About Custom Lighters
What Are Custom Lighters?
Custom lighters are lighters printed or engraved with your logo, strain art, or brand design and sold wholesale to smoke shops, dispensaries, tobacco retailers, and event promoters. They are one of the oldest promotional products in this industry for a reason — customers actually use them, and they use them constantly.
Most branded merchandise ends up in a drawer. A lighter goes in a pocket. It comes out every time someone lights up, every time a friend asks for a light, every time it gets set on a counter at a dispensary or bar. That kind of repeat exposure is hard to get from a tote bag or a sticker.
Why Dispensaries and Smoke Shops Order Custom Lighters
- Customers use them daily, so your logo gets seen constantly
- Starting at $1.00 per unit, the cost per impression is lower than almost any other merch
- Lighters get borrowed and left behind, which puts your brand in new hands
- They work as counter giveaways, bag stuffers, loyalty rewards, or retail add-ons
- Customizable lighters come in formats for every price point — plastic disposables up to engraved metal
Types of Custom Lighters
Not all lighters are the same, and the right choice depends on your customer base, your budget, and what you want the product to say about your brand. Here is a breakdown of what we carry and who each one is for.
Official BIC Brand Lighters
BIC is the most recognized lighter brand in the world, and that name recognition works in your favor. When a customer pulls out a BIC with your logo on it, they already trust the product before they even flip the wheel. These are real BIC lighters from official distribution — not generic lighters dressed up to look like them.
We print them two ways: full-color digital for designs with gradients, photos, or complex artwork, and single-color screen print for bold, clean logos where coverage and crispness matter more than color range. BIC lighters are US-only due to shipping regulations.
Why BIC Lighters Work
- Customers already know and trust the brand
- Consistent quality — same flame, same fuel level, every time
- Child-resistant mechanism built in
- Good fuel capacity; lasts months with regular use
- Wheel ignition that actually works reliably
BIC Customization Options
- Full-color digital printing for photo-quality designs
- Single-color screen printing for logos and simple artwork
- Assorted body colors — light or dark palettes
- Wrap-around designs on select configurations

View ProductPlastic Promotional Lighters
If you need volume and you need it cheap, plastic promotional lighters start at $1.00 per unit. These are not BIC, but they are a functional lighter that works. Dispensaries use them for counter giveaways and bag stuffers. Event promoters order them by the thousand for festivals. They come in transparent or solid color bodies and take a screen-printed logo well.

The most affordable option we carry. Transparent or solid color bodies, screen-printed logo. Order them by the hundreds or thousands.
View ProductWhere Plastic Lighters Make Sense
- Counter giveaways at dispensaries and smoke shops
- Festival and event swag bags
- Grand opening promotions where you need to give out a lot
- Take-one displays at retail checkout
- High-volume loyalty or referral programs
Premium Metal Lighters
Metal lighters are in a different category entirely. They are refillable, they are heavy, and customers do not throw them away. A laser-engraved logo on a stainless steel lighter is not going to rub off after a month in someone's pocket. These work well as retail SKUs, VIP gifts, or higher-end branded merchandise for cannabis brands that want to be taken seriously.
DuoNova Lighter
From $27.50
Metal body with both soft-flame and torch modes. Useful for customers who smoke cigarettes and cigars, or who dab.

Stainless Steel Lighter
From $36.00
Solid stainless steel with real weight to it. Laser engraving goes deep and stays there. A strong retail or gift option.
View ProductTorch & Jet Flame Lighters
Torch lighters burn butane through a narrow nozzle, which gives you a focused blue flame that does not blow out in the wind. Cigar smokers want them for even toasting. Cannabis concentrate users need them for heating quartz or titanium. If your customer base skews toward either of those groups, a branded torch lighter is a relevant and useful product — not just a giveaway.
Nova Jet Flame Lighter
From $9.00
Adjustable jet flame with a visible fuel window. Wind-resistant and easy to use outdoors.
View Product
Torchit Compact Torch Lighter
From $27.50
Compact metal torch lighter. Built for cigars and concentrate use. A retail-worthy product, not just a promotional item.

How to Pick
Plastic lighters make sense when you need volume and cost is the priority — events, grand openings, bag stuffers. BIC is the right call when you want customers to actually keep the lighter and think well of your brand. Metal lighters are for retail, VIP programs, or gift sets. Torch lighters are a niche product, but they sell well in dispensaries and tobacconists where the customers actually know what they are for.
Our Complete Custom Lighter Collection
Browse our full range of customizable lighters. Every product can be printed or engraved with your logo, and most support custom packaging for retail or gift use.
Lighter Customization Options
The print method matters as much as the lighter itself. Different surfaces, different budgets, and different design types call for different techniques. Here is what we use and when each one makes sense.
Full-Color Digital Printing
Available on BIC lighters and select plastic models. Good for detailed artwork, gradients, and multi-color designs. You can use photographs or complex brand graphics without a setup fee per color.
Screen Printing
Single or multi-color printing, one color at a time. Cost-effective for simple logos and text. The ink bonds well to plastic and holds up through the life of the lighter.
Laser Engraving
Used on metal lighters. The laser burns directly into the surface, so there is no ink to wear off. The finish is permanent and has a quality feel that printed lighters do not match.
Wrap-Around Designs
Full-coverage printing that goes around the body of the lighter. More brand real estate, visible from any angle. Available on select models.
Custom Body Colors
Match your brand colors with specific lighter bodies. Available in transparent, solid, metallic, and specialty finishes depending on the model.
Gift Packaging
Branded gift boxes for metal lighters. Ready for retail shelves or use as a gift set. We can brand the box as well as the lighter.
Wholesale & Bulk Lighter Pricing
All our custom lighters are priced for wholesale buyers. The more you order, the lower your per-unit cost. Here is how the tiers generally break down.

What is the minimum order quantity for custom lighters?
It depends on the lighter. Plastic promotional lighters typically start at 250-500 units. BIC lighters generally have minimums around 150-300 units. Premium metal lighters can go as low as 25-50 units since the unit cost is higher. Contact us and we can confirm the MOQ for the specific product you are looking at.
Are your BIC lighters authentic?
Yes. We source genuine BIC lighters through official distribution. You get the actual child-resistant mechanism, the consistent ignition, and everything else BIC is known for. We do not substitute generics.
How durable is the printing on custom lighters?
Screen prints and digital prints on BIC and plastic lighters are designed to last as long as the lighter itself. They hold up to pocket friction and handling well. Laser engraving on metal lighters is permanent — there is no coating to scratch off because the logo is cut directly into the surface.
Can lighters be shipped to all states?
BIC brand lighters ship to US addresses only. Other lighter types can ship more broadly, but carrier restrictions vary. We use carriers with experience handling lighter shipments and make sure orders are packaged properly. If you have a specific destination in mind, reach out before ordering and we can confirm.
What's the difference between soft flame and torch lighters?
A soft flame lighter produces a traditional yellow flame — the kind you see on a candle. It works fine for cigarettes and general use indoors. A torch lighter forces butane through a narrow nozzle and produces a focused blue flame that burns hotter and does not blow out in the wind. Cigar smokers prefer torch lighters for even, controlled toasting. Cannabis concentrate users rely on them for heating nails and bangers.
Can I order samples before bulk ordering?
Yes. We offer unbranded samples so you can check the quality of the actual lighter before committing to a run. Pre-production samples with your logo are also available at additional cost. Contact our sales team to set that up.
How should metal lighters be refilled?
Metal lighters run on butane. Use a quality refined butane for the cleanest burn — cheap butane with impurities will clog the nozzle over time. The refill valve is on the bottom of the lighter. Purge any remaining gas before refilling, fill in short 3-5 second bursts, and let the lighter sit for a few minutes before using it.
