Zip Buddy – the great new way to promote your brand!

Zip Buddy is a unique promotional product that the user can retro fit to practically any zip as long as it is at least 2mm in size.  It offers a great branding opportunity on a wide variety of everyday items such as bags, suitcases, laptop cases, coats, fleeces, pencil cases etc.  Zip Buddy gives you the opportunity to promote your brand, company, event, team or organisation in a truly innovative way.

The Zip Buddy attaches straight on to the end of the zip and can even replace the puller on broken zips.  It can also clip directly on to that annoying little stub left behind when the metal puller breaks off so you don’t need to go to the expense or bother of replacing the zip.  It looks fantastic on rucksacks, sports bags, jackets, schoolbags, briefcases, handbags, camera bags, tents and virtually anything with a zip.

The minimum order for a standard Zip Buddy is just 100 pieces and the lead-time is 7 to 15 days.  There is a great range of stock colours available off the shelf as well as a choice of round, square or rosette shapes (red only for this shape).  The branding area is up to 16 x 16mm both sides, with your logo or photograph simply embedded in the badge.  

For a minimum of 1,000 pieces, select your own colour badge base and the scarf/ribbon part of the Zip Buddy to be woven in your own design/colours (and you can even include text).  The lead-time for a bespoke Zip Buddy is 5 to 6 weeks. 

This product can be supplied in bulk loose, in small individual poly bags or for a small additional cost mounted in pairs on header cards for retail sale.  The stock backing cards are available in black, red, yellow, green, blue and light blue.

Zip Buddy is unique, affordable, durable and most importantly a truly practical and useful accessory.  The usefulness of a promotional item is by far the main reason it is likely to be kept.  Why not consider it for your next marketing campaign or event. Whatever you’ve got with a zip on it, show it off with your own personalised Zip Buddy!

There is a high focus on the reusable shopping bags. “Bags for life” are hugely popular in both the retail and promotional markets. Therefore step forward the newest eco shopping bag to hit the market, the “EcoHandle Reusable Bag”. This durable, compact product has some of the best features we have ever seen in the eco bag range, and we couldn’t wait to start talking about it.

Firstly, the categorization as an Eco shopping bag comes from the fact that this bag is reusable over a significant period of time and the plastic is recyclable. There is a nylon bag stored within the EcoHandle itself. When removed, the handles of this bag are hooked over the slots on the plastic unit, forming this great Eco Shopping bag. In this “single bag” format, the EcoHandle is lightweight, can fit easily into a pocket, handbag or glove compartment, is easy to store and is water repellent. The benefit of the plastic handle on this Eco Shopping bag is that it is kind to your hands, when carrying heavier items.

The fantastic additional benefit of this eco shopping bag is that is can carry up to three additional shop issue carrier bags using the open slot design at each end. This allows the easy and effective transporting of multiple bags at the same time, without the “cutting” into the hand that this can traditionally cause.

The EcoHandle itself comes in 5 standard colours (red, orange, green, pink and grey) and the canvas eco shopping bag that is then housed inside the handle comes in 6 colour choices (red, orange, green, pink, black and white). Bespoke bag colours are subject to a higher minimum quantity, but are still possible. The bag can be printed up to full colour to both sides of the bag and the minimum quantities on the stock range of this eco shopping bag is 1000 pieces.  Lead times currently stand at five to six weeks, and this is mainly on the back of high demand.

As an alternative to the cotton eco shopping bags, this is certainly a premium product and does work out more expensive, but the key benefits highlighted above make the EcoHandle stand out when looking at choices of reusable eco shopping bags.

Markets of interest for this product are obviously general shopping, but could also be great for events, sport, gym and it would also be ideal for use as a travel or beach accessory. It really is an eco shopping bag with many possibilities.

Should the EcoHandle eco shopping bag be something you would like more information on (pricing, samples or a visual), please contact a member of the sales team who will be happy to answer any questions and deal with your enquiry.

Occasionally when sourcing promotional items, something jumps out at you as just a really good idea. Like the Hy-Lid promotional drinks can lid, which fits onto 90% of the worlds drinks cans, is hygienic to use and keeps drinks fresh and fizzy so that they don’t have to be consumed in one hit. Other benefits are that it is a non-spill device, is dishwasher safe and is made from food grade polypropylene.

The Hy-Lid drinks can lid fits onto the top of your drinks can easily. It has a sealed drinks spout that must be twisted to open the unit and is on a never-ending thread, so this component cannot be removed with over twisting. Once sealed, the drink will remain fresh for up to seven days and the fizz will remain in the drink far longer than would normally be the case. The drinks can lid can be easily removed once the drink has been consumed, allowing for cleaning and re-using.

The hygiene factor of using drinks cans has never really been avoided, but now with the Hy-lid promotional drinks can lid, it is possible that the cleanliness of your drink “experience” will be under your full control.

The Hy-lid promotional drinks can lid comes in several colourways ensuring good choice for the consumer. The standard choices are blue and red, blue and white, white and red, white and blue. For certain larger quantities it would no doubt be possible to create a bespoke colourway, but this would need to be discussed at the time. Minimum quantities are low and the price point is great as a low cost promotional giveaway.

The branding potential of the Hy-lid promotional drinks can lid is impressive with a print area of around 40 x 20mm, which can be increased if printed directly at the factory on larger quantities. With an item that could be in continual use around the office or at home and would be seen alongside some famous brand name drinks, you can be sure that your product or service will be remembered for a considerable amount of time.

These days the marketing consumer is looking for something different, unique and with mass appeal. The Hy-lid Promotional drinks can lid certainly meets those needs head on with vibrant colours and a great print area to add to the mix.
