It should go without saying that the product needs of high quality as well as being a product of good taste or that is practical, the better the product, the more it will be used which means the more brand awareness the product will create for your company. Giving good quality gifts will promote your brand but it is also important to ensure these products are on-brand with who you are as a company. Whether it be a quirky product that gains your customer's attention or a reusable eco-friendly product that aligns with the sustainability values of your company, choosing the right product is a big one.

A reusable metal double-wall drink bottle
Drink bottles are a practical product that can be used in most environments which raises your brand awareness immensely. These drink bottles can be branded in a range of ways, including; screen printed, pad printed, digitally printed, and laser etched. They come in over 10 different colours and are perfect for keeping water cool due to the double wall of the bottle. These bottles have a long life, meaning theyʼre going to be used over and over again. This is great for the environment as it replaces the use for plastic bottles and it means your brand exposure increases, a win-win we reckon!

Customised notebooks.
The art of writing by hand as opposed to typing on a keyboard or screen are on the comeback. Recent studies have shown that writing things down by hand helps us to think clearer and remember better than they do when written down digitally. We have an extensive range of notebook brands and styles, including our favourite, the Moleskin. The Moleskin is a timeless notebook that is a staple item for anyone who enjoys writing by hand. Our notebooks can be customised using the following methods: screen printed, pad printed, digitally printed, embossed or laser etched. Take note that we offer environmentally friendly notebooks that have been created using recycled paper.

Branded pencils.
Now that you have that branded notebook, why not match it with branded pencils. Branded pencils are another awesome environmentally friendly option that is waiting for your logo to be pad printed or foil embossed. If cared for properly, a pencil will outlive most standard pens when used the same amount of time, who would have thought?

Customised headwear.
Headwear is the perfect gift within the apparel product range as most headwear products are one size fits all. Caps and bucket hats can be embroidered using a wide range of techniques including embroidery, Supacolour, screen printed transfers and patches, embossed leather patches dye-sublimated patches and embroidered patches that are then head transferred onto caps. Beanies can be customised using embroidery, embroidered patches, embossed leather patches, screen-printed patches and dye-sublimated patches that are then stitched on. 

The customisation of headwear doesnʼt stop there, we offer a retagging and relabelling service to add those finishing touches to your headwear product. We manage the production of the woven tags or pips as well as removing the current tags and sewing in the new ones to create a fully customised product.

We create our custom embroidered patches all in-house and our expert design team is on-hand to assist with any of your design needs to create the perfect artwork for you.

These can be completely customised, including the cotton drill we embroider onto and you can use up to 12 thread colours. 

Tees and hoodies
