Wheat Straw Promotional Products - An Awesome Sustainable Option!

Have you heard of wheat straw? It's a new trend in promotional products.

Wheat straw is the stalk left over after wheat grains are harvested. Traditionally, it has been treated as a waste product. However, these stalks still have value. The material can be reclaimed and used to make products.

Promotional products manufacturers have gravitated towards this new renewable and sustainable material to produce new durable products made with less plastic. The blended finish offers a unique new look, as well.

Here are some of my favorites.

Wheat Straw Lunch Box

This divided lunch box carrier is perfect for meal prep, portion control and keeping your foods separated. The lunch boxes are microwave safe, dishwasher safe (although hand washing is recommended), and safe for hot foods. Available in four colors, your one color logo can be screen printed on the front cover.

The new year is almost upon us and that means new promotional product introductions. These six tech products will help promote your brand in the most creative way.

The Reach Clip-on Media Holder

This Universal Media Clip Holder has flexible long arms and can be clipped onto any desk, bed headboard, chair, or wall cabinet.

Fully adjustable at any angle to suit your needs with 360° rotation and tilt. Holds devices up to 4.5" in width and features your logo on the clip.

The Ballpoint Pen

Research shows that the most commonly-owned promotion product is writing instruments.  Only logoed garments outsell writing instruments (pens, pencils and highlighters), according to the Promotional Products Association International.   These useful items give up to 350 impressions per month--a great return for such a low cost item!

Pens are available in all price ranges and materials including plastic, recycled water bottles, paper or metal. They can be basic or include USB drives, highlighters, stylus points or magnifiers.  Novelty pens include those shaped like vegetables, fruits or hypodermic needles; some even emit a laughing sound when squeezed.  With all these options, there are writing instruments suitable for virtually every theme and budget.

Did you know that 2012 is the 25th anniversary of the BIC Clic Stic pen?  While its big brother the BIC Stic pen celebrated its 50th anniversary last year, the Clic Stic is a best seller in its own right.  There are 400 barrel and trim color combinations that allow almost every corporate color combination to be represented.  In 2010, over 100 million units of this style were sold in the U.S.   Best of all, unlike many pens styles, BIC pens are made and assembled in Florida.  This means the the product is always in stock in every color.   BIC is offering their Clic Stic pen on special promotion through December 2012.  Please contact me for more details.
