Lighters- 8 items

Promotional lighters - when they make sense

A lighter has one quality you cannot buy: people actually use it. It does not end up in a drawer like most trade show giveaways - it travels through pockets, across bar tables and between friends. Your logo is seen dozens of times before the gas runs out.

That is why lighters work best wherever people gather: hospitality venues, clubs, festivals and outdoor events, shops with a counter, and delegate packs. They also work well as a small addition to a larger shipment - tucked into an order, a welcome pack for a new partner, or a box heading to a trade fair.

Eight models in the range

All of them have a plastic body and all of them are branded the same way, with full-colour UV print. They differ in shape, ignition type and extra features.

• NM-1 - the lowest-priced model in the range. Flint-wheel ignition. Longer and narrower than the rest at 87×20 mm. It has no valve, so it cannot be refilled with gas.
• NM-1 OPENER - the same model with a bottle opener. The most affordable lighter with an opener that we stock.
• EB-15 - the classic 77×22 mm shape with piezo ignition, a white body and a white cap. The base model of the whole EB-15 family, and it can be refilled with gas.
• EB-15 COLOUR - the same lighter with the cap in one of five colours: black, red, blue, green or yellow. The body stays white, and that is the surface we print on.
• EB-15 OPENER - the version with a bottle opener.
• EB-15 LED - the version with a built-in LED torch.
• SM-3 - a more contemporary design and a more careful finish at a sensible price. Same dimensions as the EB-15.
• 9755206 - a step up in finish and slightly larger at 80×24 mm. The only model that starts at five hundred pieces.

Full colour, no compromises

Lighters are branded with full-colour digital UV printing, using UV LED technology. The process is non-contact - the print head never touches the item, and the ink cures under UV light the moment it is laid down.

In practice that means three things. First, you do not have to reduce your logo to two colours: we print in CMYK, so gradients, shadows and photographs are all fine. Second, there is no tooling stage - no screens, plates or dies to make - so short runs are not penalised by a setup cost. Third, the finished print resists water, damp and sunlight, and the item is ready immediately, with no varnishing or drying stage.

We print on Japanese-built machines designed for precise work on small objects. One piece of practical advice: just because very fine text can be printed does not mean it should be. Set an address or a phone number slightly larger so it can be read without glasses.

Free graphic design

You do not need finished artwork. For every order placed with us we prepare a simple print design free of charge.

Send us your logo - a vector file is best, though a good quality image file will do - along with all the text that should appear on the lighter: address, slogan, website. A plain email is enough, no forms to fill in. You will receive a proof to approve, and only then does production start, so nothing is printed before you have seen it.

If you have your own artwork, prepare it at 1:1 scale as a PDF or TIF, in CMYK, at 600 dpi, with all text converted to curves. For double-sided branding we need two separate files.

Safety

Every model in the range meets the ISO 9994:2006 quality standard and the EN 13869 standard, which covers the child resistance mechanism.

Lead time

Typically 5-7 working days from the start of production, depending on the product. The calculator on the product page shows the exact lead time for the options you pick - finishing or personalisation can extend it. Production starts once we have everything: a correct file, your approval of the proof where required, the payment recorded, and for disc replication and duplication the source material delivered.
