Promotional Products For The Environment

Think eco-friendly products are daggy? Think again! It's becoming increasingly hip and stylish to use recycled, upcycled, and environmentally sound logo branded products. Here are the eco-conscious items making the biggest splash with our clients so far in 2019.

Logo Printed Calico Shopping Bags

Promotional cotton calico bags are no longer just for farmer's markets or second-hand stalls. Companies are looking beyond the outdated plastic bag to the naturally sourced custom calico bag instead. These bags are durable, eco-chic, and come printed with your logo on the side. You can gently hand wash calico bags to keep them looking fresh too, which means no need to throw them out if they become grotty. Get your brand all over the local shopping mall or trade show with these grocery bags made from natural materials.

Recycled Promotional Notebooks

Recycled Logo Notebooks are ideal for promoting your brand on a budget when it is important to provide a quality recycled product. Not only is the cardboard cover of these notebooks made from recycled paper, but the colour stripe is also made from recyclable nonwoven materials, the pen is made of recycled paper, and all the lined pages inside? They are made from recycled paper too. Boasting a recycle symbol, all these notebooks need is your logo branding, and they're ready to go -- luckily we can help with that.

Personalised Metal Straw as Gifts

Bulk Customised Metal Straws make excellent gifts, and they're so stylish your recipients will carry them wherever they go! With fast-food restaurants like McDonald's phasing out plastic straws, there has been a lot of interest in alternatives; and branded metal straws are one of the best. These lovely items can come in unique gift packaging to help boost their appeal, and they'll be used on a daily basis by those keen to stop using disposable plastic straws and be mindful of the environment instead. 2019 will be a big year for these tiny little miracles!

How to Select

Choosing the perfect eco-friendly promotional item can be a tricky process, but it’s worth taking the time to ensure you get the best value for your money. Here are some factors you should consider:

• Materials - The materials used in eco-friendly promotional items should be sustainable, natural, or organic. Be sure to verify the material's credentials to ensure they are genuinely eco-friendly.
• Purpose - Think about the intended use of the product. Will it be used frequently or sit in a drawer? Consider the item's function to ensure it’s practical and useful for the customer.
• Design - Stay on brand when designing your eco-friendly promotional item. Choose products and colours that align with your brand identity and can easily be recognized by your target audience.
• Customisable - Ensure that the product can be personalised with your brand logo or message. Look for options that can be printed or engraved for maximum brand visibility.
