How to choose

Start with the audience and the moment — that's the part we enjoy most about a budget brief. A pen handed to an advertising manager in a boardroom needs a different register to a pen handed to 8,000 delegates at an expo, even if the per-unit price is similar. Choose the substrate for how the brand wants to feel in the hand: plastic pens (AU$0.85-$1.80) for volume with punchy pad-printed colour, metal pens (AU$2.40-$6.50) with laser engraving for a more considered register, non-woven totes (AU$1.95-$3.50) for expo volume, rPET totes (AU$2.80-$4.50) when sustainability is part of the story. Branding method changes the price more than people expect. A 1-colour pad print on a pen is the cheapest way to carry a bold logo. A 4-colour screen print on a tote gives you campaign artwork at scale. Full-colour digital on a lanyard or keycord is how you get gradients, photography or a patterned brand mark. Setup is AU$40-$85 per colour, once off — so at 500+ units the setup amortises beautifully. On MOQ: most budget lines start at 100-250 units, with no MOQ on many core items for pilot runs. At 2,000+ expect 25-40% off the 100-qty tier — ask our team for a stepped quote across 100, 500, 1,000 and 2,500. Creativity is what keeps any product on the desk, and at this tier it's the tagline, the colour discipline and the register of the brand that decide whether the pen gets kept or the tote becomes the conference photo. We'll send samples within 48 hours so your creative team can hold the weight, check the print fidelity and lock the brief before artwork goes to plate.
