Side Bar
Side Bar wanted branded giveaways that suited a venue crowd — so we produced silicone phone wallets, bottle openers and pens in one coordinated order. Three small items, all designed to leave with the customer and keep working long after last drinks.

A quick look at how this Side Bar order came together.
Merch that suits the venue
A bar giveaway has to survive a night out. Side Bar wanted items that fit the setting and the customer: a silicone wallet that sticks to the back of a phone and holds a card, an opener that ends up on a keyring, and a pen that gets used behind the bar and at home. Nothing bulky, nothing precious — things that travel in a pocket.
“Confirming these have been received and they all look great. Thanks again for your help!”
One brand, three very different surfaces
Silicone, metal and a pen barrel each take print differently — a soft flexible pad, a hard reflective face and a narrow curve. The work was keeping the Side Bar mark consistent across all three so the items read as one set rather than three separate orders, and sizing the artwork for each surface rather than scaling one file down three times.
All three lines, all looking great
Mary Haycell Aguirre and Hannah Calvo ran the three products to a single schedule so everything arrived together — which is what makes a coordinated giveaway actually work at a venue. Conor confirmed the lot on receipt. Small, pocketable merchandise like this earns its keep by volume and longevity: handed out freely, kept for months, and seen every time a phone comes out.
