Best for
Choose cheap promotional products if your moment is expo and trade-show giveaways at volume, staff onboarding and welcome kits or university orientation and student campaigns.
Expo and trade-show giveaways at volume
Non-woven totes, pad-printed plastic pens and lanyards with a custom bracket handle 5,000-20,000 units beautifully. Pick one colour that echoes the campaign, one line of copy that earns a second look — that's what delegates carry home.
Staff onboarding and welcome kits
A rPET tote, debossed notebook, branded pen and drawstring bag lands warmly at budget-tier. Our project managers kit and tissue-wrap before split-shipping to state offices on day-one.
University orientation and student campaigns
Branded highlighters, drawstring back packs, rPET water bottles and lanyards with printed lanyard cords — campaign-tier pricing, on-brand colour discipline, delivered in 1-4 business days on core lines.
Community, council and member organisation rollouts
Seeded-paper cards, recycled pens, non-woven shopping bags and enamel pin badges — the right tagline on the right substrate is what makes the campaign feel considered rather than worthy.
“Our orientation packs landed a few days ahead of when we needed them, beautifully kitted and ready to hand out. The Sense2 team matched our brand colours so precisely that the pens and totes felt like part of the campaign, not an afterthought.”
“We reorder our expo totes and lanyards with Sense2 every year — they remember our brand codes beautifully and always suggest something fresh. At volume, having a team that genuinely cares about the creative detail is every brand manager's dream.”
“The pens arrived with a tagline our creative director had fallen in love with, and honestly the room paused when they were handed out. Considered at every touchpoint — the highest compliment we can give a supplier.”

How to choose
Start with the audience and the moment — that's the part we enjoy most about a budget brief. A pen handed to an advertising manager in a boardroom needs a different register to a pen handed to 8,000 delegates at an expo, even if the per-unit price is similar. Choose the substrate for how the brand wants to feel in the hand: plastic pens (AU$0.85-$1.80) for volume with punchy pad-printed colour, metal pens (AU$2.40-$6.50) with laser engraving for a more considered register, non-woven totes (AU$1.95-$3.50) for expo volume, rPET totes (AU$2.80-$4.50) when sustainability is part of the story. Branding method changes the price more than people expect. A 1-colour pad print on a pen is the cheapest way to carry a bold logo. A 4-colour screen print on a tote gives you campaign artwork at scale. Full-colour digital on a lanyard or keycord is how you get gradients, photography or a patterned brand mark. Setup is AU$40-$85 per colour, once off — so at 500+ units the setup amortises beautifully. On MOQ: most budget lines start at 100-250 units, with no MOQ on many core items for pilot runs. At 2,000+ expect 25-40% off the 100-qty tier — ask our team for a stepped quote across 100, 500, 1,000 and 2,500. Creativity is what keeps any product on the desk, and at this tier it's the tagline, the colour discipline and the register of the brand that decide whether the pen gets kept or the tote becomes the conference photo. We'll send samples within 48 hours so your creative team can hold the weight, check the print fidelity and lock the brief before artwork goes to plate.
Pricing guidance
Pricing rule of thumb at 100 units, 1-colour print: plastic pens AU$0.85-$1.80, metal pens AU$2.40-$6.50, non-woven totes AU$1.95-$3.50, rPET totes AU$2.80-$4.50, polyester lanyards AU$1.20-$2.80, drawstring bags AU$2.20-$4.90, stress shapes AU$2.50-$4.80, rPET keepcups AU$4.20-$7.50. At 500-1,000 units those drop 20-35%. Full-colour digital print adds AU$0.35-$0.80 per unit. Setup is AU$40-$85 per colour, once off. Laser engraving on metal pens adds a one-time setup around AU$55.

Frequently asked questions
What's the minimum order for cheap promotional products?▾
Most budget-tier lines start at 100-250 units, with no MOQ on many core pens, lanyards and non-woven totes for pilot runs. Drawstring bags, stress shapes and keycords typically start at 100-500. For 2,000+ briefs expect 25-40% off the 100-qty tier — ask our team for a stepped quote across 100, 500, 1,000 and 2,500.
How long do cheap promotional products take to produce and deliver in Australia?▾
Standard lead time is 7-15 business days from artwork approval. Many core lines — plastic pens, non-woven totes, polyester lanyards, drawstring bags — are branded in 1-4 business days; 3-5 day express is available on 400+ SKUs. We ship Australia-wide to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart and Canberra daily.
What branding and printing methods do you offer at budget-tier?▾
Pad print is our most common method for pens, stress shapes and small curved surfaces. 1-4 colour screen print works beautifully on non-woven totes, drawstring bags and calico. Full-colour digital and sublimation give you gradients and photography on lanyards, keycords and rPET fabrics. Laser engraving adds a premium register on metal pens. Setup AU$40-$85 per colour, once off.
Can I see a sample before I order?▾
Yes — free samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours from our Sydney warehouse. Pre-production samples with your actual artwork are available on larger runs. After 30 years of budget-tier briefs, we know the weight, print fidelity and ink coverage are what decisions are made on — never the spec sheet alone.
Do you offer eco-friendly options at this price range?▾
Yes. Recycled-plastic pens, rPET totes and keepcups, FSC kraft paper bags, bamboo pens, seeded-paper cards, organic cotton drawstring bags and recycled non-woven — all sit within budget-tier pricing. GOTS, FSC and rPET certifications are available on request. See our eco-friendly promotional products guide for the full range.
What cheap promotional products work best for trade shows and expos?▾
Non-woven totes, pad-printed plastic pens, polyester lanyards with custom brackets, drawstring bags and stress shapes all perform beautifully at 2,000-20,000-unit volumes. Pick one substrate for the expo floor carry, one desk-keeper (pen or notepad), and lean the creative into a tagline that earns a second look — that's what delegates carry home.
