Custom Clack Fans for Events, Promotions & Gifts

Looking for a promotional fan that is more noticeable than a standard folding hand fan?

Custom clack fans are large folding fans made with flexible plastic ribs and a polyester fabric surface. When opened quickly, they create the distinctive “clack” sound that makes them especially popular for festivals, performances, parties and promotional events.

We help businesses source custom clack fans from China with low minimum order quantities, custom printing and flexible product options.

For selected designs and specifications, prices can start from around US$1.50 per piece, while the final price depends on quantity, size, printing, materials and packaging.

Custom clack fans with polyester fabric and custom printing

What Is a Clack Fan?

A clack fan is a large folding hand fan designed to open with a noticeable snapping or clacking sound.

Unlike traditional wooden folding fans, this style typically uses plastic ribs with a polyester fabric fan surface. The fabric provides a large printable area, while the flexible plastic structure allows the fan to fold down for storage and transportation.

The combination of large visual impact, custom printing and the distinctive opening sound makes clack fans suitable for both promotional campaigns and entertainment events.


Key Features of Custom Clack Fans

Polyester Fabric Surface

Most clack fans use polyester fabric for the fan surface. It provides a lightweight surface suitable for colorful printed designs, logos, slogans and artwork.

Flexible Plastic Ribs

The fan uses plastic ribs rather than traditional bamboo or wooden ribs. The flexible structure allows the fan to open quickly while producing its characteristic clack sound.

Custom Printing

The polyester fan surface can be printed with your artwork, brand logo, event graphics, slogans or other designs.

Printing options can vary by supplier and product specification, so we can help compare suitable production options based on your artwork and quantity.

Large Printable Area

The large fan surface gives brands more space to display visual designs compared with many conventional promotional giveaways.

Foldable & Easy to Carry

The fan folds into a compact shape for transportation, storage and event distribution.

Low MOQ

For selected products, the MOQ can start at around 100 pieces.

This makes clack fans suitable not only for large campaigns but also for smaller events, promotional projects and product testing.


Custom Clack Fan Options

Depending on the supplier and production specification, we can help source options including:

  • Different fan sizes
  • Different plastic rib colors
  • Different polyester fabric colors
  • Custom printed artwork
  • Brand logos
  • Event graphics
  • Promotional slogans
  • Seasonal designs
  • Different packaging options
  • Ready-stock designs
  • Custom production

If you already have artwork, we can check the printing requirements with the supplier before production.


Custom Clack Fans for Events

Clack fans are particularly useful when the product needs to be seen, carried and used during an event.

Common applications include:

  • Music festivals
  • Dance performances
  • Concerts
  • Parties and clubs
  • Pride events
  • Outdoor events
  • Brand activations
  • Product launches
  • Trade shows
  • Promotional campaigns
  • Event giveaways
  • Wedding and celebration merchandise

The opening sound also gives the product an interactive element that a standard printed giveaway may not have.


Clack Fans as Promotional Gifts

If you are looking for a low-cost promotional product with a large printable surface, custom clack fans can be an alternative to conventional promotional items.

They can be used as:

Brand giveaways
Print your logo or campaign message across the fan surface.

Event merchandise
Create a design specifically for a concert, festival or celebration.

Seasonal promotional products
Use bright colors and seasonal artwork for summer campaigns and outdoor events.

Corporate promotional gifts
Add company branding for conferences, customer events and promotional activities.


Low MOQ & Flexible Sourcing

One advantage of this product is that you do not necessarily need to order thousands of pieces.

For selected clack fan designs, MOQ can start from around 100 pieces, making them practical for smaller promotional campaigns and test orders.

Prices can start from approximately US$1.50 per piece for certain specifications and quantities.

The actual quotation may vary depending on:

  • Order quantity
  • Fan size
  • Fabric specification
  • Printing method
  • Number of colors
  • Plastic rib design
  • Packaging
  • Shipping requirements

For example, a simple ready-stock or standard specification may have a very different cost from a fully customized fan with special packaging.

Send us your quantity and design requirements and we can check suitable options from Chinese suppliers.


Ready-Stock or Custom Production?

You do not always need to start with a fully customized product.

Depending on your project, we can look for:

Ready-Stock Clack Fans

Suitable when you need:

  • Faster sourcing
  • Lower development requirements
  • Small quantities
  • Standard colors or designs
  • Event giveaways

Custom Clack Fans

Suitable when you need:

  • Company branding
  • Event artwork
  • Custom colors
  • Campaign slogans
  • Special packaging
  • Larger quantities

If you are unsure which option makes more sense, we can compare ready-stock and custom production based on your quantity, budget and delivery requirements.
