3D Printing Competition Giveaways

At competition, our team has always given away a typical item like a frisbee, stress ball, or some other i team along with buttons but we are looking to do something different this year. We recently got a Makerbot Replicator 3D printer and I designed some team stretchy bracelets that we could possibly give away at competition.

The part weighs only 9 grams and cost less than 20 cents (of material) to make but we don't want to mass produce them as that would cause a lot of wear on our printer. We are looking for somewhere between 100-200 for our two regionals. Our mentor suggested looking online for a 3D printing company but they ones I saw ranged from 4-75 dollars which is completely insane. I was wondering if anyone had experience in this area and had a recommendation of a company or if this is even possible for a cheap price.

Thanks you guys!
