Attribute Data Matrix

Technical Comparison Analysis

Sublimation vs. silk screen on nylon. Sublimation dyes the print into the fabric surface, so it holds fine linework and gradients and runs edge-to-edge across the round face. Silk screen lays cured ink on top of the fabric; it is a better fit for a simple one- or two-color mark where the artwork is basic. Sublimation has a higher per-pass cost on complex artwork but avoids separate screen set-up per color. For a detailed logo or pattern, sublimation is the fit; for a simple repeat mark, silk screen keeps the set-up lean.

Foldable nylon vs. battery-powered mini fan. A battery-powered mini fan delivers continuous airflow but adds a motor, battery, and weight to the unit, raising per-unit cost and shipping weight for a giveaway. This fan folds into a small pouch and weighs 0.05 kg per single package, so it ships light and packs into a swag bag or gift box. For airflow-driven use (a summer day, an outdoor event), the battery fan is the fit; for a bulk branded giveaway where print depth and shipping weight matter more, the foldable fan covers the use case. Documentation can be provided for your destination market's requirements on request.

Multi-Scenario Buyer Applications

Event marketing manager. An event marketing manager sourcing a summer giveaway would typically confirm four things before ordering: the round face size and whether the logo reads clearly at that size, the print method (sublimation for full-color artwork; silk screen for a simple mark), whether the fan folds small enough to fit the swag bag or handout format, and the lead time against the event date. Free test samples ship in 1–3 work days, and a printed sample confirms artwork color on the nylon. The 10-day production window for orders up to 1,000 pieces starts after artwork approval, so count backward from the event date and leave room for the sample step.

Promotional products reseller. A reseller quoting branded fans for a corporate client would confirm the applicable MOQ tier — 100 pieces for custom color and 500 pieces for custom print — and confirm which one matches the client's program size. Because the fan can take custom edge color plus a sublimation print, the branding can extend to the rim for a more complete look. The reseller should also confirm the artwork format and bleed at the round face edge, and request a printed sample before the bulk run. For a cross-border program, verify the destination market's import documentation requirements with the supplier at inquiry.

HR or People Ops manager. An HR manager sourcing a seasonal employee gift would confirm the fan is a practical item that fits the recipient's daily use, that the brand mark is clearly visible without reading like an ad, and that the foldable format fits an onboarding or appreciation package without adding significant shipping weight. At 0.05 kg per single package and a foldable profile, the fan fits into a kit or gift box. The 100-piece custom-color tier works for a smaller team, while a larger program moves to the 500-piece print tier. Confirm the destination market's documentation set if the gift crosses borders.

FAQ Matrix

Q: Can I order a small batch to test the fan before committing to a full print run?
A: Yes. Custom color starts at a 100-piece minimum, which lets you test the physical fan and the color direction before committing to a print run. Custom print starts at 500 pieces. For a physical check, free test samples ship in 1–3 work days. Confirm the applicable tier and pricing in the quotation before ordering.

Q: How should I plan freight around the 10-day lead time and the foldable profile?
A: The 10-day window applies to 1–1,000 pieces and starts after artwork approval and deposit; volumes above 1,000 are negotiated. Book freight against the confirmed production completion date. Because the fan folds flat and weighs 0.05 kg per single package, per-unit freight is low, which supports sea freight for bulk volumes planned weeks ahead. Express covers samples and short-notice event orders.

Q: What payment structure should I expect?
A: Payment terms are not published in the listing. T/T with a deposit and balance before shipment is standard for this order type; confirm the split, accepted methods, and balance trigger in the quotation. Tie the terms to the production schedule so the 10-day lead time, the design-in-3-days and sample-in-7-days steps, and the payment milestones line up.

Q: How do I verify quality, stitching, and print color before the run?
A: Start with a free test sample to check stitching along the edge and the fold-and-collapse function, then approve a printed production sample to confirm print color and registration on the round face. Specify an AQL level in the purchase order (AQL 2.5 is common for promotional soft goods) and request a pre-shipment inspection report. Request the documentation set for your destination market — no specific certification is named in the source, so confirm the paperwork matches your market's requirements.
