Timber and bamboo chairs for gifts and venues
Timber deck chairs give the largest flat fabric panel in the range, which is why beach clubs, resorts and festival lounges use them. The Wooden Beach Chair has a pine frame and a 128cm x 58cm sling in seven colours. The Wave Beach Chair slots together from two bamboo pieces.
Aluminium recliners for staff and client gifts
The Caribee Balmoral and Palm Beach chairs weigh 3.1kg and have five recline positions. The Kirra and Lesands are simpler striped aluminium sling chairs with a carry strap.
Inflatable chairs for pools and activations
Inflatable chairs pack small for mailing and pop-up events. The Inflatable Lounge Chair has a zip-off neoprene cover, so the artwork can change between campaigns. The PVC chairs carry a supplier warning that they will not protect against drowning.
How beach chairs are branded
The decoration method follows the surface. Screen print is the usual method for beach chairs. It puts solid-colour ink on the fabric sling or backrest, and the unit cost falls as the quantity rises. Sublimation prints full colour across a whole timber deck chair sling. The ink is dyed into the polyester, so it does not crack or peel. Bamboo and timber slats take laser engraving. PVC inflatables list screen or digital print, and the Inflatable Lounge Chair cover is printed by full-colour dye sublimation.
For most orders, screen print in one to three solid colours is the right choice. Choose sublimation for a gradient or photo. The artwork team confirms the method on your proof.
Product pages offer one, two or three position decoration.
Ordering: minimums, artwork and lead times
There is no minimum order on beach chairs. Each order has a one-off setup for the logo, so the price per chair drops noticeably from around 10 units. Chairs are quoted rather than priced online. The quote shows quantity breaks, decoration, setup and the total, and no charges are added after you approve it. Colours of the same chair can be mixed and the whole order counts toward volume pricing. The Low Profile and director's timber chairs ship only in cartons of 2, so order those in even numbers.
You do not need artwork to ask for a quote. Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG or vector PDF) are best for screen print and engraving. A 300 dpi PNG, JPG or TIFF at print size suits full-colour methods. Every branded order gets a free digital proof showing the chair, colours, logo size, position and method, and nothing goes to production until you approve it. Undecorated samples are available, and you can see chairs at our Annandale showroom by arrangement.
Some stocked orders can be ready the same day, and your quote confirms the timing. A longer lead time gives a better unit price, and rush production costs more and narrows the choice of chair. Chairs made to order offshore usually travel by sea and take up to about six weeks, which gives the best unit price on bulky items. Chairs are bulky, so delivery is quoted as freight, and ordering bulky items together saves on delivery. After dispatch, metro deliveries usually take 1 to 3 business days and regional deliveries 3 to 7. See our shipping information for the basics.
Who orders branded beach chairs
- A surf life saving club or council sets out printed deck chairs as a sponsor lounge, then reuses them each season.
- A property developer or resort gives aluminium recliners as settlement or guest gifts. The Caribee recliners fold flat and weigh 3.1kg.
