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.

Wooden Truck Food Gift

Want a food oriented promotional gift that will promote your brand long after the food is consumed?  This wooden truck with sliding lid is the gift for you.  It is filled with 9 oz. of delicious pistachio nuts but after the nuts are gone, the truck can serve as a handy storage unit for jewelry, coins, desk supplies or other treasures. These trucks would be fun have out on tables in your trade show booth to serve snacks and then give them away as prizes to VIP customers.

Don't think that this truck is only appropriate if you are in the transportation industry; it also ties in well to emphasize old fashioned service or to commemorate a corporate anniversary.  How about promoting a "truckload" sale?  Or, communicating a safe driving message to your employees?

The truck is 12-1/4" L x 4-12/3" W x 5" H.  You can add your company logo to a laser engraved plate on one side and you can have an optional plate added to the second side for more marketing messages. The personalized promotional item is packed in an individual mailing box; perfect for easy distribution. If pistachio nuts are not your thing, then the truck can be ordered empty and you can either add your own contents or send as is.

This item is on special for the remainder of 2013 at only $37.80 with pistachios and $30.15 empty. As part of the special promotion, you can order as few as six pieces at the sale price, rather the the usual 12 piece minimum order. This sale price saves you as much as $8.00 from the usual price and allows you to give a personalized gift to a small group. 

If you are looking to drive sales and deliver a message of thanks to your employees and customers, this is the perfect promotional gift for you. Call me at 847-398-5500 or email at dona.blunt@newportpros.com to learn more and get your order in for the Holidays.
