Wholesale Hand Fans Buyer’s Guide
How ordering works, from your first enquiry to a confirmed order.
This guide explains how wholesale hand fan ordering works on this site, from your first enquiry to a confirmed order. It applies across all five catalogue ranges: paper and bamboo, silk and satin, custom printed and promotional, wedding and ceremony, and fabric folding fans. There is no published price list because pricing depends on range, finish and order volume, and every request is quoted individually. Wholesale Hand Fans is the international arm of an established hand fan wholesaler trading since 2011 and based in Occitanie (Hérault), France, serving trade buyers across the UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, plus (through dedicated local-language catalogues) France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Czechia, Poland, Greece and Romania.
Who Buys From This Catalogue
Four buyer types account for most orders across the five ranges, each with a different typical range, order size and timeline.
Wedding Suppliers and Planners
The main buyers of Wedding & Ceremony Fans, and frequent buyers of the Paper & Bamboo range for rustic or outdoor ceremonies. Planners handling several weddings in a season typically order ahead of the April to August peak and standardise on one colourway across events.
Event Agencies and Promotional Buyers
The primary audience for Custom Printed & Promotional Fans, including local authorities, food and beverage brands and sports associations running a branded campaign. Orders are usually tied to a specific artwork run and often repeat for a second activation once a campaign performs.
Hospitality Groups
Hotels, spas and restaurants are the core buyers of Silk & Satin Fans for guest-facing use and Fabric Folding Fans for daily handling in changing rooms and terraces, where moisture resistance matters more than branding.
Gift Shops and Retail Buyers
Tourist retail and gift shops buy across the Paper & Bamboo and Silk & Satin ranges for resale, usually starting with a 100 to 300-piece trial batch in one or two colourways before a seasonal restock.

Questions From Trade Buyers
Who can request a quote?
Registered businesses buying for resale or professional use: wedding suppliers and planners, event agencies, promotional and marketing buyers, and hospitality groups. This is a trade catalogue, not a consumer shop.
What information should I include in a quote request?
Company name, the range and product type you are interested in, your target quantity, your event date if relevant, and your delivery market. The more specific the request, the faster we can return an accurate quote.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing is quote-based and depends on range, fabric or paper type, finish and order volume. We do not publish a fixed price list because these factors vary by request.
What order quantities are available?
Minimum order is 100 pieces per range. Unit pricing steps down at 500, 1,000 and 2,000-plus pieces, confirmed with your quote.
Do you deliver to my country?
We coordinate delivery across the UK, US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, with dedicated local-language catalogues and delivery for France, Germany, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Czechia, Poland, Greece and Romania. Confirm your delivery address and market when you submit a quote request.
Can I mix ranges or colours in one order?
Yes. Many buyers combine ranges, for example a wedding order across the ceremony and silk-satin ranges, or mix colourways within one range. List everything you need in the message field of the quote form.
Do you offer a printed ceremony programme?
Yes, on the wedding and ceremony range. The order of service, names, readings and thanks can be printed on the front or back of the fan. Send your text and layout preference and we return a proof, with a 15 working day turnaround.
How long does it take to receive a quote?
We review every request individually and respond directly by email. Response time depends on the complexity and scale of the request.
Can I place a repeat order next season?
Yes. Once your first quote and requirements are on file, reordering ahead of the following season is straightforward. Contact us with your reference details.
