Frequently asked

What's the minimum order for branded merchandise under $5? Most promo products under $5 start at 100 units, with 250-500 typical for sharper per-unit pricing in this tier. Volume discounts sharpen significantly at 1,000+ and again at 2,000+. Ask us for a stepped quote across 250, 500, 1,000 and 2,000 — it's where this price point really works.

How long do promo products under $5 take to produce and deliver? Standard lead time is 7-15 business days from artwork approval. Express 3-5 business day options are available on 300+ stocked SKUs across pens, lanyards, notebooks, non-woven totes and keyrings. For last-minute briefs we keep core delegate-pack components in stock year-round.

What branding is included at this price point? Typically 1-2 colour pad print or silk-screen print is included in the base AU$5-or-under unit price. Extra colours add AU$0.35-$0.80 per unit. Full-colour dye-sublimation lanyards and full-colour digital on rPET totes are both available under AU$5 at 500qty with no per-colour cost.

Can I see a sample of a budget-tier product before I order? Yes — free samples Australia-wide, dispatched in 48 hours. At this price point, the sample matters more, not less: you're checking that the pen writes, the lanyard clip holds, and the print hasn't been compromised to meet the budget. We won't send you a sample we wouldn't ship in a delegate pack.

What's the absolute fastest you can deliver under $5? On stocked SKUs with a 1-colour logo and express production, 3-5 business days nationwide. For Sydney and Melbourne briefs on stocked decorated lines, same-week courier is sometimes possible. Always call when the date is tight — we've been running rush briefs for 30+ years and can tell you what's genuinely achievable.

Do you offer eco-friendly options under $5? Yes — recycled-PET lanyards, rPET non-woven totes, bamboo pens, recycled-paper notebooks and FSC-certified kraft-paper bags all sit under AU$5 at 250qty and above. Cert paperwork attached to the quote on request.
