Custom fly swatters put a brand name in a spot people reach for all summer, and prices in this category start at $0.81 per piece. Buyers order them in bulk as low-cost handouts for fairs, open houses and trade show booths.
Shapes and sizes
Styles range from standard swatters to novelty cutouts. The Smiley Flyswatter, the Bull’s-Eye Flyswatter, the Stop Sign Flyswatter and the Custom House Flyswatter share one polyethylene body: 16 inches long, 4.5 inches wide and 0.3125 inches thick. Other house-shaped styles run smaller, at 13.06 inches and 9.09 inches wide. The LogoBranded Guitar Fly Swatter uses a guitar-shaped head and sits at the top of the price range at $2.41. For smaller handouts, the Branded Fly Swat measures 9.18 inches wide by 2.31 inches high and is the lowest-priced style at $0.81. Several styles include a hanging hole so the swatter stores on a hook.
Materials and the antimicrobial option
Materials listed on these styles are polyethylene or plastic. The 16-inch novelty shapes list polyethylene, and the MicroHalt Mega Fly Swatter lists plastic with a lacquer finish. That 16-inch swatter also carries an ISO 22196 certified antimicrobial additive, which protects the swatter surface against bacteria growth. One house-shaped style lists a recycled material option for buyers with sustainability goals.
Who orders them
Fly swatters go out at outdoor summer events, county fairs and trade shows, where booth traffic runs high and the budget per giveaway runs low. Real estate agents and beach rental managers pick the house shapes. Hotels and restaurants order the larger standard shapes. Safety campaigns use the stop sign design, and pest control campaigns use the plain styles.
Ordering and imprinting
Each style takes a custom imprint of your logo or message, and several list a range of imprint colors. Minimum quantities, imprint areas and production times change from style to style, so check the product page or ask for a quote before you set a budget. Bulk discounts apply as quantity goes up. Several styles are made in the USA and union printed, which helps buyers who follow domestic sourcing rules.
