CHF 35.- setup — machine setup, file handling and proof approval included
Cricket Original lighters remain a practical promotional product: small, inexpensive to distribute and useful beyond the event. Even for people who do not smoke, a lighter has plenty of everyday uses and can find a place in a drawer, car, toolbox, bar or pocket.

What makes this project different
With Cricket, the choices go beyond the logo to print sides and colours. Front and back can carry the same design or two different messages: a logo on one side and a phone number, slogan, QR code or social handle on the other. Each extra colour, side or variant adds production complexity.
Three examples from recent orders
Recent orders show different uses for the same product. Vincent Hauswartungen Buttisholz uses Cricket as a practical local giveaway. Sanvitech Sanitär Sursee uses the contrast between a black lighter and a white logo. And Fabrik4 uses its own Cricket as a workshop and customer gift, providing a direct example of the print finish, feel and consistency across a batch.
Pad printing: one or two colours, one or two sides
Cricket lighters are usually customised with pad printing. A clean one-colour print is enough for many logos. If a second brand colour is needed, two-colour pad printing is possible. Then comes the choice of sides: front only, the same design on both sides or different front and back designs.
These choices directly affect production. Each additional colour and print side means more setup, coordination and checking. Before ordering, it helps to agree what must be visible, what can be simplified and which information belongs on each side.
Artwork preparation without unnecessary complications
Artwork preparation is part of the job. The logo needs to remain readable on a small surface and be properly set up as vector artwork. We check line weights, spacing, colours and placement, then prepare a proof before production. This makes the role of each printed side clear.
Why lighters still work as giveaways
Lighters are useful beyond smoking: for candles, barbecues, workshops, camping, restaurants, bars and households. A working lighter can stay in circulation for a long time. It is small enough to take along, useful enough to keep and suited to larger promotional runs.
