Rally Fans
Custom-printed hand fans made to be seen in the crowd
Rally fans turn a printed message into something people can hold, wave, display, and actually use during an event. These custom-printed hand fans work as both a practical handheld fan and a highly visible piece of event signage, making them useful for sporting events, parades, community gatherings, celebrations, fundraisers, campaigns, festivals, and other crowd-focused occasions.
Add your logo, team colors, event artwork, sponsor information, schedule, promotional message, or full-color graphics. With three distinctly different formats available, you can choose the rally hand fan that best fits how and where it will be used.
Three rally fan styles for different events
Rather than treating the three sizes as variations of the same product, choose based on how you want people to interact with the fan.
8.25" × 6.625" Stickless
The stickless rally fan has an integrated hand opening, eliminating the need for a separate handle.
Made from laminated tag stock, it can be printed in full color on the front only or on both sides. The compact format works particularly well for event giveaways, weddings, community gatherings, promotional events, and situations where you want an easy-to-distribute custom hand fan without a wooden stick.
- Material: Laminated Tag Stock
- Handle: Integrated stickless design
- Printing: 4CP Front Only or 4CP Front & Back
7.5" × 7.25" Standard
The Standard option provides the familiar hand fan with handle format, combining a printed fan face with a wooden handle.
Made from White Tag Stock with overlamination on each side, this style works naturally as a promotional hand fan, spectator fan, sponsor piece, or event giveaway. Choose front-only printing for a straightforward design or use both sides to give the fan a second purpose.
- Material: White Tag Stock with overlamination on each side
- Handle: Wood Handle
- Printing: 4CP Front Only or 4CP Front & Back
7.25" × 12.875" Corrugated
The Corrugated option combines the fan face and handle into one piece of White Corrugated Plastic.
Its taller format and integrated handle give artwork more physical presence when the fan is being held or waved, making it particularly useful for sports rally fans, parades, outdoor gatherings, school events, community events, and other high-energy environments.
- Material: White Corrugated Plastic
- Handle: Integrated into the corrugated fan
- Printing: 4CP Front Only or 4CP Front & Back
Need a different shape?
The three online options include Standard, Stickless, and Corrugated formats, but custom rally fan shapes may also be available with a custom quote. Visit our FAQ section to see all the shapes we offer.
One side gets attention. The other can keep working.
Choosing front-and-back printing opens up one of the most useful possibilities of a custom rally fan.
Keep the front visually simple so people can recognize it across a crowd—a logo, team name, event identity, candidate name, slogan, or bold graphic—then use the reverse for information that benefits from being read up close.
The back can carry an event schedule, QR code, contact information, sponsor logos, a promotional offer, a website, social media information, directions, a thank-you message, or another call to action.
For sponsored events, that second side can also give participating businesses useful advertising space instead of leaving the back blank.
Rally fans aren't just for political rallies
The product name may say "rally," but the format works anywhere people gather.
Sports hand fans can carry team branding, mascots, schedules, player information, or sponsor logos. Event hand fans can provide schedules and QR codes at festivals. Businesses can use promotional hand fans for branded summer giveaways. Schools and nonprofits can create sponsor-supported fans for fundraisers. Wedding and celebration designs can combine names, dates, programs, or messages with a functional handheld fan.
Political campaigns can also use political rally fans for candidate names, campaign branding, and event information where permitted. Political use is only one application.
Design for the way the fan will actually be used
A good rally fan needs to work from more than arm's length.
A shape connected to the event—such as a recognizable symbol, theme, or branded silhouette—can make the fan itself part of the creative concept. Contact 215 Prints for a custom quote when the standard online shapes don't fit your needs.
Can I order custom-shaped rally fans?
Custom rally fan shapes may be available even when they are not included among the standard online configurations. If the Standard, Stickless, and Corrugated options don't fit your concept, contact 215 Prints for a custom quote. A custom shape can be particularly useful when the silhouette itself contributes to the event theme, branding, or overall design.

What are rally fans?
Rally fans are custom printed handheld fans designed to be held or waved at events while displaying a message, logo, graphic, or other information. Depending on the style, they may use a wooden handle, an integrated corrugated plastic handle, or a stickless hand opening. 215 Prints offers three rally fan formats with full-color printing for events, teams, businesses, organizations, celebrations, and campaigns.
What are rally fans used for?
Rally fans are used for crowd participation, cooling, event branding, advertising, sponsor recognition, informational messaging, and giveaways. Common applications include sporting events, parades, festivals, school functions, fundraisers, weddings, community gatherings, promotional events, and political rallies. Because they are both functional and printable, rally hand fans can remain visible and useful throughout an event.
What is the difference between the Standard, Stickless, and Corrugated rally fans?
The three rally fan options differ in size, material, and how they are held. The 7.5" × 7.25" Standard fan uses White Tag Stock with overlamination on each side and a wood handle. The 8.25" × 6.625" Stickless fan uses Laminated Tag Stock with an integrated hand opening. The 7.25" × 12.875" Corrugated fan is made from White Corrugated Plastic with an integrated handle.
What is a stickless rally fan?
A stickless rally fan is a handheld fan with an integrated opening for the user's hand instead of a separate stick or handle. This creates a compact, all-in-one format that's convenient for giveaways and events. 215 Prints' 8.25" × 6.625" Stickless Rally Fan is made from Laminated Tag Stock and can be printed in full color on the front or on both sides.
What is a corrugated rally fan?
A corrugated rally fan is a handheld fan made from lightweight corrugated plastic rather than tag stock. The more rigid material and integrated handle make this format useful for sporting events, school functions, parades, rallies, and outdoor gatherings. 215 Prints offers a 7.25" × 12.875" version made from White Corrugated Plastic with full-color printing.
Can rally fans be printed on both sides?
Yes, rally fans can be printed on both sides when the Front & Back option is selected. All three 215 Prints rally fan styles are available with 4CP Front Only or 4CP Front & Back printing. The front can carry the primary artwork while the back can be used for schedules, sponsor logos, QR codes, contact information, promotional offers, or another message.
What does 4CP mean on rally fan printing?
4CP means four-color process printing using cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks to reproduce a broad range of colors. This allows custom printed hand fans to include multicolor logos, photographs, illustrations, gradients, and other detailed artwork rather than being restricted to only one or two printed colors.
Can I put a QR code on a rally fan?
Yes, a QR code can be included in rally fan artwork as long as it is designed at a practical size with enough contrast and clear space for scanning. QR codes can direct attendees to an event schedule, registration page, sponsor offer, donation page, website, social profile, or other online destination. Avoid placing the code too close to cut edges, handles, or visually busy artwork.
Can rally fans be used for sports teams?
Yes, sports teams can use rally fans for team branding, schedules, school spirit, sponsor recognition, and spectator participation.Sports rally fans can feature a team name, mascot, player information, season schedule, sponsor logos, or a message designed to be visible when supporters hold or wave the fans during games.
Can rally fans be used for fundraising?
Yes, rally fans can be incorporated into a fundraising program. Schools, teams, clubs, nonprofits, and community organizations may sell advertising space to sponsors, sell the finished fans to supporters, or combine both approaches. Front-and-back printing is particularly useful when one side promotes the organization or event and the other provides space for participating sponsors.
What should I put on the back of a rally fan?
The back of a rally fan is useful for information that supports the more visual front design. Consider adding an event schedule, sponsor logos, QR code, website, contact details, social media information, promotional offer, team schedule, thank-you message, or event instructions. If visibility from both directions is more important, the primary branding or message can instead continue onto the back.
Are rally fans only for political campaigns?
No, rally fans can be customized for many events beyond political campaigns. They are useful for sports, schools, festivals, parades, weddings, community events, corporate promotions, fundraisers, nonprofits, and other gatherings. Political rally fans are one application, but the product format can be adapted to virtually any event where people will be holding or waving printed fans.
Which rally fan style should I choose?
Choose Standard for a traditional fan with a wood handle, Stickless for a compact design with a built-in hand opening, or Corrugated for a more rigid plastic construction with an integrated handle. Consider how the fans will be distributed, where the event will take place, how attendees will hold them, and the type of presentation you want when deciding which custom rally fan is best for your event.
