Custom Ashtrays: Branded Merch That Lives on the Table
Imagine having your brand visible to customers all the time - that's what custom ashtrays can do for you. They're not like other promotional products that get thrown away or tucked into a drawer after a while. A good ashtray stays out in the open, on the coffee table, patio, or lounge bar, for years to come. And the best part? It's a really cost-effective way to get your logo, brand colors, or artwork seen by people. For businesses like smoke shops, dispensaries, cannabis lounges, cigar bars, and hotels, this is a great way to make a lasting impression. Your custom ashtray will keep on working for you, day after day, without you having to lift a finger. Plus, it's a pretty low-cost way to get your brand out there, especially when you think about how long it will last. So why not give custom ashtrays a try? They're a simple, yet effective way to promote your business and get your name out there.
We offer a wide range of 15 different styles, including ceramic, metal, glass, and portable options. Our prices vary, starting from as low as $2.25 for a tin, all the way up to $24 for a ceramic cigar piece. If you're looking to make a purchase, keep in mind that some of our styles have a minimum order requirement of 10 units.
Ceramic Ashtrays — The Logo Workhorse
When it comes to creating logos, ceramic is the top choice. The smooth, glazed surface can show off detailed artwork, including fine lines and gradients, in full color. Plus, the weight of a ceramic ashtray feels high-quality, unlike tin or plastic. Our best-selling Square Ceramic Ashtray is a great option, starting at $4.50 for bulk orders. It's a great way to get started. For indoor spaces, the Ceramic Ashtray with Lid is a good choice, starting at $11.00. It keeps ash and odor contained between uses. If you want something more premium, the Premium Ceramic ashtray starts at $18.00 and has thicker walls and a heavier glaze. And for cigar smokers, the Ceramic Cigar Ashtray is built with deep bowls that don't need to be emptied mid-smoke, starting at $24.00. These options offer a range of choices for different needs and budgets. Whether you're looking for a simple, affordable option or a more premium product, there's a ceramic ashtray that can fit your needs. The quality and feel of ceramic make it a great choice for logo work, and the different styles and prices make it accessible to everyone.
Metal & Outdoor Ashtrays — Built for Abuse
When you need an ashtray that can withstand the elements or a lot of use, metal is the way to go. If you leave a ceramic ashtray outside or in a busy area, it won't last long. But aluminum and stainless steel can handle it. The Stainless Steel Ashtray, which starts at $7.25, is a great option because it doesn't rust and is easy to clean, even after a lot of use. The Premium Aluminum Ashtray, which starts at $18.00, is another good choice - it comes in different colors and can have your logo engraved on it, giving it a modern, industrial look. If you're looking for something cheaper, the Round Tin Ashtray, which starts at $2.25, is a good option - it's the cheapest ashtray in the catalog that can be customized with your brand, making it perfect for large orders.
Looking for a way to keep your outdoor space tidy and convenient for smokers? A metal outdoor ashtray is the perfect solution. It's durable and can withstand the elements, whether it's scorching heat or heavy rain. Plus, it's easy to clean and maintain - just throw it in the dishwasher and it's good as new. The laser-engraved mark will remain intact, no matter what. If you're looking for an ashtray for a lounge deck or patio, consider one with wider rests and a deeper bowl to accommodate cigars. We can help you find the perfect style to match your space, just let us know what you're looking for.
Glass Ashtrays
Glass is a popular choice for people who want a clean and elegant look on their tables. One of the benefits of glass is that it can withstand high temperatures and is easy to clean, making it a practical option. The transparent nature of glass also lends itself well to underprinting, which allows your logo to be subtly displayed beneath the surface, giving it a sophisticated and upscale feel. For example, the Square Glass Ashtray, priced from $8.25, is a great fit for modern retail settings. On the other hand, the Crystal Ashtray, priced from $15.00, is a more luxurious option that's better suited as a VIP gift rather than a giveaway item. However, it's worth noting that glass may not be the best choice for outdoor or high-traffic areas, as it can be prone to breakage - in such cases, metal might be a more durable and suitable option.
Portable & Keychain Ashtrays
People can take portable ashtrays with them wherever they go, which is a great way for your brand to get out there. Lots of dispensaries give them to customers who like to smoke outside, at concerts, or while hiking. There are a few different kinds, like the PocketPass Mini, which is really cheap - it starts at $8.00 - and it closes tight so nothing spills out. Then there's the Square Ashtray Keychain, which is a bit more, starting at $9.75, and it puts your logo right on someone's keys, so they see it every day. And if you want something really tough, there's the all-metal Keychain version, which starts at $12.00 - it can handle being thrown around like keys usually are. The best part about these ashtrays is that they keep the smell in, which is exactly what cannabis customers love about them - it's not just a bonus, it's the main reason they're so popular.
Cool Ashtrays That Start Conversations
Some people don't care about what an ashtray is made of, they just want something that's really cool and will get attention. For us, that's a whole different category. Take the LuminAsh Glow in the Dark Ashtray, for example - it's only $15 and it charges up under any light, so it glows all night long, which is a totally different story when you're at a bar or lounge after dark. Then there's the Polygon Top, which is just $11 and has a geometric shape that's not your typical round or square, so guests always ask about it. And if you're going for a more natural, earthy vibe, the Portable Wooden Ashtray with a cover is a great option, also just $11. For shops that specialize in weed, a glow ashtray with some cool strain art printed on it is the kind of thing that sells itself - it's like the perfect counter merchandise.

Customization and Process
When it comes to decorating your products, the method we use depends on the material. For ceramic and glass, we use full-color printing with heat-resistant inks, and for more intricate designs, we use kiln-fired decals. This way, the design stays vibrant and intact, even when exposed to high temperatures. On the other hand, for aluminum and stainless steel, we use laser engraving, which gives a sleek and modern look. If the surface is curved, we opt for pad printing, which allows us to achieve a high level of detail and precision. And for a truly unique look, we can also create custom glazes or anodized finishes that match your brand's colors, especially when ordering in large quantities. Additionally, if you're planning to sell your ashtrays in retail stores or as part of a gift program, we can provide branded boxes and pouches for most of our products, giving them a professional and polished look.
So here's how it works: we follow the same process for everything we produce. First, you choose the product you want. Next, you send us your artwork - it can be in AI, EPS, PDF, or 300 DPI PNG format. After that, we'll send you a free digital mockup for you to approve. Once you're happy with it, we'll start production. We've got quality control checks in place throughout the process, right up until we pack everything out.
Wholesale & Bulk Pricing
When you buy in bulk, the price per unit gets lower at each level. If you order a small amount, like 25 to 99 units, you can customize most of them however you want. Most people who buy wholesale end up ordering between 100 and 499 units, which is a pretty standard amount. But if you order 500 units or more, you get the best price, and you can even get custom colors and special design options. It's also a good idea to order custom ashtrays, lighters, and trays all at the same time, so you only have to deal with one proof and one delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the minimum order for custom ashtrays?
It varies: tin starts around 100 units, most ceramic in the 10–50 range. Ask about the specific style.
Will my logo survive heat?
Yes. Ceramic decals are kiln-fired, metal engraving is permanent by definition, and printed surfaces use heat-resistant inks. Normal use won't fade or peel anything.
Which ashtray works outdoors?
Metal, full stop. Stainless and aluminum handle weather, patio furniture treatment, and commercial cleaning. Ceramic and glass belong indoors.
Are they dishwasher safe?
Most items made of ceramic and glass are okay, but when it comes to metal, it's usually best to just wash it by hand to keep the finish looking its best.
Do you make cigar-specific ashtrays?
The Ceramic Cigar Ashtray is a great choice - it has wide rests that can handle large ring gauges, and a deep bowl to catch all the ash. This makes it perfect for cigar lounges and tobacconists, where people often gather to enjoy a good smoke.
Can portable ashtrays be used for cannabis?
This is usually what happens. The dispensary likes the sealed design because it keeps the smell inside, which is why they often order them as a way to reward their customers.
Can I see a sample first?
We can provide you with unbranded samples before you place a bulk order, and if you'd like, we can also offer logo'd pre-production samples, though these will come at an extra cost.
