How Double Side Custom Crayons Are Manufactured

Why double-sided custom crayons are effective for marketing campaigns

Unlike standard giveaways, promotional products must provide ongoing value to ensure repeated brand exposure. Double-sided crayons achieve this through both design efficiency and user experience.

Increased usability and engagement

With two usable ends, double-sided crayons extend product life and usability. This encourages repeated interaction, especially among children—making them ideal for campaigns targeting families.

More branding surface

The dual-ended format allows for more creative branding applications. Logos, color coding, or campaign messaging can be integrated into both sides or the packaging.

Cost-efficient promotional solution

Compared to larger promotional items, custom crayons are lightweight and compact. This reduces production and shipping costs, making them suitable for high-volume campaigns.

How custom crayons are manufactured

Manufacturing crayons is not as simple as we think. It follows an elaborate process of melting and molding wax to create the colorful pieces we use at school, work, and art projects.

How Double Side Custom Crayons Are Manufactured

• The Melting Process: The process starts with melting large quantities of uncolored paraffin wax. Then, the workers will add a pigment/mixture of pigments into the liquid paraffin to give it color. The ingredients are thoroughly mixed to ensure its consistency and to prevent bubbles and lumps.
• Casting: The mixture is then poured into a crayon shaped moulding table either manually or through an injection machine. The moulds are then left to cool down. Shape and size of each mould may vary according to clients’ requirements. Often, such items are manufactured in large quantities, and this may affect the MOQ or Minimum Order Quantity. So, if you are looking to manufacture in China, here is everything you need to know about MOQ and how to lower order quantity:

• Quality Check: Quality control officers will check the crayons for chips, lumps, bubble holes, and other defects. The defective pieces will go through the same melting and moulding processes once again.
• Wrapping and Branding: After the quality inspection, wrapping and labeling follows suit. Machines will wrap and box each crayons up. These crayons are now ready for shipment!
