Custom condoms are standard condoms in a foil wrapper printed with your design instead of a brand’s. People order them as gifts, businesses order them for promotions, and the rules, costs, and turnaround are not what most first-time buyers expect. This guide covers what you can print, whether they’re safe and legal, the real minimums and prices, and how to order, with the UK numbers that actually apply.
The short version
- It’s a real, working condom in a custom-printed foil wrapper. The condom is standard; only the wrapper changes.
- UK minimum is low: from 6 for a personal order, from 50 for a branded business pilot.
- Turnaround is one working day for orders under 1,000, from artwork approval.
- Over 100 pieces you get a real photo of the printed wrapper before the full run, not a digital mockup.
- They’re CE-marked and meet UK requirements for sale.
What are custom and branded condoms?
A custom condom is a normal condom sold in a foil wrapper that carries your artwork, a name, a photo, a logo, or a joke. The condom inside meets the same safety standard as any other; the difference is entirely on the outside.
“Branded” usually means a business putting its logo and colours on the wrapper for promotion. “Personalised” usually means an individual putting a name, photo, or in-joke on it for a gift. Same product, different reason for buying. KBB prints both: a quick Design Your Own route for personal gifts, and a bulk route for companies and campaigns.
Custom, personalised, or branded: what’s the difference?
These words describe the same product: a standard condom in a foil wrapper printed with your design. In practice, “personalised condoms” usually means a name, photo, or message for a gift; “branded” or “promotional condoms” means a company logo for marketing; “custom” covers both. Whatever you call it, the condom inside is identical and fully CE-marked and ISO 4074 certified. If you want to design one yourself, use our Design Your Own tool.

What can you print on the wrapper?
Most things. Text, logos, full-colour photos, and brand artwork all print across the wrapper. KBB uses a 6x6cm foil, a centimetre larger per side than the 5x5cm most suppliers use, so a design has more room to read clearly.
There are two print modes:
White is standard, pink and light blue are stocked, and any colour is possible through full-foil print. The ink is a flexible specialist ink on flexible foil, so it doesn’t crack or rub off when the condom is unrolled.
Are custom condoms safe and legal in the UK?
Yes. Printing the wrapper doesn’t touch the condom, and the condoms are CE-marked and meet UK requirements for sale. There’s no age restriction on buying condoms in the UK, and no licence needed to give branded ones away at an event. For the detail on standards and the law, see are custom condoms safe and are branded condoms safe and legal in the UK.
One honest note: KBB does not hold vegan certification, so it doesn’t make a vegan claim. If that matters for your order, ask and we’ll tell you exactly where things stand rather than leave it vague.
What size are the condoms?
Standard fit. Nominal width 52mm, give or take 2mm, and length over 180mm, which suits the large majority of users. The wrapper size (6x6cm) is separate from the condom size and is the part you’re designing.
Minimum order, pricing and turnaround
This is where custom condoms surprise people, usually in a good way.
- Minimum order: from 6 pieces for a personal gift. For a branded business order, 50 pieces is the practical entry point for a marketing pilot.
- Personal cap: the Design Your Own route runs up to 500 pieces. Above that, an order moves to the bulk quote route.
- Turnaround: one working day to print for orders under 1,000, from the moment you approve the artwork. Larger runs are confirmed at quote.
- Pricing: it scales with quantity and artwork, so bulk is quoted per order. KBB is the UK’s cheapest on custom printed foil condoms and will beat any like-for-like quote.

You see a real photo before a big run
Over 100 pieces, KBB sends a real photograph of your actual printed wrapper before running the rest, rather than a digital mockup. Under 100 it goes straight to print. Either way you sign off on the real thing, which matters most for logo colours and photo reproduction. More on this in how condoms are printed.
Who orders custom condoms, and which option fits
Two broad groups, and the right product depends on which you’re in.
Common occasions have their own pages: wedding favours, hen dos, stag dos, and freshers week. If you’re still deciding between formats, funny vs custom vs bulk lays out the differences.
