St. Regis Singapore
The hotel’s red packet design this year features a weaved satin texture upon which a bird and peony design is printed on, resembling thread embroidery. Thick paper stock makes this a luxurious affair.
Schroders
Asset management company Schroders presents something unique this year – with an envelop hot-stamped in bronze, with a die-cut bull design on the flipside. Comes in teal and yellow, with each stack bound with a crimson leather strap.
Pan Pacific Singapore
For those that want something understated and classic – Pan Pacific Singapore has a crimson, plush red envelope hot-stamped with a golden peony.

Manulife
Manulife’s red packets this year comes in a deep burgundy box with a golden floral motif, all printed on velvety, matte stock.

Ion Orchard
The mall’s red packets come patterned with an adorable mandarin orange and lion’s head design – along with a matching bag.

Krisshop
With a motif as iconic as the batik print of an SQ Girl’s kebaya, it’d be remiss if Krisshop didn’t use it in their red packet. This year’s design featured the batik print behind a golden Chinese window – printed on crimson stock.
Bentley
The luxury British marque’s red packet comes with an elegant cross hatch pattern on matte card stock with a gold-trimmed fold on the flipside.
