Pet Bandana

A printed dog bandana, and possibly the most photographed promotional item in the catalog. Owners tie it on, take a picture and post it, so your logo travels much further than it would on a human garment that costs five times as much. That photo habit is why it punches well above its price.

Groomers, shelters and patio breweries

Groomers, veterinary clinics, shelters, breweries with patios and adoption events are the regular buyers. A groomer ties one on after every cut. A shelter sends adopted dogs home in a bandana for the family photo. A brewery hands them out at a dog-friendly event to fill social feeds with its name.

Screen print or full color on a triangle

Screen print gives bold, durable color for a simple logo. Full-color print handles patterns, photos and playful designs. The visible area on a tied bandana is the triangle that hangs at the chest, so place the logo there and keep it large. A short line like a hashtag or a web address works well too. Check placement on your free proof.

Cost at 100, 200 and up

• 100: $3.75 each, $375.00 plus $49 setup, $424.00
• 200: $2.70 each, $540.00, setup waived
• 500: $2.04 each, $1,020.00
• 1,000: $1.87 each, $1,870.00
• 5,000: $1.57 each, $7,850.00

The minimum is 100. Doubling to 200 is the standout move: the order total rises only modestly, the setup disappears, and the real cost per bandana drops from about $4.24 to $2.70. For a groomer who uses them every day, that makes 200 the more sensible first order.

Timing around adoption weekends

Bandanas are made in about 10 business days after proof approval, and shipping comes after. For an adoption weekend or a brewery event, start the order three weeks out.

Will it fit small and large dogs?

Ask for the size options when you request the quote, so the fit matches the dogs you see most.
