Custom Throw Questions

Custom Mardi Gras Throw Questions Answered

Putting your own artwork on a classic strand raises a few practical questions. Here are straight answers on files, print options, quantities, and ordering.

Start Your Design

Every custom throw begins with the design you supply, so most questions come down to what to send and how it prints. The answers below cover the choices that matter before you order.

Artwork and design

What artwork can I put on a strand?

Logos, krewe crests, mascots, photos, monograms, dates, awareness ribbons, or original art all work. Send your file and the team at PromotionBeads confirms the best format and placement for the medallion. See the artwork preparation guide for file tips.

What file should I send for the sharpest medallion?

A vector logo such as AI, EPS, SVG, or a high-resolution PDF holds its edges at any size. A large PNG or JPG also works, but avoid small thumbnails pulled off a website header, since they look soft once printed at medallion size.

Can you match my exact brand colors?

Full-color decal printing lets a multi-color logo or a photograph reproduce as sent, so you are not limited to a single ink. A short note about the shades that matter helps the team keep them faithful.

Print options and product

What is the difference between a full-color medallion and a one-color imprint?

A full-color decal medallion carries multi-color logos and real photos on a two-inch round disc and is the best-selling custom throw. A one-color imprint suits a bold single-color design and is the simpler, budget-minded choice.

Is this different from a ready-made custom throw?

Yes. This is about your supplied design on a classic strand, rather than choosing from stock shapes and colors. Your artwork drives what the finished throw looks like. Learn more on the your artwork page.

Do you offer light-up or custom-shape beads?

Your design can ride on LED medallion beads for night parades or on a custom-shaped bead when the outline of the artwork matters. Ask about both when you order.

Ordering, quantities, and timing

Is there a minimum order, and how fast can I get them?

PromotionBeads specializes in smaller quantities, and many custom throws can be manufactured in fourteen days or less. Confirm your quantity and lead time before your parade or event date.

Where do I order and see pricing?

Ordering, quantities, and current pricing are handled on the Mardi Gras throws category at PromotionBeads.com, the store behind the Bead Guy brands.
