If you’re also planning to customize maracas for your event, here’s a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Choose Your Quantity
First, decide how many pieces you’ll need. Our MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) for custom maracas starts at 500 pieces.
If you’re unsure, it’s better to order a bit more to cover extras for VIPs, media, or unexpected attendees.
Step 2: Select the Color
Pick your maraca color based on your theme:
-
Translucent Blue or Green: Fresh, vibrant
-
Orange or Translucent Orange: Perfect for fun, energy-filled events
-
White: Elegant and clean, best for full-color logos
-
Translucent Purple: Unique and festive
-
Neon Assortment: A colorful mix for lively parties
You can select a single color or a mix, depending on your preference.
Step 3: Prepare Your Logo
Prepare a high-resolution file of your logo or design. We accept formats like:
-
AI (Adobe Illustrator)
-
PDF
-
High-res PNG (at least 300 dpi)
Our recommended imprint size is 3.8 × 3.8 cm, positioned prominently on the maraca shell.
Step 4: Choose Your Printing Method
We offer two primary printing options:
-
Pad Print: Single-color or two-color logos, cost-effective and durable
-
Full-Color Print: For multicolor logos or gradient designs, great for detailed branding
Our team can guide you based on your design.
Step 5: Confirm Artwork
We’ll send you a digital mockup showing how your logo will look on the maraca before production starts. This ensures no surprises!
Step 6: Production & Shipping
Once you approve the mockup and finalize payment, we’ll start production.
-
Production time: 20–30 days
-
Shipping: Express, air freight, or sea freight — depending on your delivery timeline
We ship worldwide, directly from our factory!
💰 Pricing Overview
Pricing depends on the quantity, printing complexity, and shipping method.
Here’s a rough idea:
Quantity | Price (Estimate) | Printing Fee |
---|---|---|
500 pcs | Around $1.20–$1.50 each | $30–$50 setup fee |
1000 pcs | Around $0.90–$1.20 each | Included or minimal |
