We have other options. Contact us and we'll search through our database of over 1,000,000 promotional items.
Minimum order quantities vary by item but typically start at 100–500 units. Smaller items like key tags or poker chips may have lower minimums (100–250), while larger items like plush toys or custom cups may require 250–500. Contact us for specific MOQs on your chosen products.
Common methods include screen printing for flat surfaces, pad printing for curved or small items, and heat transfer for full-color designs on fabric or polyester. Some items like metal key tags can be laser engraved. We'll recommend the best method for your product and artwork.
Typical production time is 7–14 business days after artwork approval, depending on order complexity and quantity. Rush service may be available for an additional fee. We recommend ordering at least 3–4 weeks before your event to allow for shipping.
Yes, we offer samples of blank items for a small fee, which is often refunded with a qualifying order. For decorated samples, we can produce a single proof unit. Contact your account manager to arrange sampling.
Many items like Cloud Putty, Nutty Putty, and magic bubbles are made from non-toxic materials and are safe for children over 3 years. However, items with small parts (e.g., key tags, poker chips) pose a choking hazard. Always check product specifications and age recommendations before ordering for kids.
When ordering custom party accessories, focus on items that match your event's tone and audience. For corporate picnics, durable drinkware like the 16 oz The Party Cup® and branded coolies are practical and popular. For trade shows, small items like key tags, poker chips, and magic bubbles draw attendees to your booth without breaking your budget. Employee appreciation events benefit from plush items like Shorties Plush or fun desk toys like Cloud Putty and Nutty Putty.
Party accessories range from disposable to long-lasting. Plastic items like Retro Specs and light-up yo-yos are lightweight and cost-effective for high-volume giveaways. Metal key tags and poker chips offer a premium feel and last longer. For children's events, choose non-toxic materials: Cloud Putty and Nutty Putty are silicone-based and safe, while magic bubbles use non-staining solution. Always verify material safety if your audience includes kids.
Most party accessories accept imprint methods suited to their material. Plastic and metal items work well with pad printing or screen printing. Fabric items like linen bags can be screen printed or embroidered. For full-color logos or photos, use heat transfer or sublimation on polyester blends. Consider imprint size limits: small items like key tags and poker chips require simple, bold designs. Order a sample to confirm print quality before placing your bulk order.
Bulk party accessory orders typically start at 100 to 500 units per design, though some items like custom coolies may have lower minimums. Pricing drops significantly as quantity increases — ordering 1,000 units instead of 500 can cut per-unit cost by 20–30%. If you need multiple designs for different events, consider consolidating into one production run to save on setup fees. Wholesale pricing is available for large orders; request a quote for quantities over 2,500.
One frequent error is ordering too few items for a large event. Estimate attendee count and add 10–15% for unexpected demand. Another pitfall is choosing items that require assembly or batteries (like light-up yo-yos) without factoring in the cost of batteries or labor. Also, avoid delicate materials for outdoor events — paper items can tear in rain, and some plastics may warp in heat. Always check lead times: custom decoration adds 7–14 business days, so order early for time-sensitive events.
Finally, consider the unboxing experience. Branded party accessories in a custom linen bag or small sweets tin create a cohesive gift that feels more valuable than loose items. For corporate events, pairing a drinkware item with a fun accessory like Retro Specs can turn a simple giveaway into a photo-worthy moment that extends your brand's reach on social media.
