Eco Friendly Promotional Merchandise

 When Eco friendly promotional products are just the ticket!

The use of eco merchandise is becoming more popular, and it is now very easy to replace your usual purchase with a more eco friendly one. Every business or individual wants to help the environment. 

Eco Pens

Branded eco pens come in a wide range of materials and styles. Made from bamboo is very popular and this can be either engraved or printed. Bamboo is a fast growing grass and very sustainable and strong too. Some pens are now made from wheat fibre, which again is more sustainble that plastic. Cork is also used and this is a very stylish and renewable material. 

Reusable Mugs and Water Bottles

As we are all increasingly aware, one use coffee cups and water bottles are bad for the environment. Yes maybe you can recycle some of the plastic, but that takes time, money and energy. The best approach to counter this is to use reusable coffee cups and  promotional drink bottles.  They can be used again and again and will last for year. Think how much landfill waste is being saved. Promotional drink bottles and cups and mugs are very popular with many types of organisations, from schools and universities to sports clubs and corporate office. With the issues surrounding Covid 19, it makes sense to have your own drinkware. To make it even more sustainable, cups are now made from bamboo, rice husk  and recycled materials.

Eco Friendly Bags 

There are so many eco bags now available that it hard to know where to start. Sustainable materials such as calico, jute and cotton are very popular  in promotional bags. The eco bags come in all types of shape and design, from tote bags for your shopping, cooler bags for picnics or BBQs and even pencil cases and toiletry bags.  Eco friendly  resusable shopping bags  have the double effect of being reusable and made from sustainable materials. They can also be printed with your branding.

So in summary, when you are looking for merchandise for your company, take a look at what eco friendly products are available. Not only will they look good  and help the environment but will reflect positively on your brand. 

Here Comes the Summer - Boost Your Brand with Promotional Merchandise

 Here Comes the Summer!

Summer in Australia can be very hot, so thousands of Aussies flock to the beach every week. There is a wide variety of branded products which are fun and practical. What a better place to give your brand some exposure

Branded Sunscreen

Sunscreen is a must for everyone when outside in the sun. Promotional sunscreen is a very popular giveaway item and comes in a range of styles and sizes and can be printed in full colour with your logo. Most is custom printed Australian made  sunscreen with a minimum SPF 50 protection. It can include a carabiner to clip onto your belt or bag to ensure you do not forget it. Avoid the guesswork of when you need to reapply your sunscreen with sunburn alert stickers

Promotional Sunglasses

Branded sunglasses can be cheap and cheerful promotional products but they are all UV400  and block both UVA and UVB protection so are not lightweight!  They are very good for giveaways at outdoor festivals and events and with such a huge range of styles and colours there will always be a model for your brand. I would recommend the Malibu range which come in premium, kids, mirror and translucent styles. 

Personalised Towels

Beach towels, fitness towels, cooling towels and even tea towels - custom branded towels are very popular and effective to showcase your brand. At the beach, in the pool or at the gym, your brand logo will be seen again and again. There are so many funky decoration options from a full colour sublimated towel  to embroidery on a workout towel. 

So go out there, have fun and hit the beach with promotional merchandise

Promotional Lanyards

 

Promotional lanyards have so many uses in different situations it is hard to write them off! They can be used for the office, at events and tradeshows. 

Lanyards come in various material and widths and can be branded in many ways, depending upon your style and logo. Full colour sublimation gives you the option of a colourful and customised lanyard with a smooth ribbon. You can also go for the woven look where your logo is spun into the fabric for the professional and long lasting effect. If you want a more eco option you can choose the Recycled and Biodegradable PET lanyard!

There are a variety of accessories that you can add to your lanyard depending on your preference such as round clips, j-hooks, breakaway clips (for safety), swivel clips, badge holders and detachable phone holders. Looking for a winner? Some lanyards even come with a medal in gold, silver or bronze which can be branded for you. 

Yes you can pop down to the local office supplies store and buy some plain lanyards but why not stock up on custom printed lanyards to reflect your brand to make the right impression and probably more affordable too!

Promotional Water Bottles

 

Promotional water and drink bottles are very popular giveaways for a wide variety of businesses and companies. They can be printed in full colour to give your brand that zing, or can be engraved on the bottle or the lid for understated style. Custom water bottles are excellent as part of a member pack for a gym or as a reward for your staff for a healthy lifestyle. 

Promotional metal drink bottles come in different sizes from 500 ml to 750 ml. Some are double walled vacuum insulated, and these can keep your drinks hot or cold for up to 24 hours. One of our most popular drink bottles has a mirror finish, The Lily Mirror by Hydrosoul. Glass water bottles again come in a range of sizes and are very popular with a full colour neoprene sleeve. Plastiic drink bottles are perfect for events such as trade shows and festivals. Caps can be customised too, with screw tops, sipper straws etc. 

Water bottles make a great addition to your range of giveaways. Practical, portable, promote healthy living and very popular at a budget friendly price suiting all ages.

Love to write - try a personalised printed notebook

We may be in the digital age but branded notebooks are increasingly popular. They are easy to slip into your bag and makes notes of ideas or thoughts when you are out and about.

Sometimes you can be sitting on the bus or train and have a lightbulb moment and with a printed notebook you can quickly jot down your ideas. Notebooks come in a variety of sizes, materials and styles. A debossed linen notebook  is very subtle and stylish

while a cork or bamboo notebook is great for an eco range.

Pages can be customised in full colour so you can have a diary, yearbook - whatever you want!

Reusable Coffee Cups & Drink Containers

Paper based takeaway coffee cups have long been popular but it was not well know that they were not able to be recycled. This is because they have a lining made of polyethylene, which is a plastic. They are also not able to be composted as they are not biodegradable.

This has caused a bit of a dilemma as they are very widely used, cheap to buy and easily branded.

At Brandconnect we have a wide range of coffee cups and mugs which are more sustainable and can be reused many times and recycled.  Some are made from plastic, some glass and others from stainless steel. They can be personalised with your brand of logo

The best thing is that many cafes now give you a discount when you use a reusable coffee cup or mug up to 50 cents in many cases. This is quite a saving for yourself financially and for the earth.
