Ordering bandanas for a festival, race, reunion, team or company event comes down to three questions: how many you need, how many you should actually order, and when to order them. Here's how to answer each one, with real numbers from our pricing engine.
Start with your headcount
Count everyone you want wearing one: attendees, staff, volunteers and performers. Then add about 5–10% for late sign-ups, last-minute guests and the few that go missing. Our square bandanas are one size, cut from a 22″ × 22″ blank, so there's no splitting the order by size the way there is with shirts. Bringing dogs? Dog bandanas come in three sizes you can mix in one order.
Round up to the next price break
Bandana prices drop at set quantities, and some drops are steep enough that ordering more costs less in total. For a one-color 19″ × 19″ screen print:
- Need 41–47? Order 48. They come to about $426.24 in total, no more than 41 would cost ($426.40).
- Need 58–99? Order 100. They come to about $499.00 in total, no more than 58 would cost ($504.60).
- Need 124–143? Order 144. They come to about $603.36 in total, no more than 124 would cost ($606.36).
- Need 246–287? Order 288. They come to about $967.68 in total, no more than 246 would cost ($969.24).
- Need 931–999? Order 1,000. They come to about $2,810.00 in total, no more than 931 would cost ($2,811.62).
The extras make good giveaways, replacements and spares for next year's event.
About these prices
They're reference figures from our pricing engine, before any seasonal adjustment, shipping or tax. The bandana builder shows your exact price as you change the quantity.
Order early enough
Screen printed bandanas take 8–12 business days after you approve your proof, and Standard full-color dye sublimation takes 6–7. Add a day or two for your proof and a few days for ground shipping, and plan to order at least 4 weeks before your event. The bandana builder shows your delivery date before you check out, and rush production is available when time is short.
Pick the method that fits the event
- A one- or two-color logo, 24+ pieces: screen printing, the best price at volume.
- Full-color art, or a small run from 12 pieces: dye sublimation, which is also the fastest.
Not sure which? Our dye sublimation vs. screen printing guide compares them side by side.
Shipping and storage
Folded bandanas pack flat: roughly 250 fit in a 12″ × 12″ × 12″ box and about 500 in a 24″ × 12″ × 12″ box, so they're easy to store and hand out. Want to feel the fabric before you commit? Order a sample first.
