A common question a few of our clients have from time to time when pondering what cool groovy merchandise to get for their organisation inevitably asks the question: "how should I distribute the products?" The easy answer of course would be at events such as:

1) Tradeshows and conferences
2) Client and customer encounters
3) Staff and family
4) As fund raising products on the day via booths
5) Expo's
6) Mail out campaigns

It is the distribution method mentioned last that typically is the most tricky one for most businesses. Why? Well mail out campaigns involve a lot more effort and with the way the postal system works hree in Australia (and around the world) a small increase in package thickness increases the cost of freight significantly. In fact the difference of only half a centimeter in thickness can possibly increase your cost multiple times.
Save Money With Flat Packed Promotional Items

The easiest way to get around the high cost of mail out campaigns with promotional items is to use products that can be sent very flat. In other words flat packed and folded down products. Here are some of the top ideas we have for fold down flat mailed items.
