Outdoor Games with Logo for Events: A Guide to the Activity Zone

Outdoor games with a logo are the cheapest way to showcase your company brand in an event's activity zone — a frisbee with screen printing costs from EUR 1.08/pc at 250 pcs, a beach games set from EUR 2.12/pc at 100 pcs, and a wooden tower tumbling game from EUR 3.08/pc. Production with printing usually takes 4–7 business days plus 2–3 days for delivery, so for July and August events you should confirm your order at least two weeks in advance. Below is how to put together a zone so the games actually get used and end up staying with your employees after the event.

What to include in an activity zone: the basic logic

A zone that works usually has three layers. First — moving games that catch attention from a distance: frisbees, beach sets with paddles and a ball. Second — table-level games that make people sit down and stay: wooden tower tumbling, brain teasers, cards. Third — small prizes and a keepsake to take home.

A practical rule of thumb: if you expect 100 participants, 8–12 active game units (frisbee, beach set) and 4–6 table games per zone are enough, while prizes should be calculated for 30–50% of participants. All these items can be found in the games catalogue section and the wider range of promotional products.

Where a logo works, and where it doesn't

On a frisbee, the logo is visible in motion and in photos — it's the best spot for a large, single-colour design. On wooden games, it's better to engrave or print the logo on the box and a few elements rather than everything — otherwise setup costs for printing exceed the price of the game itself. On cards and puzzles, it makes more sense to print a full-colour image on the packaging.

Prices and quantities

Prices are indicative, excl. VAT, for a single print colour. For each item in the quote, we list the setup (die/file) fee separately.

At 250–500 pcs, the price per piece drops; for small quantities (10–25 pcs), the setup fee makes up most of the cost, so for these volumes it's more cost-effective to choose products with a digital sticker or digital printing.

Printing methods and logo sizes

Screen printing — for plastic and fabric, 1–3 colours, lowest price at large volumes. Pad printing — for small, curved surfaces (box lids, plastic parts). Laser engraving — for wood; the logo comes out dark brown, without colour, and doesn't wear off. Full-colour digital printing — for mats, cards, packaging, when you need a photo or gradient.

Logo files should be sent as vector graphics (.ai, .eps, .pdf, .svg), colours in CMYK or Pantone; raster images at 300 dpi. If you only have a PNG from your website, let us know — we redraw simple logos.

The zone as a whole: not just games

An activity zone also needs landmarks and a visual frame. The most practical set-up: 2–3 beach flags or roll-up banner stands at the entrance, a PVC banner with a scoreboard, laminated A3 game rules cards on the tables (rain-resistant), and team numbers from stickers on T-shirts. Organiser and team shirts with printing — standard print areas: left chest 110×90 mm, front and back up to 280×210 mm, sleeve 80×60 mm.

If the event is outdoors, plan for shade and wind: frisbees and light cardboard elements get lost in the wind, but wooden games and laminated cards hold up.

Lead times: how long to allow in July

Promotional products with printing are usually ready in 6–10 business days (production 4–7 business days depending on quantity, plus delivery 2–3 days). Our own printing — stickers, posters, business cards, game rules cards — 1–3 business days. During the summer season it's worth confirming your order 2–3 weeks before the event; urgent jobs we look at separately on a case-by-case basis.

You can leave a request in the catalogue by adding products to a list. Within one business day we'll send you a quote online and a PDF with product images, prices, print area, setup fee and lead time for each item; on request we prepare a 3D preview with your logo, and you can approve the artwork by email.

Frequently asked questions

How many games do I need for an event with 100 people?

A rough guide: 8–12 active games (frisbees, beach sets), 4–6 table games per zone, and prizes for 30–50% of participants. If the zone runs all day without registration, it's better to plan for the maximum, since participants take some of the games home with them.

Can I order just a few pieces?

Yes. Some products are available from 1 pc — for example, the Ace cards set from EUR 0.86/pc or the Bark wooden puzzle from EUR 3.44/pc. Keep in mind that the setup fee has a significant impact on the price per piece for small runs.

What format should the logo be sent in?

Vector graphics: .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg, colours in CMYK or Pantone. Raster images need at least 300 dpi at the actual print size.

Can the logo on wooden games be in colour?

Yes — with screen printing or DTF transfer. Laser engraving is always single-tone (dark brown), but it's the most durable solution and looks great on untreated wood.

How long do I have to wait for a quote?

We send a quote with prices, print areas and lead times within one business day of receiving your request.

Can you also print game rules and team numbers?

Yes, that's done at our own facility at Kandavas iela 29A: laminated cards, posters A4–A0, stickers and banners — usually 1–3 business days.
