• Your operations benefit from egg-crate style packing for quick table staging.

Numeric decision rules

• If your order is close to 100 units, Crazy Putty is the cleaner match to the posted pricing break.
• If your artwork is a bold logo that fits 1" W × 0.5" H, this variant supports the “simple mark” approach well.

• You want a more compact egg form factor (1 3/16" × 2 1/2") for packout efficiency.

Numeric decision rules

Branding & imprint considerations

The main constraint: small imprint zones require “badge-style” art

Both products revolve around compact imprint areas (roughly 1" wide × 1/2" tall on the listings).

What prints cleanly

• Bold icon + short brand name
• Thick strokes, minimal text
• Strong contrast (dark ink on light egg, or vice versa)

What tends to fail

• Tiny taglines, fine outlines
• Dense copy blocks
• Low-contrast ink-to-egg color pairing

Operational factors (staffing, staging, storage, audience fit)

Staging and speed

• If you need fast setup, pre-filled putty eggs reduce prep compared with filling empties; for the bigger operational choice

Audience and supervision

• Putty-style items are best when you can assume basic supervision and age-appropriate use. For very young audiences, many organizers prefer empty eggs with controlled inserts (tokens/notes) rather than novelty fillers.

Color planning

• Crazy Putty notes a color-matching exception for red eggs; Eggs with Putty notes color approximation and additional colors with longer lead time.
• Practical takeaway: if color is critical, treat putty as “approximate match” and prioritize high-contrast imprinting.
