School holidays are in full swing across the country, and many Aussies are starting to take their first extended trips since the pandemic began. With thousands of Australians planning to take breaks both here and abroad in the coming months, today on the Cubic Promote blog, we thought we'd go through some of the essentials you'll need to ensure a hassle-free break!

Promotional Travel Bags

While we all know the importance of a quality suitcase or backpack for our travels, fewer people consider how beneficial having additional travel bags can be when you're away from home. Of course, we're talking about bags explicitly designed to spare your main travel gear from damage, items like promotional wet bags (to hold things like damp swimmers) and custom branded shoe bags (to keep dirty shoes). Oh and don't forget promotional toiletry bags too!

These bags can save you from a lot of heartache and ruined outfits while you're on the road. If you're considering providing recipients with travel-themed gift packs, include some handy little bags featuring your logo branding. Your recipients will be appreciative, and your message will get noticed in the process!

Custom Luggage Tags

There's nothing worse than having your luggage go missing or getting misplaced during transit, which is why all your bags need sturdy personalised luggage tags so staff can quickly and easily return them to you. Bag tags are a popular choice for budget-friendly promotional gifts from travel agents, airlines, and B&Bs because they really are essential to a fuss-free trip whether you're heading overseas or across the state. While we all hope we'll avoid luggage mishaps, there's no doubt that these tags help minimise stress for all parties involved when they happen.

Handy Travel Toothbrushes

If you've ever left a toothbrush in a hostel while backpacking, you'll get what I mean when I say you must pack at least one spare toothbrush when you travel. There is nothing grosser than finding yourself without a toothbrush because poor dental hygiene isn't good for anyone (long term, you can get cavities, short term, some really rank breath). That's why promotional oral care items like toothbrushes are popular promo items for motels, airlines, rail networks, and youth hostels. Travel expos and events also like to give away promotional toothbrushes because they really are a traveller's best friend. Nobody wants to be left high and dry without a toothbrush!
