A cool way to keep your logo in recipients' hands! When the temperature climbs at a summer trade show, an outdoor festival or a packed conference hall, there's one promotional product that recipients will reach for again and again: a hand-held, battery-operated mini fan. For marketers looking for a practical, memorable giveaway with real staying power, custom mini fans tick every box.
At Flashbay, we screen print your logo onto rechargeable mini fans that are designed to be kept and used for years. Below we take a closer look at our two popular models - Bliss and Swirla - and answer the questions savvy marketing professionals ask most often.
If you already know a mini fan is right for your campaign, you can request a free quick quote at any time and our Account Managers will send you pricing and a fast virtual proof with your logo so you can place your order with confidence.
Why Branded Mini Fans Work So Well for Marketing Campaigns
Promotional products succeed when they combine usefulness, visibility and longevity - and mini fans deliver on all three. They're lightweight enough to slip into a goodie bag or merch pack, eye-catching enough to spark conversation on an exhibition stand, and practical enough that recipients actually want to hold on to them. Every model in our range is rechargeable via an included USB-A to USB-C cable, runs on a whisper-quiet motor and arrives in environmentally friendlier, plant-based packaging. With a minimum order quantity of just 10 units and an 8-working-day lead time for orders up to 5,000 units, mini fans suit everything from small VIP gifts to large-scale event handouts.
Bliss Mini Fan
The Bliss Mini Fan is built to beat the heat wherever your recipients go. It pairs a whisper-quiet, reliable motor with three adjustable speed settings, so users can dial in exactly the right amount of airflow. A clever fold-and-stand function means the Bliss can be held in the hand or set down on a desk, table or exhibition counter - making it just as at home in the office as it is at an outdoor event.
On a single charge, the Bliss delivers up to 7 hours of runtime on the low setting and around 2 hours on high, recharging quickly via the supplied USB-A to USB-C cable. Measuring 90mm x 200mm x 42mm and weighing just 150 grams, it's substantial enough to feel premium yet compact enough to carry all day. Your branding is applied by screen printing in up to three solid colours, with a generous print area of 56mm x 20mm on the front and 65mm x 20mm on the back - giving your logo real prominence on both sides.
The Bliss arrives in a translucent, plant-based biodegradable bag inside a Kraft card box, complete with its charging cable and user manual. It also carries a full suite of compliance certifications - CA65, CE, FCC, PSE, REACH, RoHS and VCCI - for confident corporate gifting. Ready to put your brand front and centre?

Swirla Mini Fan
The Swirla Mini Fan is one of our most popular handheld designs - a sleek, slimline fan that's easy to slip into a bag, pocket or lanyard pouch. It features the same whisper-quiet motor technology as the rest of our range, with three fan speeds (Low, Medium and High) that let recipients fine-tune their cooling on the move. Designed to be kept and used for years to come, the Swirla is the kind of practical giveaway that keeps your brand circulating long after an event has ended.
Like the Bliss, the Swirla is rechargeable via an included USB-A to USB-C cable and offers up to 7 hours of runtime on low and roughly 2 hours on high. Its compact dimensions - 138mm x 65mm x 34.2mm - and feather-light 90-gram weight make it especially well suited to mass handouts where shipping volume and pocketability matter. Your logo is screen printed in up to three solid colours within a 12mm x 50mm branding area, ideal for clean, bold wordmarks and simple logos.
Every Swirla is supplied in a plant-based biodegradable bag and Kraft card box, with its charging cable and user manual included. It meets CE, FCC, PSE, REACH, RoHS and VCCI standards, so you can distribute it with complete peace of mind. To see the Swirla branded with your own artwork, request a free quick quote and we'll prepare a virtual proof for you.
Branding Your Mini Fans: Screen Printing Explained
Both the Bliss and the Swirla are decorated using screen printing - the most established and widely trusted method for printing onto promotional objects. Our prices always include screen printing in up to three colours across the available print areas, producing vibrant, durable, solid-colour results that stand up to everyday use. For the sharpest finish, logo artwork should be supplied in a vector format such as .eps, .ai or .cdr, with fonts converted to outlines and all colours set as solid tones rather than gradients or shades.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are Flashbay mini fans powered?
All of our mini fans are rechargeable - there are no disposable batteries to replace. Each fan charges via the included USB-A to USB-C cable, so recipients can top them up from a laptop, power bank or standard USB charger.
How long does the battery last between charges?
Runtime depends on the speed setting. Our mini fans deliver up to 7 hours on the low setting and approximately 2 hours on the high setting before they need recharging.
What is the minimum order quantity?
You can order from just 10 units. Whether you need a small batch for a VIP event or thousands for a major exhibition, our Account Managers will look after you either way.
How long does delivery take?
We operate an 8-working-day lead time for orders up to 5,000 units, and that single window covers assembly, customisation and delivery. For larger orders the timeline is a little longer - your Account Manager will confirm the exact schedule on your quote.
Can I see my logo before I commit to an order?
Absolutely. When you request a quote we'll send you a virtual proof showing your logo in position, and we can arrange a dummy sample too. There's no obligation to order at any stage.
How will my logo be applied?
Our mini fans are branded using screen printing in up to three solid colours, included as standard in your price. Supply your artwork in a vector format (.eps, .ai or .cdr) with fonts outlined for the best possible result, and our team will guide you through the rest.
Is the packaging environmentally friendly?
Yes. Every mini fan is packed in a translucent bag made from plant-based, biodegradable material - a more environmentally friendly alternative to standard plastic polybags - and presented in a Kraft card box.
Are the fans certified for safety and quality?
Our mini fans carry a range of international compliance certifications, which may include CE, FCC, PSE, REACH, RoHS, VCCI and CA65 depending on the model, giving you confidence when gifting to clients and staff.
