Custom cardboard fans for events are lightweight promotional pieces that combine a practical use with a visible area for branded artwork.
Styles and materials
Some designs use an integrated handle, while others have a separate handle attached to the printed fan. The board needs enough stiffness for the intended use without becoming unnecessarily heavy.
How to prepare the artwork for printing
Choose the finished size, request the correct die-cut template, keep text inside the safe area and check the orientation of every graphic element. Depending on the design, the fan can be printed on one or both sides.
Distribution at events
The right quantity depends on expected attendance, the venue and how the fans will be handed out. Allow for a sensible margin, but avoid ordering by guesswork when attendance figures are available.
If the fans form part of a wider campaign, our promotional product printing service can help you coordinate the format, print finish and other event materials.
Frequently asked questions
Do all cardboard fans need a handle?
No. The handle may be integrated into the die-cut shape or added as a separate component.
Can the shape be customised?
Yes, provided that the artwork follows a suitable cutting template and leaves safe margins around text and logos.
