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.”

Asha · Head of Marketing
Brisbane tertiary education provider

“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.”

Tessa · Events & Brand Lead
nationwide member organisation

“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 for volume with punchy pad-printed colour, metal pens with laser engraving for a more considered register, non-woven totes for expo volume, rPET totes 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. On MOQ: most budget lines start at 100-250 units, with no MOQ on many core items for pilot runs. 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.
