Custom stress balls put a logo in someone's hand and keep it on a desk long after the event ends. This category lists 686 stress relievers and squeeze toys, with unit prices running from $0.42 to $8.99. Polyurethane and polyurethane foam are the materials behind almost every style here.
Shapes and sizes to choose from
Round balls lead the category. The Round Foam Stress Ball measures approximately 3 inches in diameter, comes in 8 stock colors including 3 neon shades, and returns to its round shape after each squeeze. Sports shapes cover basketball, baseball, soccer, tennis, volleyball, golf and hockey. Face shapes like the Emoticon Stress Ball run 2-3/4 inches in diameter and pair a stock graphic from a library of more than 30 designs with your own mark. Novelty and anatomy shapes fill out the rest, from the Brain Stress Reliever at 3 by 2-1/4 by 2 inches to a peanut, a carrot and a tooth. Keychain versions such as the Round Stress Ball Keychain shrink the same idea to 1-1/2 inches so it rides on a keyring.
How your logo goes on
Pad printing is the included decoration method on many styles, and it covers a one-color, one-location imprint inside the base unit price. Print areas stay small and change with the shape. The Brain Stress Reliever lists 6 separate imprint locations, with a top area of 1.25 by 0.75 inches that accepts up to 6 colors. The Emoticon Stress Ball lists one area on the back at 1.5 inches in diameter. Imprint areas and color limits vary by style, so read the product page before you size your artwork.
Who buys them
Trade shows, clinics and wellness fairs are the usual homes for these. Construction firms, contractors and safety programs order the hard hat shapes. Dental practices order the tooth shape. Schools and booster clubs order the sports balls and match the body color to team colors. Sales teams hand out the keychain sizes because they fit in a pocket.
Ordering and turnaround
Minimum quantities, imprint areas and production times vary by style, so check the product page or ask for a quote. Several styles publish volume price tiers that run from 150 pieces up to 2,500 pieces, and the per-unit cost drops at each break. Many styles also list CPSIA, ASTM, Prop 65 and CCPSA compliance on their spec sheets.
