Best for
Choose fast promotional products if your moment is last-minute conference and event kits, campaign launches with moving dates or press drops and influencer seeding.
Last-minute conference and event kits
Stocked lanyards, non-woven conference bags, branded pens and drink bottles decorated in 1-4 business days — enough to outfit a delegate floor when the RSVPs land higher than planned.
Campaign launches with moving dates
Full-colour digital print on rPET totes, stickers and notebooks turns around faster than traditional screen print — same finish, same tactile weight, half the lead time. Speedy turnaround, beautifully finished.
Press drops and influencer seeding
Small-batch creative rush runs of 50-200 units — engraved metal pens, enamel mugs, tone-on-tone notebooks — kitted and split-shipped to multiple addresses on a timed release.
Staff onboarding waves
When the new cohort starts Monday, we can have branded drink bottles, tote bags, notebooks and a welcome card on desks Friday. The opening moment that sets the tone for the first year.
Awards nights, speaker gifts and VIP moments
Laser-engraved pens, debossed leather journals and gift-boxed drinkware finished in 3-5 business days — the considered piece that arrives in time, not the compromise you settled for.
“We briefed on Tuesday for a Monday event and the delegate packs landed Friday afternoon, beautifully packed. The Sense2 team made it feel effortless — genuinely the kind of partnership every brand manager hopes for.”
“Our launch date moved forward by ten days and I thought we'd have to scale back the merch. Sense2 turned the whole kit around in four business days, exactly on brand — delegates commented on them all weekend.”
“Customers consistently rate Sense2 for turning urgent briefs into something that still feels considered — clear proofs, beautifully finished product, and delivery that always lands on time.”

How to choose
Start with the deadline, then work backwards through the branding method — that's the part we enjoy most about a rush brief. The fastest turnarounds sit on products we already stock decorated-ready: pens, drink bottles, lanyards, non-woven totes, stickers, notebooks and caps. If the product is in our Sydney warehouse and the artwork is print-ready, we can be shipping inside 48-72 hours on single-colour screen or pad print. Branding method drives speed more than people expect. One-colour screen print on canvas or non-woven is the quickest route for logos with clean linework. Pad print handles small curved areas (pen barrels, bottle caps, keyring fobs) in the same window. Laser engraving on metal pens, drink bottles and leather tags turns around in 3-5 business days and reads as premium — the right choice when the gift has to feel considered, not rushed. Full-colour digital print and heat transfer open up gradients, photography and multi-colour campaign artwork without the setup time of multi-screen print runs. For colour-critical briefs, send the Pantone references with the artwork. Our project managers will flag anything the express window can't honour before you commit — no surprises at proof stage. If the brief lands with no brand guidelines, our in-house design studio can mock up two or three directions inside a day so the creative lead has something to sign off on. On MOQ: express runs typically sit at 50-500 units, with no MOQ on many items for small creative rush pieces. For volume briefs (1,000+) we'll stage the delivery — first tranche inside the express window to cover the launch, balance to follow on standard lead time. That's how we protect the creative without blowing the budget on air freight. Always ask for a sample when the timeline allows. Forty-eight hours to your desk. Creativity is what keeps any product on the desk long after the campaign closes — and the sample is where that decision gets made.
Pricing guidance
Pricing rule of thumb: express branding doesn't carry a significant premium on our 400+ core SKUs — the speed is built into the stock model. At 100 units with a 1-colour print, express pens sit around AU$1.20-$3.50, express lanyards AU$2.50-$4.80, express drink bottles AU$6-$18, express notebooks AU$4-$14 and express rPET totes AU$2.80-$4.50. Setup is AU$40-$85 per colour, once off. Laser engraving adds AU$1.50-$3.50 per unit. Full-colour digital print adds AU$0.35-$0.80 per unit. For true rush windows (24-48 hour turnarounds) we may quote a priority handling fee on a case-by-case basis — always disclosed upfront.

Overnight courier to capital cities is available on stocked goods when the timeline is truly tight.
Is there a minimum order for fast promotional products?▾
Express runs typically sit at 50-500 units, with no MOQ on many items for small creative rush pieces. Pens, lanyards and stickers can run from 25-50 units on express. For volume briefs (1,000+) we'll often stage the delivery — first tranche inside the express window to cover the launch, balance to follow on standard lead time.
Which branding methods are available on a rush timeline?▾
One-colour screen print and pad print are the quickest, turning around in 1-4 business days on stocked product. Laser engraving on metal pens, drink bottles and leather tags runs in 3-5 business days and reads as premium. Full-colour digital print and heat transfer open up gradients and multi-colour campaign artwork inside the express window without multi-screen setup time.
Can I see a sample before committing to a rush order?▾
Yes. Free samples dispatch within 48 hours from our Sydney warehouse Australia-wide. For true rush briefs where the sample timeline is tight, our in-house design studio provides digital mockups, 3D renders and mood boards inside a day so the creative lead can sign off with confidence before artwork lock.
Does fast turnaround cost more?▾
Not usually — express branding is built into the stock model on our 400+ core SKUs and doesn't carry a significant premium at standard quantities. For true rush windows (24-48 hours) we may quote a priority handling fee on a case-by-case basis, always disclosed upfront. Fast can still feel thoughtful, and it shouldn't come with surprises on the invoice.
Can you still do sustainable and eco-friendly products on a rush timeline?▾
Yes. Our express range includes rPET tote bags made from recycled plastic bottles, FSC-certified paper notebooks, bamboo pens, recycled non-woven bags and PFAS-free drinkware — all brandable inside the 1-4 business day window.
