About the Wood-Rib Heritage Fans
The wood-rib heritage fan is the most refined clack we make. Lacquered hardwood ribs give the fan real weight in the hand and a deeper, more resonant snap than lighter materials — a sound that feels substantial rather than sharp. It’s the fan for programs where the object should feel like a gift, not a handout.
Hardwood ribs are sanded, lacquered, and riveted for durability and a smooth open-and-close action, and the printed fabric panel is dye-sublimated in full color so your brand still reads clearly against the premium frame. The result is a fan that balances heritage craft with modern print — equally at home at a black-tie wedding, a luxury retail activation, or a headline performer’s kit.
Because the materials and finishing are more involved, wood-rib fans are the top of the range and are usually ordered in smaller, higher-value runs — VIP gifts, performer signature pieces, and upscale wedding favors. Many clients pair a modest run of wood-rib fans for guests of honor with a larger run of bamboo or plastic fans for the wider crowd. When you want the clack to feel like luxury, this is the one.
Because wood-rib fans are finished by hand, we’ll confirm rib colour, lacquer sheen, and any personalization before production, and lead times can run a little longer than printed styles — so share your date early. They’re ideal as a small, high-value run: performer signature pieces, head-table wedding gifts, or VIP keepsakes, often ordered alongside a larger bamboo or plastic run for everyone else. Individual sleeves and gift packaging are available, and we can foil or deboss a name on the guard rib for a truly bespoke keepsake. If you want an object guests keep on a shelf long after the event, the wood-rib fan is the one to reach for.
