Today is the last day of the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia. It is happening right now just outside of our office showroom in Martin Place. Now our range of uniforms and work wear are no way considered haute couture by any stretch of the imagination, it is however still interesting to know what colours and styles are trending this season. Afterall our most basic clothes are determined to an extent by what happens way way up the fashion chain. But we could still get a styling tip or two from Fashion Week 2013 that can be applied to your future custom uniforms. We'll cover this on this post, so read on!
The chill is definitely descending on us all. Especially for those of us that live in Sydney, Melbourne, Tassie and other southern regions. Unfortunately with the cold weather it also means the onset of the flu season. Germs, viruses and influenza are nasty. There are so many strands of germs now that even vaccinations only cover a fraction of immunity to certain germs. The best and easiest way to prevent the dreaded flu is by prevention in the first place. The easiest would be our promotional hand sanitizers. These little bottles of magic have germ killing properties of up to 99.99%. Virtually all germs are stopped in their tracks. These are intended to be used on hands only (not on faces). Most germs are spread through hands, especially when we handle everything with our hands including food and especially when we are touching or scratching our face. Germs tends to go through our eyes, mouth and ears.

Teddy Bear Facts 101
Name Origin
The name "teddy bear" comes from a story involving American President Theodore Roosevelt.
On a hunting trip, his handlers captured a bear and tied it to a tree, inviting the president to shoot it.
Roosevelt declined based on sporting reasons but instructed the bear to be put down to save it from further pain.
A toy maker later created a stuffed bear inspired by this story and named it "Teddy's Bear."
There was a time when headwear for ladies and gentlemen were the norm. Headwear etiquette that defined hats as a must wear accessory outdoors and when indoors they were to be taken off. Well we have moved a long way since then. With each passing decade a more relaxed dress standard has applied to the point when a polo shirt is acceptable at most work places. This brings us to the hat of the moment which are caps. It no longer is etiquette to remove a cap when indoors now as no one will bat an eyelid. However with caps there are a few style tips which apply no matter if you are wearing them to a football match or even when your dressing a bit more formally. Here are some style tips on how to wear caps or promotional caps.
Tip Number 1: Not all caps are the same. The shape of the cap makes a difference and can make you look either stylish or a complete douchebag. Most caps differ in the peak. Most caps have a
Hope everyone had a happy and safe long weekend. Over the Easter break I came across an ingenius (some might say evil) marketing ploy with the use of car air fresheners which I thought I share with you. The location was at an Easter Show. It was done by one of our leading super market chains and involved the use of a red car.
Not just any red car though but a proper life sized replica of a cartoon animation which they feature in a t.v run advertisement. This replica looked amazing, in fact so amazing that it even featured an internal motor which made the car actually driveable. Kids absolutely loved the car. It attracted more attention than half of the joy rides at the Easter Show itself from the kids who simply wanted nothing more than to jump and climb into and outside of the car.

Takeaway coffee cups that you and I use everyday are an environmental peril. In our opinion they are as a whole a much much nastier by product of everyday living even compared with other disposables that end up as litter like takeaway boxes, food packaging, cigarette butts and even exhaust from automobiles. Why? Well there are several reasons. Coffee as a product in itself is generally considered an essential for many people everyday. So some of us may consume the odd takeaway box at lunch time today (some may be considerate enough to recycle them) whilst many smokers overtime do desire to kick the habit but what makes coffee cups different when they are disposed is the sheer quantity. This product is consumed at a relentless pace everyday by most people. In fact expenditure on coffee along will reach $800 million it is forecasted by the end of this year.
After months and months of negotiations we are now proud to offer a huge new range of custom printed folders. Now we know we have always have had folders and binders in our range, however with those items they were custom made to order hence needed a larger than usual minimum order. The custom made range of binders and folders also needed a lot of customer input into designing the product too which made it a little bit more cumbersome for people to order.
However with our new supplier we now have a range of stocked binders at a super low price that can be printed with your logos and graphics. Over the coming weeks we will be adding new styles and options on our website in our custom branded folder section. We now hold product that would be familiar to many of you as these are the same brands that are sold in retail shops everyday right around the country including:

We have this one particular product in our catalogue of frisbees. It is conveniently named "The Donut Frisbee," as you can already tell from the picture it resembles a gigantic donut.
This particular frisbee has been in stock with us for a touch over 2 years now and is still a hot selling product do primarily to the shape and also the fact that it is also really economical in price. However did you know that there is more about this frisbee than meets the eye?
You see the shape of it was inspired by the original and patented Aerobie. The Aerobie was the first original donut frisbee and it was designed not just merely to be a toy but to be the best frisbee ever made. Alan Adler invented the Aerobie and immediately there are two things unique about it:
