🎨 How to Customize Your Plastic Toy Maracas

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
2000 pcs	Around $0.70–$1.00 each	Included

(Bulk shipping charges are calculated separately.)

Tip: Larger orders = better unit price + free or discounted printing setup fees!
