Custom Seamless Bandana: 10+ Ways to Wear, Unlimited Colors

PRODUCT GUIDE — YP17005

Custom Seamless Bandana (Headnecker):
One Tube, 10+ Ways to Wear, Unlimited Colors

YesPromotion’s all-time best seller — a single seamless tube of soft polyester that transforms into a headband, neck gaiter, face mask, balaclava, beanie, and more — with full-color sublimation on both sides, 50-piece minimum, 5-day production

The Multi-Functional Headnecker (YP17005) has been YesPromotion’s all-time best-selling item for over a decade. A simple seamless polyester tube, 25×50 cm, that transforms into 10+ wearable styles — at under $2 per piece with just a 50-unit minimum. It is the highest-utility, lowest-cost promotional accessory you can put your brand on.

What Is a Seamless Bandana?

A seamless bandana — also called a neck gaiter, tube bandana, headnecker, or buff — is a continuous tube of stretchy fabric with no seams or stitching. The tubular construction means there are no rough edges to irritate skin, and the fabric stretches in all directions to conform to any head or neck shape.

YesPromotion’s version (SKU: YP17005) is made from 100% polyester microfiber — lightweight (under 30 grams), breathable, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying. The entire surface is custom-printed using dye-sublimation on both sides of the tube, giving you a full 25×50 cm canvas of vivid, photo-quality, fade-resistant graphics.

Full-Color Sublimation Printing

Every YP17005 bandana is printed using dye-sublimation technology, where CMYK ink is transferred onto the polyester fabric under heat (approximately 200°C / 392°F). The ink doesn’t sit on top of the fabric — it physically bonds with the polyester fibers at a molecular level, becoming part of the material itself.

The result: vivid, photo-quality graphics that cover both sides of the tube, edge to edge, with unlimited colors in a single production pass. The print won’t crack, peel, flake, or fade — even after hundreds of washes. And because there is no physical ink layer on the surface, the bandana retains its original softness and breathability.

Sublimation vs. Screen Printing for Bandanas

Screen printing limits you to 1–4 flat spot colors with ink sitting on the fabric surface, which can feel stiff and crack after washing. Sublimation delivers unlimited colors, gradients, and photographs with zero surface texture — the bandana feels the same before and after printing. For a wearable product that contacts bare skin during exercise, this difference in hand-feel is significant.

Pricing & Lead Time

One of the strongest selling points of the YP17005: it delivers exceptional value at a very low per-unit price with no hidden setup fees. Pricing below is ex-works (FOB Taiwan) in USD.

Quantity 50 100 200 300 500
Unit Price (USD) $2.08 $2.04 $1.96 $1.89 $1.77
Production Days 5 5 6 6 7
Setup Charge FREE — No setup or screen charges

★ Distributor & Reseller Discount Program

YesPromotion actively welcomes promotional product suppliers, distributors, and resellers worldwide. Qualified partners receive a starting discount of 20% off listed prices, with further reductions based on cumulative order volume and ongoing business relationship.

This means the prices shown above — already competitive at factory-direct rates — can be significantly lower for distribution partners. Whether you are a promotional products distributor, an ad specialty company, a corporate gifting platform, or a reseller sourcing from Taiwan, we invite you to contact us to discuss your partnership discount tier.

Bulk pricing: Orders above 500 pieces qualify for additional volume discounts under SKUs YP17005+ and YP17005++. Contact us for a custom quote.

Total cost example: 200 custom bandanas with your full-color design = 200 × $1.96 = $392 total at listed price — and even lower with your distributor discount. That’s well under $2 per branded accessory that recipients will wear repeatedly.

Why It’s the Perfect Promotional Item

Promotional products are measured by cost per impression — the price you pay divided by the number of times your brand is seen. The seamless bandana excels on this metric for five reasons:

1. Daily usability: Unlike a pen or keychain that sits in a drawer, a bandana is worn on the head, face, or neck — visible to everyone nearby. The 10+ wearing styles mean recipients find uses for it across seasons and activities.

2. Large print area: At 25×50 cm, the unfolded surface is approximately 1,250 cm² — significantly more print real estate than a hat, wristband, or lanyard. Your logo, pattern, or photographic design wraps the entire tube.

3. Ultra-low cost: At under $2 per piece, it is one of the most affordable full-color promotional textiles available. The zero setup fee means even a 50-piece test order is economical.

4. Lightweight shipping: At under 30 grams each, bandanas are extremely light and compact. You can ship 500 units in a single small carton, keeping logistics costs minimal. They also fit easily into goodie bags, registration packs, and mailer envelopes.

5. Universal appeal: One size fits all, unisex, all ages. No need to stock S/M/L sizes. Works in summer (moisture-wicking headband) and winter (insulating neck gaiter). Appeals to outdoor enthusiasts, sports fans, festival-goers, and everyday commuters alike.

Use Cases by Industry

Sports events & marathons: Participant swag bags, finisher gifts, team identification by color or pattern. Runners wear them as headbands during the race and neck gaiters post-race. High volume, budget-friendly.

Cycling & motorcycle clubs: Club-branded neck protection against wind, sun, and dust. The seamless design eliminates chafing under helmets. Popular as membership gifts and retail merchandise.

Music festivals & concerts: Artist merchandise, VIP access markers (unique designs per tier), sponsor giveaways. Worn as face masks, headbands, or wristbands throughout the event. Photo-quality printing reproduces band artwork in full detail.

Outdoor & adventure brands: Hiking, fishing, skiing, camping — the bandana is a genuine outdoor necessity, not just a branding prop. Functional UV protection and moisture management add real value. Premium perceived value for minimal cost.

Corporate & tech companies: Employee wellness kits, team-building events, hackathon swag. Lightweight enough to include in global mailer campaigns. Popular for remote-team engagement boxes.

Schools & universities: Spirit wear, orientation packs, athletic team identification. School colors and mascots print in full photographic quality. One-size-fits-all simplifies ordering.

Tourism & hospitality: Souvenir shops, tour operator giveaways, resort activity branding. Scenic photography or cultural artwork prints beautifully. Compact and lightweight for tourist carry-along.

Construction & industrial: Sun protection, dust barrier, hard-hat liner. Company logo and safety messaging on a functional daily-use item. High visibility, high wear frequency.

Artwork & Design Tips

Artwork Requirements

Resolution: 300 dpi or higher for best results
Color mode: CMYK (PMS matching also available)
File formats: AI, PSD, PDF, or high-resolution JPG/PNG
Template: Free downloadable template available on the product page
Bleed: Design should extend 2–3 mm beyond the trim line on all edges

Design tip 1 — Think about folded visibility: When worn as a headband or face mask, only a portion of the full 25×50 cm canvas is visible. Place your most important branding element (logo, event name) in the center third of the design so it remains visible in the most common wearing positions.

Design tip 2 — Go bold with patterns: Because the bandana is worn close to the face, subtle designs can get lost. Bold patterns, high-contrast colors, and large-scale graphics make the strongest visual impact.

Design tip 3 — YesPromotion offers free mock-ups: Not sure how your design will look on the finished product? Send your artwork and we will prepare a digital mock-up showing how it renders on the tube shape — at no charge.
