Custom-shaped Mardi Gras beads move past the round pendant and mold the beads or medallion into a silhouette that fits your theme, such as a football, a fleur-de-lis, a bottle, or a mascot outline. A distinct shape makes a throw instantly recognizable, even from a distance on a parade route.
Shapes that match your theme
When a round disc will not tell your story, a custom mold does. We produce the pendant or the individual beads in a shape drawn from your logo or event, then finish it in colors that match. Shaped throws stand out in photos and give sponsors a memorable branded item.
- Custom molds built from your logo, mascot, or event icon

Sizes and Options
Custom shaped beads use a PVC board medallion cut to your outline and printed in full color CMYK, hung from a 33 inch, 7mm strand. Chain link strands up to 36 inch are available for a heavier look, and shapes can be produced in one dimensional flat or two dimensional raised styles. The medallion can even carry a scannable QR code alongside your logo.
Best Uses
A custom shape turns the bead into your icon, whether that is a mascot, a state outline, a bottle, a football, or a fleur-de-lis. Krewes and brands use a signature shape as the throw fans hope to catch. Browse molded and shaped options on the custom shape beads category page.
Artwork Notes
Send a vector outline of the shape you want, since a clean path defines the cut and the print. Keep detail bold so the shape holds at bead size. A new shape needs a one time setup step, so order early. Call (877) 723-2348 to start a shape proof.
