanterns we create are also custom made per
unique client/location, and would have to be resold as is or broken down to form another lantern.
Hope you understand.

BULK PURCHASE ONLY
The cost of producing one lantern is substantial, and the shipping, billing, and logistics
involved would not be able to work. We can only accept bulk purchases or large scale exhibition
partnerships. If you do find a lantern producer who claims they will sell you 1 lantern, buyer
beware. I can assure you, it is a returned item, used item, or incredibly poor quality.
