The best new promotional items are out! The cat is out of the bag with this one and Newport Promotions has what you need for your next big event, or marketing promotion. Whether it be from office supplies for a hard days work or all the way to the evening "wine" down, there's something perfect to help you promote your brand to customers, prospect, and employees.

Do you need to keep your belongings safe while you're on the go? Our RFID Key Fob Pouch will block key fob signals and help maintain the integrity of your vehicle security system. The copper lined pouch is designed to prevent anyone from using skimming tools that copy or mimic your key fob's unique signal and wireless code used to gain access to your vehicle or keyless entry system. Once a device is properly enclosed in the pouch, no signal can penetrate or be hacked. Your one color logo can be printed on the front of the pouch.

Adjustable Desktop Cellphone Stand

These days, everyone has gone virtual- virtual meetings, conferences, and social gatherings. Sometimes we're using every device possible to get our work done and that includes our cellphones. This adjustable desktop cellphone stand is just what you need to get the angle you need for all those extra meetings. It will allow you to perfectly position the angle and height of your phone on your home or office desk. There is a fairly large area for you to imprint your logo on the base.

Personalized Mailing Boxes

We can all do a little good by sending out gifts as a thank you or even to brand or launch your own product. There’s just something about having your own brand out there and showing it off to the world. Mailer Style boxes are the box of choice for eCommerce order fulfillment and subscription box brands. This style is quick to assemble and easy to pack. We can also design custom inserts for the boxes that allow you to display and hold items in place as they are shipped and get show-cased when the package is opened.

Spring Forward, Fall Back! (The Perfect Promo Products for that Extra Hour of Sleep)

It’s almost time to Fall back again and in a few short months we all get one extra hour of sleep! (Or so they say!) Sleep is one of the most important factors in physical health, productivity, and mental and emotional health. Without it, we become unstable creatures.

No matter what you need to get the best sleep ever, I’m sure we all have that certain thing we can’t go without. Whether it be a pillow, eye mask, weighted blanked or stuffed animal, there’s no shame in using it. 


In fact, falling back and sleep can be used as a great promotion to draw more awareness to health, sleep deprivation issues, and mental health. As an example, PromoCares, a non-profit that supports social and environmental responsibility in the promotional products industry, has launching a fundraising campaign to support mental health organizations. Donors at certain levels will receive sleep-themed merchandise to thank them for their support. Inspired?

Newport Promotions has promotional items that are perfect to help you promote employee wellness, tie into a sleep and health promotional campaign, support a fundraising campaign, or just use as a sought-after giveaway items. I want to share with you a few new items you can brand with your logo this month as we prep to Fall back.

These eye masks are a fan favorite! The eye mask will help block out light for undisturbed rest. Adjustable velcro straps make for easy wearing comfort. The outside of the mask is made of spandex, whereas the inside is made of soft fleece to ensure this mask feels nice and comfortable against your face. Available in three different color combos, masks can also be personalized with a one color screen print.


Poplin Pillowcase

We also have pillowcases available for customization! Do you have a favorite design for your room theme, or want to show off your favorite sports team? These are a great platform for a message or branding for the target audience at corporate events. They are great promotional items for teens and college kids. They’re cool and comfortable, made of 100% Polyester. These pillowcases are also compliant with regulations for use by children. Price includes full color sublimation.

Aero-Snooze Travel Kit

While you're getting ready to Fall back, you'll probably also be getting ready to travel. You must love those long flights or road trips, right? I know I'm not the only one to grab some shut eye on the way. These TSA-compliant 3-piece eye masks, ear plugs and carrying case are just what you need to get through the red tape at the airport! One or multicolor screen print options available to showcase your brand or marketing message.

Sleeping Tips Pocket Sliders

Looking for some really good educational content to round out your sleeping & health campaign or promotion? Look no further than this pocket slider with information on various sleep disorders. It is a great attention grabber and conversation starter for your target audience. A good night's sleep is a dream away as well as understanding how proper sleep impacts your health. There are helpful tips on improving your sleeping habits, sleep apnea, insomnia, sleep deprivation and narcolepsy. Your logo can be imprinted on the front of the pocket sleeve. 

If sleep, health, and wellbeing are key components of your brand messaging for marketing campaign, I know there’s something here to help you stand out and provide value to your customers or employees. Promote, style, network, and converse with these items and you’ll be sure to make a lasting sleep impression.

Sustainable Water Bottles - The Perfect Promotional Product


Drinking water is great for your health! It keeps you hydrated, flushes out toxins and regulates your body temperature, but did you also know that unless you're using sustainable water bottles, that bottle can take a toll on the environment around you?

If you’re like me, you might find that you have more than a few half empty bottles just lying around the house or in the car just taking up space. Did you know that 90% of the cost of bottled water is for the bottle alone and that 80% of those bottles never get recycled? On average, Americans consume 167 bottles of water per year, that's over 38 million water bottles in a landfill each year!

It takes 7 years for those bottles to dissolve in the landfill, can you imagine having that many half empty water bottles on a piece of land for 7 years?! What’s also insane is to think about how much money we’re spending on things we throw away every day.
