Pricing & quantities

How much do custom tennis dampeners cost?

Custom tennis dampeners from Custom Tennis Dampeners cost as low as $1.19 per dampener on large orders. Each one is custom-molded in premium silicone from your own logo, colors, and shape, trusted by the USTA, WTA, ITF, and 100+ brands, so the price depends on quantity, mold, and design, and per-unit pricing falls as the quantity rises. Your quote and digital mockup are free, and same-artwork reorders waive the mold setup cost.

Do you offer bulk custom tennis dampeners for organizations?

Yes. We produce volume orders for clubs, tournaments, universities, teams, brands, agencies, and other tennis organizations. Pricing is based on quantity, artwork, color runs, and mold setup, with lower per-unit pricing at higher quantities.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Custom orders start at 50 pieces, enough for a team or a club’s first run, and per-unit pricing falls as the quantity rises. Separate color runs may require a minimum quantity per color, so please include your desired color breakdown when requesting a quote.

What is included in the quote?

Your quote includes product pricing, mold setup details, and reorder savings when applicable.

Do I pay to request a quote?

No. The quote and artwork review are free. You approve the design before the order moves into production.

Who do you produce custom dampeners for?

We have produced custom dampeners for hundreds of organizations across more than a decade, including national governing bodies such as the USTA, the LTA, Tennis Australia, and the International Tennis Federation; more than 50 universities including Harvard, Columbia, Baylor, and BYU; private clubs including Hurlingham and Congressional; and brands including ASICS, Lululemon, BMW, and Chase. Orders run from a club’s first fifty pieces to single runs of tens of thousands.

How does pricing work for large orders?

Per-unit pricing drops as quantity rises, so a club ordering several hundred pays less per dampener than a team ordering fifty. Your quote is built from quantity, artwork, the number of color runs, and mold setup. Shipping and handling are included in most quotes, and molds are reusable, so reorders save on the setup costs.

Do you offer wholesale pricing for pro shops and retailers?

Yes. Wholesale pricing is based on volume, so the per-unit cost falls as the order size rises. Our team can give you the specific details for the quantities you have in mind — include them with your quote request.

Can we order for an entire club, team, or tournament at once?

Yes. We produce volume orders for clubs, tournaments, universities, teams, brands, and agencies. One order can carry several colors or designs, and each side of the dampener can take different artwork, so a single run can cover multiple teams or an event’s sponsors.

Are custom dampeners a good fit for tournaments, team gifts, and club events?

Yes. Tournaments, clubs, university teams, and brands order custom dampeners for players, members, and sponsors, including the USTA, Harvard, Hurlingham, and ASICS. One order can carry several designs, and if you are working toward an event date, tell us when you request a quote and we will confirm the schedule before production begins.

Is there a minimum quantity per color?

Our standard minimum starts at 50 pieces overall, and separate color runs may carry their own minimum per color. Include your color breakdown with your quote request and we will confirm the exact split before you commit.

Artwork & customization

Can you match our logo colors?

Yes. Send your logo, color references, or brand guidelines with your request, and we review the artwork and colors before production begins.

Can I see a mockup before placing my order?

Yes, our design team creates a 3D digital mockup for your approval before production so you know exactly what to expect!

Can you put our logo on a custom tennis dampener?

Yes. Your dampeners are molded from your own logo or artwork. Send us the highest-quality file available, and our design team will review it and prepare a 3D digital mockup for your approval before production.

Can I order multiple colors or designs?

Yes. We can often produce multiple color or design variations in one order. Separate colors may require separate production setups and minimum quantities.

Can each side of the dampener have different artwork?

In many cases, yes. Tell us what you would like on each side, and we will show the proposed result in the digital mockup.

What shapes and colors can you make?

Circles, ovals, rounded rectangles, and custom shapes that follow the silhouette of your logo, each made from a dedicated mold, in the colors of your brand. Send us a reference image, logo, or dimensions with your color references, and our team will confirm the shape and colors in your mockup.

Can I design my own tennis dampener?

Yes. Send a logo, sketch, or reference image with your quote request, and our design team turns it into a 3D digital mockup with your colors. You approve the mockup before production, and your dampeners are molded in silicone to that approved design.

Product & materials

What are your dampeners made from?

Our dampeners are precision-molded in high quality silicone selected for its soft, substantial feel and smooth matte finish. The material flexes naturally on the string bed without the hard, brittle feel of rigid plastic.

Will the dampeners stay securely on the strings?

Yes. Each dampener is specially designed with a molded center groove and carefully calibrated thickness to grip the racquet strings securely and stay firmly in place.

How durable are the dampeners?

High quality silicone allows the dampener to bend instead of behaving like brittle plastic. They are made for repeated court use, and every finished order is checked before shipment.

Will the colors change over time?

Your digital mockup confirms the intended production colors before we make the order. Like any sporting product, prolonged exposure to UV, heat, and court use can gradually affect appearance over time.

Are tennis dampeners, vibration dampeners, and tennis shock absorbers the same thing?

Those terms commonly describe the small accessory fitted between a tennis racquet’s strings. We specialize in custom silicone versions molded from your logo, colors, or shape.

Do tennis dampeners work?

A dampener softens the buzz and ping you hear and feel at impact, which is why many players keep one on the strings. It does not change your strings or your racquet, and we make no medical claims. A custom dampener adds your own logo and colors to that familiar accessory.

Production & deadlines

How long does production and delivery take?

Most orders arrive in about 4 weeks from payment, once your mockup is approved, including mold creation, silicone production, curing, and shipping. We also try to expedite rush orders in certain cases, though we cannot guarantee it. If you have an event deadline, tell us when you request a quote.

Can you meet a specific event or deadline?

Tell us your required delivery date when requesting a quote. We'll do everything we can, and will confirm whether the schedule is achievable before production begins.

What happens after I approve the design?

We will send an invoice, confirm your payment method and shipping address, and add the order to our production schedule. Production begins as soon as payment is confirmed.

Can we reorder later?

Yes. Same-artwork reorders waive the mold setup costs on all subsequent orders. Include your previous order details or approved artwork when you request a quote.

How many dampeners can you produce for one order?

There is no practical ceiling given enough lead time. We have produced single orders of tens of thousands of dampeners. Tell us your quantity and deadline with your quote request and we will confirm the schedule before you commit.
