Ear plug styles in this category
16 styles are listed here, grouped by how the plug is worn and how it is stored. Foam is the standard choice for volume orders, corded styles suit shift work, and cased styles travel better.
Foam ear plugs
Foam plugs roll down and expand to fill the ear canal, and one size fits most wearers. The 2 Piece Ear Plug Pack is the lowest priced option at $1.02 for 250 units, dropping to $0.75 at the top quantity break, and carries a 35 dB rating. Custom Clear Ear Plugs carry a 32 dB rating and start at 500 units, which suits a larger single handout.
Corded ear plugs
A cord joins the pair so the plugs hang around the neck between uses instead of being set down. Personalized Corded Foam Earplugs and Case carry a 33 dB rating at $1.81 for 250 units. The Custom Ear Plug Kit pairs a corded set with a case at $1.89 for 250 units.
Ear plugs in a carry case
Most styles here ship in a case, and the case is usually where the logo prints. Good Value Travel Ear Plugs in Case run a 2 day production time, the fastest in this category. Ear Plugs In Travel Case holds 2 pairs of polypropylene plugs in a 2 inch round case.
Reusable silicone ear plugs
Silicone plugs are washed and reused rather than thrown away, which suits repeat wearers. Hushies Loop Ear Plugs start at 100 units and ship in a silicone carry case. Wellable Noise Reducing Ear Plugs carry the highest rating in this category at 36 dB, start at 50 units, and include a case made from 100% recycled ABS.
How much noise each style blocks
Noise reduction ratings listed on these products run from 29 dB to 36 dB. The highest is 36 dB on the Wellable style, followed by 35 dB on the 2 Piece Ear Plug Pack and 33 dB on the corded styles. Several kits do not publish a rating, so check the product page for the style you want and ask in your quote request if a specific rating is required for your program.
Where your logo prints
On most styles the imprint goes on the carrying case, pouch, label or bag rather than on the plug itself. Ear Plugs In Travel Case takes a 1 color imprint in 1 location on the case, and the Custom Comfort Travel Set takes an imprint on the pouch only. Imprint methods across this category include digital full color process, screen printing, silkscreen, pad printing and heat transfer. Printable area and color count change by style, so confirm both on the product page before you order.
Bulk pricing and order minimums

Listed prices run from $0.75 to $9.08 at the opening quantity, and unit price drops at each quantity break, reaching $0.75 on the 2 Piece Ear Plug Pack.

Who buys branded ear plugs
Safety programs and job sites
Manufacturing plants, construction firms and facilities teams hand out foam plugs by the case as part of a hearing conservation program. Ratings from 29 dB to 36 dB cover the range most workplace programs specify, and disposable foam keeps the unit cost near $1. Ask for the rating in writing if your program carries a documented requirement.
Travel, sleep and wellness kits
Hotels, airlines and employee wellness programs order plugs paired with an eye mask or packed into a rest kit. The Custom Printed Ear Plugs And Eye Mask Set pairs both at $3.68 for 250 units. The Sleep In Kit adds a cotton sleep mask to a 30 dB plug set in a mesh bag, and the Custom Foam Ear Plug Set In Case holds a corded pair in a clip-on case.
