There are a ton of great custom lighters you can order. Use these design tips to make yours look amazing!
Order custom lighters for…
Holiday Gifts
Does your dad love smoking cigars? A custom lighter is a fun gift to give him for the holidays! He’ll love it more than another boring tie.
Wedding Favors
Your bridesmaids, groomsmen, and guests deserve something nice. Be a little bit cheesy and add a cute message to your lighters like: “Our love burns bright” or “You light up my life.”
Band Merch
T-shirts and hoodies are always part of a merch tent, so why not lighters? You’ll love seeing your fans hold them up during the slower songs.
Tobacco or Cannabis Shops
Custom lighters are a great way for you to make a little extra money at your shop. Print your logo on the front and keep them right by your cash register.
Gift Shops
Souvenir lighters are great for hotels, theme parks, museums, landmarks, and restaurants. Just make sure you keep them out of reach of children!
Custom Lighters Design Tips
- Choose a good style.
- Pick eye-catching colors.
- Keep your design simple.
- Don’t print too many colors.
- Order ahead of time.
Tip 1. Choose a Lighter Style
Do you want a high-end custom lighter or something simple and disposable? Your answer will help you pick the right style for you.
Refillable Custom Lighters
Disposable Custom Lighters
Refillable lighters are great if you’re looking for a good gift that will be used again and again. Disposable lighters, on the other hand, are much more affordable, but not as long-lasting.
Tip 2. Pick Eye-Catching Colors
The product color can have a huge impact on the overall final look. Here are some suggestions!
Reusable lighters, like Personalized Zippos, are meant to be used for years. Go with a solid color like black or brown, or a metallic color like chrome or gold. Either option makes for a sleek, stylish gift.
Go ahead and have fun with your custom barbecue lighters! A trendy color, like pastel, will make much more of an impression than traditional red or black.
Disposable lighters, like Custom BIC lighters, are usually made from plastic. You have a little more freedom here to go with bright colors, wild backgrounds, or fun extra features like bottle openers.
Tip 3. Keep Your Design Simple
Print 1 or 2 of the following on the front of your custom lighters:
- Name
- Logo
- Clipart
- Date
- Brief Message
- Contact Info
- Monogram Initials
Personalized lighters are relatively small, which means you don’t have a ton of room to print images or text. Luckily, you don’t want to clutter your lighters with a busy design anyway. Less is more.
Tip 4. Don’t Print Too Many Colors
A good tip is to stick with printing your design in either white or black. You get charged for every additional imprint color you use, which can add up fast!
Do you really want to use many print colors in your lighter design? Here are a couple other options you can look into:
Full Color Printing
You can print as many colors as you need without an extra charge. This is a great option if you have a colorful logo or design in mind!
Engraving
An engraved design will not chip or peel away over time. This is best for high-end lighters, or if you have more in your budget to spend.
Tip 5. Order Ahead of Time
This is perhaps the most important tip on the list! Make sure you order the personalized lighters with plenty of time to spare.
Lighters are considered a hazardous material, so extreme caution is taken during shipping. You may have to wait longer for your order, which is something to keep in mind if you’re in a time crunch.
