Best for
Choose low moq promotional products (100 or fewer) if your moment is agency new-business pitches, founder and executive gifting or boutique product launches and pop-ups.
Agency new-business pitches
A run of 20-50 beautifully-branded notebooks, engraved pens and debossed leather card holders — the pitch kit that walks into the boardroom with you. Tone-on-tone finish, no screaming logos, the brand doing the quiet work.
Founder and executive gifting
Curated kits of 25-75 for board members, investors or VIP clients. A ceramic candle, a linen-bound journal, a seeded-paper card with a handwritten line. The opening moment matters more than the unit count.
Boutique product launches and pop-ups
50-100 branded tote bags, enamel mugs or printed tea towels for an independent hospitality opening or fashion drop. Digital full-colour print keeps small runs economical without losing finish.
Speaker and panellist gifts
A run of 15-40 for a conference speaker lineup — a ceramic mug, a leather luggage tag, a small-batch candle. The pieces that get posted to LinkedIn unprompted.
Team milestones and internal awards
75-100 engraved drink bottles, embroidered caps or enamel pins for a team-of-the-year moment. Warm, specific, treasured — the ones that stay on the desk.
“We needed 40 kits for our board weekend and the Sense2 team understood the register immediately — warm, considered, no loud branding. Every piece felt intentional, and the packaging alone drew comments all weekend.”
“A run of 60 for our opening night — candles, tote bags, seeded cards. The team remembered our brand codes beautifully and suggested the tissue-and-ribbon detail we hadn't thought of. Delivered wrapped and a few days ahead of when we needed them.”
“Customers love Sense2 for making small runs feel as considered as the big launches — from brief to delivery, with creative thinking that turns a fifty-piece order into a brand moment people still talk about.”

How to choose
Start with the branding method, not the product — that's the shortcut to getting a small run to feel beautifully finished rather than compromised. Screen print has colour-setup economics that punish low volume; a 1-colour setup of AU$60-$85 hurts across 50 units. Digital full-colour print, pad print, laser engraving and embroidery all scale down gracefully, often setup-free or with a single once-off digitising fee around AU$55 for embroidery. For runs of 10-50, lean into products where the decoration is the story: laser-engraved metal pens, engraved bamboo drink bottles, debossed leather card holders, tone-on-tone embroidered caps and full-colour sublimated ceramic mugs. These read as considered, gift-quality pieces rather than mass merch. For 50-100 units, the options widen. Canvas tote bags with a 1-2 colour screen print start to make sense; enamel mugs, candles, notebooks, seeded-paper cards and small-format apparel all sit comfortably here. This is the sweet spot for product launches, agency pitch kits and speaker gifts. Material cues matter more at low volume because every unit is held, not glimpsed. Spec the heavier canvas (280-340gsm), the thicker paper stock (300gsm+), the genuine leather rather than bonded, the double-walled ceramic rather than single. The maths works because you're ordering fewer units — spend the difference on the substrate. Finally, order samples. Forty-eight hours, free, Australia-wide. For a run of 50, the sample decides the brief — the weight, the print register, the closure, the unboxing. Fast can still feel thoughtful, and a small run done beautifully out-performs a careless large one every time.
Pricing guidance
Pricing rule of thumb at 50 units, 1-position brand: engraved metal pens AU$3.80-$9, ceramic mugs with digital full-colour AU$8-$18, canvas tote bags AU$6-$12, embroidered caps AU$14-$24, A5 notebooks AU$9-$22, engraved drink bottles AU$18-$38, leather card holders AU$24-$48, small-batch candles AU$22-$42. At 100 units expect 15-25% off these tiers. Setup is AU$40-$85 per screen-print colour (often waived on digital and laser at low volume). Embroidery adds a one-time digitising fee around AU$55. Gift packaging, tissue, ribbon and handwritten cards available on request — usually AU$2.50-$8 per kit.

Frequently asked questions
What's the lowest MOQ you offer on promotional products?▾
Many of our most-briefed products start at 10-25 units — engraved pens, ceramic mugs, notebooks, candles, leather card holders and seeded-paper cards all run comfortably at this volume. Tote bags, apparel and drinkware typically start at 25-50. For agency pitch kits and founder gifting, we've run beautifully-finished kits as small as 15.
How long do small-batch runs of 50-100 take to produce?▾
Standard lead time is 7-12 business days from artwork approval. Core lines branded in our in-house studio — engraved pens, laser-marked bottles, digitally-printed mugs and notebooks — often turn in 1-4 business days. For 3-5 day express briefs, ask us at quote stage so we route to the right decorator from the start.
Which branding methods work best for low-MOQ runs?▾
Digital full-colour print, pad print, laser engraving and embroidery all scale down gracefully — often setup-free or with a single once-off fee. Screen print makes more sense from 100 units up because of per-colour setup. For gift-tier briefs we lean into engraving, debossing and tone-on-tone embroidery, which read as considered at any volume.
Can I see samples before committing to a low-MOQ order?▾
Yes. Samples dispatch within 48 hours Australia-wide — hold the real weight, finish and print register before artwork lock. For runs of 50-100 we'll often send two or three options so you can choose the substrate in the hand. Pre-production samples with your actual artwork are available on every brief. Samples are charged at cost plus freight and credited back on orders of 100+ units — so the sample effectively costs nothing once you order.
Do you offer gift packaging and kitting on small runs?▾
Yes — tissue, ribbon, branded boxes, handwritten cards and split-ship to multiple addresses are part of how we work on low-MOQ briefs. Usually AU$2.50-$8 per kit depending on the complexity. This is the part we enjoy most — the opening moment is where a 25-piece run becomes unforgettable.
Are sustainable materials available at low MOQ?▾
Yes — rPET totes, FSC paper goods, organic cotton, bamboo drinkware, seeded-paper cards and recycled-cotton apparel all run from 25-50 units. GOTS and FSC certification available on request. Our eco ranges have been refining for 14+ years, and small boutique briefs are exactly where the material story lands hardest.
