Summer is about half over but there is still time to purchase custom printed towels or imprinted towels for your event. Any time a client says beach, pool or cruise we say custom or imprinted towels. Towels are a perfect logo or theme “billboards”. They are also intimate and when connected to a memorable outdoor event, they [...]

I don’t consider myself a Luddite, but I missed this, “I’m Not a Paper Cup“, thing. Apparently every one jumped on the bandwagon about a ceramic cup that looked just like a paper coffee cup that you would get at your favorite coffee shop.

Dishwasher safe water bottles sound simple enough. Like so many products, we could write a paper about the shapes, styles, materials, environmental concerns, caps uses… It’s Friday, so I want to keep it simple, we are strictly focused on dishwasher safe water bottles. For the past 2 years all the industry news has been centered [...]

Banner bags, recycled totes, recycled billboard totes… everyone calls them by a different name but I am getting ahead of myself.
