Best for

Choose crayons, colouring & art sets if your moment is hospitality and family-dining brands, council events, libraries and community open days or airlines, hotels and family travel brands.

Hospitality and family-dining brands

Pair a 4-pack of branded crayons with a 6-page activity book tuned to your menu or mascot. Bistros, pubs and cafe groups reorder quarterly because the books go home and the logo comes back next weekend.

Council events, libraries and community open days

A5 colouring book with local landmarks illustrated, plus a triangular pencil 6-pack in a printed sleeve. Budget-friendly at scale, and the activity content becomes a genuine takeaway, not a giveaway.

Airlines, hotels and family travel brands

Compact travel art tins with crayons, mini colouring book and sticker sheet — the piece that turns a two-hour wait into the thing a child tells their grandparents about.

Healthcare, dental and paediatric waiting rooms

Washable crayons, wipeable colouring boards and disposable single-use packs — a calm moment for the child and a thoughtful brand touchpoint for the parent.

Back-to-school campaigns and family memberships

Full pencil cases with coloured pencils, sharpener, eraser and a branded ruler. Welcome-pack energy that lasts a full school term.

Our café activity packs arrived a week before the school holidays and parents were photographing them on the tables by day two. The illustrations felt genuinely ours — not a generic colouring book with a logo stuck on.

Tessa · Marketing Manager
independent hospitality group

The Sense2 team understood our brand world so quickly — the book felt like a natural extension of the campaign, and the children at our family open day were completely absorbed. Beautifully considered from cover to crayon.

How to choose

Start with the audience age and the moment, not the format — that's the part we enjoy most about an art-kit brief. For under-fives, triangular crayons and chunky pencils sit more comfortably in small hands and won't roll off a cafe table; for six-to-ten, a 12-pack of coloured pencils and a 16-page activity book give enough depth to hold attention. Content is everything: a generic colouring-in book works, but a custom book drawn around your brand world — the bakery's characters, the airline's destinations, the council's local flora — is the piece parents photograph and post. On branding methods: colouring book covers take full-colour digital print beautifully, with foil and emboss available on premium card stocks for hotel and retail gifting. Crayon sleeves and pencil wraps take full-wrap full-colour print — the whole sleeve becomes brand real estate. Pencil tins, drawstring pouches and fabric rolls take pad print, screen print or full-colour digital depending on surface. For sustainability briefs, ask about FSC-certified paper, soya inks, recycled card and non-toxic wax formulations — we've been refining these specs with our paper suppliers for years. On MOQ: most stocked crayon packs and colouring books start at 100-250 units with a custom-printed sleeve or cover; fully bespoke interior artwork typically kicks in from 500 units because it's where illustration setup earns its keep. At 2,000+ expect 25-40% off the 250-qty tier. Always order a sample before you commit — forty-eight hours to your desk. The weight of the paper, the brightness of the crayon pigment and the trim quality of the book are the three things that decide whether a parent keeps it or recycles it.

Pricing guidance

Pricing rule of thumb: at 250 units, a branded 4-pack crayon sleeve sits around AU$1.20-$2.20, a 6-pack at AU$1.80-$3.80, a 16-page A5 colouring book with full-colour cover at AU$2.40-$4.80, and a full travel art tin with crayons, book and stickers at AU$6.80-$14. At 1,000 units expect 20-30% less. Setup is AU$55-$95 per artwork, once off. Fully custom interior illustration for colouring books is quoted per spread — typically AU$120-$280 per custom double-page.

Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum order for custom crayons and colouring books?

Stocked crayon packs and colouring books with a custom-printed sleeve or cover typically start at 100-250 units. Fully bespoke interior artwork — custom illustrations, activity pages, characters — kicks in from 500 units. At 2,000+ expect 25-40% off the 250-qty tier. Ask for a stepped quote across 250, 500 and 1,000.

How long do branded art sets take to produce and deliver in Australia?

Standard lead time is 10-15 business days from artwork approval. Stocked crayon packs, colouring books and pencil sets can be branded in 5-7 business days on express. Fully custom-illustrated colouring books add 5-10 business days for the illustration and proofing rounds — we'll walk you through cover rough, interior spreads and pre-production sample before the print run.

Are your crayons and pencils safe for children?

Yes. Our standard crayons and coloured pencils are non-toxic, ASTM D-4236 compliant and age-appropriate for children three and up. Washable crayons are available for waiting-room and hospitality settings. Paper stocks are FSC-certified and soya-based inks are available on request for family-audience and early-years briefs.

What branding methods do you offer on colouring books and crayon packs?

Full-colour digital print on colouring book covers, with foil and emboss available on premium card stocks. Full-wrap full-colour print on crayon sleeves and pencil wraps — the whole sleeve becomes brand real estate. Pad print or screen print on pencil tins, drawstring pouches and fabric rolls. Setup is AU$55-$95 per artwork, once off.

Can you design a completely custom colouring book with our own characters and activities?

Yes — our in-house design studio handles cover illustration, character design, spot artwork and activity-page layouts. We'll scope the book by page count (typically 8, 12, 16 or 24 pages), build a rough, then refine against your brand world. Custom interior illustration is quoted per double-page spread. Agencies brief us on this regularly for campaign tie-ins and hospitality refreshes.

Can I see a sample before I order?

Yes. Free samples ship Australia-wide, dispatched within 48 hours. For custom-illustrated books we send cover roughs and interior proofs digitally, then a pre-production printed sample before the full run. The paper weight, crayon pigment and trim quality are what decide whether a parent keeps it — we make sure you see all three before you approve.
