The Budget Edit
Budget promotional products for every occasion
In 2026 we repriced over a thousand products across our core ranges — every change a reduction. The same curated catalogue, at prices set to be compared: pens from 21¢, totes from $1.05, event giveaways from 3¢. The price on the page is the price the quote honours.
The Sense2 Best Price Guarantee
Seen an identical product advertised cheaper by an Australian competitor? Show us the evidence — once we verify the price is genuine, we’ll match it, and do our best to beat it. Curation picks the product; the guarantee settles the price. Full conditions.
Bulk orders are where we’re sharpest
The catalogue is the shop window — the engine room is large-quantity custom production, and it has been for 30 years. Runs of 1,000 to 100,000+ units are manufactured at the source through our vetted international factory network: custom colours, custom materials, custom packaging, or a fully bespoke item designed from scratch for the brand.
Three decades of working with the same factories buys two things most suppliers can’t offer: volume pricing at the source — catalogue tiers are the starting point, not the bulk price — and priority schedulingthat keeps big runs fast. Sense2 manages quality control and on-time delivery on every order, so the speed never comes at the brand’s expense.

Budget buying, answered
What is the Sense2 Best Price Guarantee?
Show us evidence of an Australian competitor's advertised price for an identical product and, once we verify the price is genuine, we'll match it — and do our best to beat it. The guarantee covers Australian promotional-merchandise resellers and excludes clearance lines and advertising errors; the full conditions are in clause 3(c) of our terms.
How did Sense2 prices change in 2026?
We repriced over a thousand products across our five core supplier ranges in August 2026 — every change a reduction. The prices you see on product pages are the live prices those reductions produced, and the quote honours the price on the page.
Does a lower price mean lower quality?
No — the range is curated first and priced second. Every product on the budget pages earned its place the same way everything else in the catalogue did; the 2026 repricing changed the margin, not the product. Where a cheap line failed our standards, it isn't listed at any price.
What budget should I allow per item?
Volume giveaways run $0.03–$1 (tattoos, badges, wristbands), everyday handouts $0.20–$3 (pens, keyrings, stress shapes), keep-items $1–$8 (totes, notebooks, bottles, mugs). At 500–1,000 units, most campaigns land a full branded kit under $5 a head.
Is GST included in the prices shown?
Catalogue prices are shown excluding GST, which is standard for business-to-business promotional pricing in Australia. Your quote itemises GST so the landed total is explicit before you approve anything.
Does Sense2 handle bulk and large-quantity custom orders?
Yes — it's been the core of the business for 30 years. Large runs (1,000 to 100,000+ units) are manufactured at the source through our vetted international factory network, made to your brand's specification: custom colours, materials, packaging, or fully bespoke items designed from scratch. Sense2 manages quality control and on-time delivery on every order. At volume, this sourced-at-origin pricing is where we're most competitive — catalogue tier prices are the starting point, not the bulk price.
How fast can a bulk custom order be produced?
Faster than most buyers expect — the factory relationships are 30 years deep, which means priority scheduling and no middle layers slowing the brief down. Lead times depend on the product, specification and freight route, and express options exist on many lines. Tell us the deadline first and we'll spec the production route to hit it — the quote states the committed timeline before you approve anything.
