In-House Fabrication
Our workshops shape the steel frames, fit the translucent fabric, install the lighting, finish the painted details, and test the completed display before packing.
Designed and Made in Zigong
Factory-Direct Lantern Production,from Design to Delivery.
StarsLantern designs and manufactures custom illuminated displays at our Zigong factory for festivals, attractions, seasonal events, public art, and branded installations. One project team coordinates drawings, fabrication, lighting tests, export packing, and installation guidance.

What We Handle
One Team from the First Drawing to the Installation Handover
When a standard decoration will not fit the site or theme, we develop the display around the venue, schedule, visitor route, and delivery requirements. The same team follows the project through design review, fabrication, testing, packing, and installation guidance.
Design Coordination
Themed scenes, animal figures, cultural displays, holiday installations, and route landmarks are developed from an agreed brief and reviewed as a connected visual plan.
Export Packing
Large pieces are divided for transport, labelled, protected, and arranged for container loading. The packing plan can also cover spare parts and the documents agreed for handover.
Project Updates and Handover
Clients can review drawings, progress photographs, lighting tests, packing references, and shipment information with the team responsible for the work.
From Brief to Build
How a Custom Lantern Project Moves Through the Factory
We turn the project brief into buildable drawings, material and lighting decisions, modular steel structures, finished surfaces, packing sections, and installation information. Keeping these stages connected helps the team identify practical issues before the display reaches the venue.
Drawing and Site Review
Sketches, CAD references, site plans, mascot files, or rough ideas help us confirm scale, structure, lighting layout, viewing distance, and installation access before fabrication begins.
Planning for the Venue
Dimensions, materials, colours, viewing angles, and scene placement are adjusted for festivals, city events, malls, parks, resorts, and branded campaigns.
Special Features
A project can include photo points, walk-through structures, mascot scenes, light sculptures, or selected moving elements. For designs built around visible LED outlines rather than fabric-covered forms, see our commercial LED light sculptures.
Display Types
Illuminated Displays for Seasonal Events and Public Spaces
Each display is adapted to its setting, including scale, story, surface finish, lighting, transport sections, and installation method. Explore the custom lantern design process for individual commissions, or see commercial light festival planning when several scenes must work together along one visitor route.
Commercial Christmas Displays
Develop Christmas figures, walk-through light trails, mall scenes, and outdoor holiday displays around the available space and seasonal theme.
View Christmas Displays
Halloween Lantern Displays
Create glowing props, lantern scenes, and optional animatronic effects for Halloween trails, photo areas, and evening attractions.
Explore Event Lighting
Public Festival Landmarks
Use large light sculptures as entrances, cultural-event centrepieces, route markers, or photo landmarks in public spaces.

Why Clients Work Directly with the Production Team
5,000m² Production Facility
Design questions, production updates, and packing decisions can be discussed with the team responsible for the build.
International Delivery Planning
Export packing, container loading, part labels, and installation information are planned around the destination and site schedule.
Materials and Site Requirements
Structural details, weather exposure, component protection ratings, fire-retardant material options, and required documents are reviewed for the agreed project scope.
From Reference to Buildable Plan
Rough ideas, site photographs, and visual references are developed into drawings that account for scale, structure, lighting, and assembly.
Project Workflow
From Project Drawing to Packed Lantern Displays
A rough idea, venue plan, or campaign sketch moves through six practical stages before the finished sections are handed over for installation.
01Project brief: country, venue, event date, size, quantity, indoor or outdoor use.
02Concept and build drawings: theme, story, visitor route, photo zones, references, and practical display scale.
03Engineering review: steel frame, wind exposure, anchoring, cable routing, power, and venue safety requirements.
04Fabrication: steel frame, fabric covering, lighting, surface details, and trial illumination.
05Export packing: split plan, labels, protection, loading sequence, and documents.
06Installation handoff: assembly notes, remote guidance, and site-team communication.

Project Questions
Questions About Working with Our Factory
What makes this different from buying ready-made decorations?
Custom displays are developed around the site, theme, visitor route, deadline, weather exposure, and packing requirements. Ready-made decorations are supplied in existing designs and sizes, so they allow less adjustment for a specific venue.
Can you support outdoor commercial displays?
Yes. For outdoor projects, we review the steel structure, expected weather, anchoring, cable layout, transport sections, and the protection ratings required for the selected electrical components.
What should I send for an accurate quote?
Send the country, venue, event date, target size, quantity, indoor or outdoor use, reference images, route map, and any electrical or site restrictions.
Can you work from CAD drawings or rough concept sketches?
Yes. Send CAD references, sketches, site maps, mascot files, brand guides, or visual references. We will review the structure, materials, lighting, transport sections, and practical production requirements.
Are you a lantern manufacturer or a trading company?
StarsLantern designs and manufactures custom frames, fabric-covered forms, lighting systems, and selected moving features at our Zigong production facility. Clients communicate with the project team that coordinates the drawings, workshop work, testing, and packing.
Can you work as a festival lantern supplier for overseas projects?
Yes. For overseas events, we can provide theme and drawing development, custom fabrication, section labels, export packing, container-loading references, and installation guidance according to the agreed scope.
Can you support branded events and temporary installations?
Yes. We can adapt illuminated scenes, photo points, mascots, and temporary installations for agencies, brand teams, resorts, malls, theme parks, and public events.
What installation information is provided with the shipment?
The handover can include section labels, assembly drawings, packing references, cable information, and project-specific installation notes. Remote guidance or on-site support can be discussed according to the display and destination.
Can the factory produce commercial LED light sculptures as well as fabric lantern displays?
Yes. We can produce exposed LED wireframe sculptures, repeatable product collections, and commissioned illuminated artworks as well as traditional fabric-covered lantern displays. See Commercial LED Light Sculptures when visible LED lines and the steel form are central to the design.
