Custom Auction Paddles

Custom Auction Paddles

Custom auction paddles make every bid easy to spot while showcasing your event branding. Whether you're organising a charity auction, fundraising gala, school event or professional sale, our printed bidding paddles help auctioneers identify bidders quickly and keep your event running smoothly.

Custom Printed Bidding Paddles

Choose from two standard paddle styles or create a custom shape to match your logo, event theme or branding. Each paddle can be personalised with bidder numbers, logos, colours and artwork, making them suitable for everything from one-off charity fundraisers to regular auction events.

Print on one side for a cost-effective option, or choose double-sided printing to display bidder numbers towards the auctioneer and your branding towards the audience.

Materials and thicknesses

• 2mm matt board: A lightweight, economical choice for one-off charity auctions, school fundraisers and events.
• 3mm PVC foam board: Lightweight yet rigid, ideal for fundraising evenings and occasional use.
• 5mm PVC foam board: A thicker, more substantial option for professional auctions and regularly organised events.
• 10mm PVC foam board: Our thickest option, providing extra rigidity for paddles intended for repeated use.

Printing options

• Single-sided or double-sided printing.
• Full-colour printing for bidder numbers, logos and event artwork.
• Two standard paddle styles or a custom-cut shape.

Lamination and finishes

• Matt: Reduces glare from stage lighting and camera flashes, helping bidder numbers remain visible.
• Gloss: Creates a vibrant, polished finish that makes colours and branding stand out.
• Dry-wipe: Allows bidder numbers to be written, wiped clean and updated, making paddles reusable across multiple events.

Auction Paddles for Fundraising and Professional Events

Our personalised auction paddles are suitable for charity auctions, fundraising dinners, school events, corporate functions and professional auction houses.

For one-off events, lightweight board provides an affordable way to give every guest a numbered paddle. If you regularly organise auctions, thicker PVC foam board with a dry-wipe finish allows you to reuse your paddles and update bidder numbers between events.

Custom shapes and full-colour printing also provide an opportunity to incorporate sponsor logos, event branding or distinctive designs that stand out in photographs.
