Sequin vs Silk vs Bamboo: Choosing Your Custom Fan Finish
Once you’ve decided on custom fans, the next choice is finish. Sequin, silk-panel, and bamboo each create a different impression — here’s how to choose.
| Finish | Look | Best for | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bamboo | Natural, classic | Booths, weddings, everyday | $ |
| Silk-panel | Premium, photo-real | Luxe launches, fashion | $$ |
| Sequin | Shimmer, reveal | Performers, VIP, photos | $$$ |
Bamboo: the all-rounder
Warm, light, affordable, and available at high volume — the default for most programs.
Silk-panel: the print showcase
Satin reproduces photography and gradients with a soft sheen; choose it when the artwork is the star.
Sequin: the show-stopper
Maximum shimmer and a reversible reveal — a smaller signature run alongside a larger printed order is the smart play.
Bamboo for volume and value, silk-panel when the artwork leads, sequin for a signature show-stopper. Many clients combine a printed run with a small premium run.
