Your Design, Classic Throws

Your Artwork on Classic Mardi Gras Throws

Bring the logo, krewe crest, mascot, photo, or hand-drawn design you already have, and it becomes a real Mardi Gras throw on the traditional strands people love to catch. The bead everyone recognizes carries the image only you have.

Start Your Design

Most custom throws start from a stock shape you pick off a list. This starts from the file in your hand. You send the artwork, and it goes onto the front of a classic strand as either a full-color decal medallion or a clean one-color imprint. The strand itself stays the familiar Mardi Gras throw, so your design travels hand to hand on something the crowd already reaches for.

Two ways your design goes on the bead

Full-color decal medallion

A two-inch round medallion carries your art in full color, so a multi-color logo or a real photograph reproduces the way you sent it. The inline decal medallion is the best-selling custom throw at PromotionBeads, and it is the right pick when the artwork has more than one or two colors.

One-color imprint

A bold single-color logo or a simple emblem can be imprinted directly, a straightforward option when your design is one solid color and you want a clean, budget-minded run.

LED and custom-shape options

Your artwork can also ride on light-up LED medallion beads for night parades, or on a custom-shaped bead when the outline of your design matters as much as the print.

The strand behind your medallion

The printed piece hangs from a classic Mardi Gras bead strand, the same traditional throw people already know from the parade route. Standard strands run about thirty-three inches so the medallion sits front and center where a spectator can read it. Because the strand is the familiar bead and only the medallion changes, your design looks at home around a neck while still being unmistakably yours.

What people put on the throw

Company logos and brand marks for trade shows and promotions
Krewe crests, mascots, and the current parade year
Photos of a couple, a graduate, a team, or the whole family
Monograms, names, dates, and short slogans
Health-awareness ribbons and cause artwork for fundraisers

Small runs, quick turnaround

You do not need a warehouse-sized order. PromotionBeads specializes in smaller quantities, and many custom throws can be manufactured in fourteen days or less, so a booth, a party, or a single float can order a run sized to the event. When your artwork and count are set, options and current pricing are handled on the Mardi Gras throws category.
