1/2" Rush Glow-in-the-Dark Silicone Wristband GIDSBR-12

Our 1/2" Rush Glow-in-the-Dark Silicone Wristbands are made of 100% silicone and extremely durable. With free setup, PMS color matching and a digital proof included, plus a 4 business day production time, they're a smart rush option for October events.

Why it works for Halloween: Halloween happens after dark, and a glowing band is a natural fit for night events and safety campaigns. Kids and adults alike love wearing them long after the candy is gone.

• Hand out at a community trick-or-treat night with a safety campaign message
• Give to guests at a glow-themed costume party or haunted hayride
• Use as a school or PTA Halloween event souvenir

Decoration tip: The silk-screen imprint reads best with a short, bold message like an event name or a catchy safety slogan. Choose from Blue, Green, Pink, Purple or White bands to match the client's look.

1" Stock DuPont™ Tyvek® Wristband IDP-ANTS-1

Our 1" Stock DuPont™ Tyvek® Wristbands are the economical choice for fast guest identification. The tamper-evident adhesive closure is made for one-time use, and with 1-3 business day production, these are among the quickest picks on our list.

Why it works for Halloween: Haunted houses, costume parties and fall festivals all need a simple way to tell who paid, who's on the guest list and who's old enough for the bar. Stock bands get the job done fast.

• Mark paid admission at a haunted attraction or fall festival
• Separate age groups or 21+ guests at a costume party
• Color-code time slots for a busy haunted house

Decoration tip: These ship blank, so let color do the talking: pick from shades like Neon Orange, Neon Lime, Lavender or Gold and assign one color per ticket type or time slot.

Stock Plastic Wristband (L-Shaped) IDP-LS-PLS

Our Stock Plastic Wristbands (L-Shaped) feature waterproof material and a locking plastic snap, making them ideal for multi-day use. They're sold in boxes of 500 with 1-3 business day production.

Why it works for Halloween: Many haunted attractions and fall festivals run over several nights or a full weekend. A sturdy, waterproof band holds up when guests keep it on from one day to the next.

• Weekend passes for a fall festival or pumpkin patch
• Staff and volunteer ID at a haunted attraction
• Season passes for a multi-night Halloween event

Decoration tip: These are blank, so choose a stock color that fits the theme, like Black or Neon Orange, and switch colors each night or weekend to discourage band sharing.

2.25" Circle Celluloid Pin-Back Button IDP-BT-225

Our 2.25" Circle Celluloid Pin-Back Buttons are made and decorated in the United States with a full color digital print and a steel pin backing that attaches to almost any costume or jacket. They're a big, eye-catching canvas for spooky artwork.

Why it works for Halloween: Costumes are made for accessories! Buttons let clients add their brand to the fun without asking anyone to cover up their outfit.

• Costume contest awards like Scariest, Funniest or Judge's Pick
• "I Survived" buttons for haunted house or corn maze guests
• "Ask Me" buttons for volunteers at a trunk-or-treat event

Decoration tip: Full color means you aren't limited to a few spot colors, so go bold with Halloween art. Keep the logo and key words centered and large so the button reads from across the room.

2" x 3" Rectangle Water-Resistant Sticker STWP-RT-2X3

Our 2" x 3" Rectangle Water-Resistant Stickers are weather and water-resistant, printed in full color on white gloss BOPP rated for outdoor use. Made and decorated in the United States and individually cut, they finish with an ultra gloss shine.

Why it works for Halloween: Halloween is an outdoor holiday, from damp grass at the pumpkin patch to cold drinks at the festival. A water-resistant sticker holds up better than paper when the weather turns.

• Seal or brand treat bags for trick-or-treat giveaways
• Hand out kid-friendly character stickers at a school fall festival
• Label cups and coolers at a tailgate-style Halloween party

Decoration tip: Use the rectangle in a horizontal layout with a spooky graphic on one side and the client's logo on the other. A QR code linking to the client's site or event page fits nicely, too.

1.9 oz. Clear Sanitizer with Carabiner Hook CHS19

Our 1.9 oz. Clear Sanitizer with Carabiner Hook brings a full color imprint, a choice of scents (scented or unscented) and a choice of carabiner colors. It's made and decorated in the United States and clips right where people need it.

Why it works for Halloween: Between sticky candy, hayrides and petting zoos, Halloween events get messy. A clip-on sanitizer is a practical giveaway that families will actually keep.

• Clip to trick-or-treat bags at a sponsored community event
• Give away at a pumpkin patch or fall festival booth
• Include in Halloween party favors for school or office events

Decoration tip: Design a full color label with a seasonal look, like a jack-o'-lantern or autumn leaves, and pick a carabiner color that matches the client's brand or Halloween palette.

Tips for Selling Custom Halloween Giveaways This Season

• Lead with the calendar. Production starts after proof approval, plus transit time, so ask clients for their in-hands date and ship-to ZIP on the very first call.
• Get art and approvals moving the same day. Request a clean logo up front and turn proofs around quickly, because every day of back-and-forth comes off the schedule.
• For the tightest timelines, pitch stock wristbands first. They ship blank with short production, and color alone can handle admission, age checks and time slots.
• Bundle for a bigger order. Pair Halloween event wristbands for entry with buttons or stickers for the fun, so clients cover both logistics and branding.
• Suggest designs that aren't tied to Oct 31. A harvest or autumn theme can carry clients through Thanksgiving events and other fall promotions.

Halloween Promotional Products FAQ

Is it too late to order Halloween promotional products?

Not necessarily. Several items in this post have short production times that begin after proof approval, plus transit. Contact us right away with the quantity, ship-to location and in-hands date, and we'll help you find what's realistic.

Which imprint method should my client choose?

Full color works best for detailed art, photos and lots of colors, which is how our buttons, stickers and sanitizer are printed. Glow-in-the-Dark Silicone Wristbands use silk-screen, so keep that art simple and bold, while stock wristbands ship blank and rely on band color.

How many should my client order?

Start with the minimum and the expected headcount: buttons, stickers and glow wristbands start at 100, sanitizer at 250, stock plastic and vinyl wristbands come in boxes of 500, and Tyvek wristbands start at 1,000. Add a cushion for walk-ups, volunteers and staff.

Can my clients order directly from IDProductsource?

No. We sell only to promotional products distributors, never to end users. Your clients stay your clients, because we're Partners, Not Competitors.

Halloween will be here before you know it, but there's still time to give your clients something fun, useful and on-brand for their big night. Pick your favorites, get proofs approved fast, and let's make this October a treat for your business. 🎃
