Letter From Pop Promo

17 May

This flyer showed up in the inbox from Pop Promo today. I would say that Pop Promo’s claim to fame with our office has always been tons of color, and the ability to PMS match everything in their line to exactly the client colors.

However this is a flyer on the continuing expansion of their eco line, so, well, lots of green.

From Pop Promo, “We’ve been hearing from a lot of clients that they’re searching for eco and sustainable branded merch, but having trouble finding products that will still perfectly match their client’s brand. I know it can be hard to have the best of both worlds, but we’ve heard this need and have been working hard to put something together that’ll help you close business! This downloadable flyer features some of my favorite Pop! eco products including our new Recycled Canvas Fanny Pack and Tote, reusable Pop! Packs, RPET Pennants, and our popular Dress Socks made from organic cotton!”

And as always, if you really want to do something sustainable, do not buy promotional products. All products are consumption at one level or another. So if you must buy, 1) Buy local (i.e. made in USA), 2) Buy useful, long lasting items, 3) Buy sustainable/recycled/recyclable products if possible.

Out of The Woods® Seagull Cooler

8 Feb

The Out of The Woods® Seagull Cooler is part of the full Out of The Woods® line now available from Gemline for use in the promotional products industry.

For your marketing needs, the Out of The Woods® Seagull Cooler boasts six actual imprint areas; Front Panel Center 7″ W x 7″ H, Front Panel Lower Center 7″ W x 3.5″ H, Front Panel Upper Center 7″ W x 3.5″ H, Front Pocket Center 2.5″ W x 4″ H, Front Pocket Lower Center 2.5″ W x 2″ H, Front Pocket Upper Center 2.5″ W x 2″ H, with imprint done as CMYK heat transfer.

Other than the addition of your brand, the Out of The Woods® Seagull Cooler is the same item as offered on the Out of The Woods® website.

From the manufacturer, “All Out of the Woods bags feature Supernatural Paper™ which is sustainable, washable and vegan. These reusable bags are designed to support all your daily adventures. A stylistic update to the classic brown paper bag lunch featuring contrasting Supernatural Paper® panels and etched metal hardware for a Western flare. Featuring a spacious interior and insulated lining to keep snacks fresh whether you’re headed on a hike or to the office. PEVA heat-sealed lining. Top grab handle. Supernatural Paper™ is FSC®-certified (FSC® C153080), made of tree cellulose, a renewable resource, from responsibly managed forests. To care for your bag, hand wash inside and out with a mild detergent and warm water.”

The very stylish Out of The Woods® Hedgehog Lunch Bag comes in Ebony or Sahara, and is branded with the official Out of The Woods® brand patch, so your clients will know what they are getting.

We like these bags for mobile office and commuting workers. The reusable, washable bag is a big upgrade from the brown paper sack, and demonstrates a company or program’s commitment to sustainability.

K’arst Woodless Graphite Pencils

18 Jan

So if you remove the wood from a pencil, is it still a pencil. It seems the folks at K’arst believe so, and have introduced the K’arst Woodless Graphite Pencils to the promotional products industry for 2022.

From the manufacturer, “The K’arst Woodless Graphite Pencils come as a set of five solid graphite pencils. Made of 100% pure graphite with 2B hardness, it’s the best lead grade for the K’arst paper products. Matte coating to keep your fingers clean. Includes retail gift box.”

Not sure how I feel about this one. With a wide selection of pencils now having FSC credentials, are wooden pencils really something that is a concern. As mentioned in the last post, I am much more concerned with pens, and the plastics they are made of.

However, the K’arst Woodless Graphite Pencils do have two things going for them. They look very, very cool, and they are from a well know brand name.

I think as a client gift for architects, fashion, or design related companies, the K’arst Woodless Graphite Pencils is a great item to showoff with. Even the packaging looks cool.

Imprint for the K’arst Woodless Graphite Pencils is on the packaging only. But, again, that packaging really lends itself to making the pencils a higher perceived value gift. My daughter is very into art and drawing, and honestly, my first thought when I saw these was to get her a sample.

Bellroy Transit 20L Workpack

15 Dec

The Bellroy Transit 20L Workpack is another example of an item that you would have no idea was made of recycled materials, unless you directly inquired.

This bag is well designed, sturdy, stylish, and perfect office or travel companion. It is also made from recycled polyester.

From the manufacturer, “The Bellroy Transit 20L Workpack is streamlined to cleverly organize work, life and gym gear in a minimalist design. This backpack features a separate laptop section with internal pouch for accessories and can hold devices up to 16″. Find what you need easily with the full-zip clamshell opening for easy accessibility and quick-access front pocket with mesh slip pockets and pen loop. Keep your sunglasses safely in the soft-lined pouch on top. The external side pockets invisibly stores a wallet, water bottle and other essentials. A large internal stretch pocket is perfect for holding your gym shoes or sweatshirt, while the internal zip mesh pocket is ideal for storing small items. The contoured, breathable back panel and padded shoulder straps allow for comfortable carrying.”

The 20L in the name of the Bellroy Transit 20L Workpack stands for 20 litters, which is how volume in bags is measured. See Bo Ismono’s excellent explanation of bag size here.

Decoration of your logo or artwork on the bag can be done as embroidery (recommended) or professional digital print transfer.

The Bellroy Transit 20L Workpack is a great idea for a sales force that is on the go, even if that just means an occasional trip between virtual and main office.

Need more convincing, take a look at the Bellroy Transit 20L Workpack video (which weirdly has no sound).
