Quick answer: A custom fiberglass pickleball paddle costs $23.99 each at the 10-paddle minimum and drops to $18.99 at 500+. Carbon fiber runs $48.99 down to $38.99. Add a one-time $50 setup per design. Covers, sets, logo balls ($1.69 to $1.29 each) and sling bags fill out the rest of a budget.
Custom pickleball paddle cost comes down to three numbers: the paddle you pick, how many you order, and how many designs you print. That's it. No mystery art charges, no "call for pricing" on the core products.
Below is the full price list for every product we print, the volume tiers, worked totals for common order sizes, and the few things that actually change your number.
What does every custom product cost?
Every price below is per unit and includes full-color printing of your logo. The first price is the smallest-order tier. The second is the best tier.
Two things jump out. Fiberglass is less than half the price of carbon at every tier. And a fiberglass set (two paddles, two balls and a bag) costs about what one carbon paddle plus a few dollars does. That makes the set the best value per recipient household.
How do the bulk price tiers work?
The price drops at fixed quantity breaks, and the break applies to the whole order. Order 100 fiberglass paddles and every one of them is $20.99.
Sets break at different points because they start at 5: fiberglass sets go $56.99 (5–9), $54.99 (10–24), $52.99 (25–49), $50.99 (50–124), $48.99 (125–249) and $46.99 (250+). Carbon sets run $106.99, $104.99, $100.99, $96.99, $92.99 and $88.99 on the same breaks.
What does a real order cost?
Here are totals for the order sizes we quote most often. Each includes the one $50 setup for a single design.
Shipping is quoted with your order and depends on weight and destination. Mixing products? Each product prices on its own tier table, so 50 fiberglass paddles and 25 carbon paddles price at the 50 and 25 tiers, and your quote shows the setup count.
Is there a setup fee?
Yes: $50 per design, charged once per order, not per paddle. On a 100-paddle order it adds 50 cents a paddle.
Pantone (PMS) color matching is included, so your brand blue prints as your brand blue at no charge. If a set carries a second design, for example your logo on the paddles and a sponsor's logo on the bag, each extra design is $50. A back print on a paddle cover is $2.50 a unit.

Why does carbon fiber cost twice as much as fiberglass?
The face material costs more, and it plays better. Carbon fiber (T700 UD on our BP Pro) has a grittier surface for more spin and a more controlled feel. Fiberglass is a little poppier and very forgiving.
Both are USA Pickleball Approved, so both are legal for sanctioned play. For gifting, the gap is a tool: fiberglass for big headcounts, carbon for the people you most want to impress. The full breakdown is in fiberglass vs carbon fiber pickleball paddles.
What's the cheapest way to put a logo on the court?
Logo balls. At $1.69 each for 150 (and $1.29 at 2,500+), they're the lowest cost per branded piece we make. They print in one color, on blue, neon green or neon pink balls.
For a big list on a tight budget, split it: a branded paddle for the people who play, logo balls for everyone else. A 1,000-person conference could hand out 1,000 balls ($1,490) and give 25 paddles ($574.75) as booth prizes for about the price of 100 paddles. More on balls in custom pickleball balls with logo.
How much should you budget per person?
Pick the tier that matches the relationship, then multiply.
- Under $5: logo balls, two or three per person.
- $19–$24: a fiberglass paddle. The default for employees, league players and event guests.
- $29–$34: fiberglass paddle + cover. Looks like a gift, not swag.
- $47–$57: a fiberglass set, or a carbon paddle. Great for households and top performers.
- $89–$107: a carbon set. Clients and VIPs.

What doesn't change the price?
A few things buyers expect to cost more don't. Full-color artwork costs the same as a one-color logo on paddles. Edge-to-edge printing on black and tan fiberglass paddles is included. The free digital mockup is free, and you'll see a proof before anything prints.
Turnaround doesn't cost extra either: production is 3–5 business days after you approve the proof, and most orders are in hand within two weeks. See how long custom pickleball paddles take for the full timeline.
