  2. Retro Custom Office Products In the Past

    Nostalgic Tuesday. Things have moved on heaps in the past 10 to 20 years. If you are reading this in an office, then take a look around. If you are young enough you may notice a lot has changed in terms of corporate stationery and technology that used to be common place in the office but has now been replaced. So with a pair of misty eyes, let us walk down memory lane and check out some products that were popular only as far back as 10 to 20 years ago. For those who are really really young, then perhaps you may be a bit amused. Here is the list:

    Office Products You No Longer See

    1)    Floppy Disks: Before solid state pocket hard drives that can achieve memory capacities of 128 gigabytes and beyond people used to save important documents on floppy disks. Why were they called floppy? Well the first ones were indeed just that, bendable pieces of plastic about

  3. No Promotional Hand Sanitizer? Make Your Own Instead!

    Hand sanitizers are a product that has become very very popular in the past few years. When the common flu is no longer common anymore, but instead is a dangerous combination supercharged germs and viruses that cause lots of damage and even death, the need for clean hands is more important than ever. Our promotional hand sanitizers are made using an alcohol base with a minimum of 60% content (research shows that anything less than 60% does not provide reliable germ-killing power). However what if you want an alcohol free version? Well here are some tips and a recipe for making your very own hand sanitizers using common products found in supermarkets or around the home.

    Certain oils and liquids are common known agents that kill germs. They are not as effective

  6. Branding the Olympic Logo

    The Sochi Winter Olympic Games are on right now in a big way. The Olympics as a modern organisation is big business today and like most big businesses they protect their intellectual property in a lot of detail and they are extremely quick to react to any breaches. We love branding and when it comes to branding the Olympic Games Logo is arguably the most recognised symbol on earth. The process to create such a powerful popular symbol is no easy task. It requires not only having a great design to begin with, but it also requires that standards are met consistently year after year. It is this consistency over time that sets it apart. In fact I cannot even remember if the symbol has every gone through any changes big or small. This is remarkable as even brand names like McDonalds and Apple have gone through changes over the years.

    Logo Branding Policy

    I used the word policy as opposed to guidelines, the instructions for branding the Olympic logo is non negotiable. Either

  7. The Ultimate Promotional Toy for Big Boys

    Would you remember playing this when you were a child? Perhaps you looked on with Envy at other kids, or maybe you are like me and have got one for your child? Well a gentlemen in England that we can only describe as being a bit of an eccentric nutter called John Bitmean has taken his childhood toy and created a replica. Not just any old small toy replica (like some of the custom branded toys in our range) but a life sized replica of the famous Red and Yellow Tike car. However that is not the best part about it.

    You see this life sized Tike car is actually a real car! It is not just a large piece of plastic with a lawn mower motor either. It is a fully registered and approved road worthy car that travels just as fast as a real

    Lanterns Of Terracotta Army

    This year in Edinburgh at the University Old College as part of the Chinese New Year celebrations, the Lanterns of Terracotta Army is on display the first time outside of China. These amazing lanterns inspired by the 8000 Terracotta Army buried with the then Chinese Emperor from 210–209 BC, was created originally for the 2008 Olympics held in China, Beijing by Chinese artist Xia Nan. Up to 2.5M tall (taller than a man) this exhibition showcases horses, men, women and children, in brilliantly lit colours of red, green, white and blue.  Xia Nan has kept the sculptures similar to traditional lanterns by using colorful papers stretched over bamboo or metal framed hoops.

  9. New! Beer & Tabasco Jelly Beans

    In the past couple of years it has been a little disappointing to see that truly original and new flavours of confectionary candy are lacking sorely in variety and originality. Many products seem to play on the safe side, which has meant that a lot of candy flavours between brands seem one and the same. There is one exception though over the years to this and that is Jelly Beans. Personally I love Jelly Beans, they are the perfect carrier for flavours. Much like a Macarone. Even with our range of Jelly Beans that we stock, we have slowly but surely expanded the flavours we carry each and every year. It is therefore with much delight that I came across two brand new flavours that are utterly original and I can only describe as totally awesome. The two flavours in question are: Beer flavoured and Tabasco flavoured Jelly Beans.

    1. New flavours attract diverse audiences.
    2. Customised packaging creates brand awareness.
    3. Jelly

Not losing items is also a side benefit.
