Ash City introduces the Tech-Shell Vest

Ash City has come out with a new Tech-Shell vest as part of their CORE 365 line.

This could be the best new thing to up your golf game or up your golf game giveaways at your next event.

The style comes in both men’s and ladies’ cut with classic colors to compliment your brand. The ladies’ style has a front and back princess seam for a flattering fit.

Both styles offer water resistance and windsmart technology. ( I have no clue what windsmart technology is but suffice it to say it will block the wind on those breezy spring days on the golf course…or where every you may find yourself on those breezy spring days.) They also sport a chin rash guard and a reflective toggle on the zipper.

If you are not a vest person but like the concept click here for the companion jacket.

The Belmont Travel Tumbler

We (really just me as Dale is down South at the moment) are quite impressed with the Belmont 20oz Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Travel Tumbler. It is one of those items that looks good, works well, and makes for  brand visibility at a great price point. More importantly it is a gift that folks will really use. The thing I liked best about it was the lid. The lid had a tight fit and didn’t leave me feeling like one accidentally tip over and it would come flying off. I also liked the drink tab you slide open (or closed). It requires a little bit of pressure but it made me feel, again, it won’t coming flying open on you when you are not ready for it. My current travel mug sometimes leaves me wary that my car interior will be wearing my tea if I take a corner too sharply. Not that I do but well…you know how that goes….

Features include:

  • 18/8 Stainless steel construction
  • Double wall insulated
  • Keeps beverage hot for up to 12 hours or cold for up to 12 hours
  • Tapered bottom fits cup holders
  • Clear plastic push-on lid with sliding drink opening
  • FDA certified
  • Hand wash only

Pictured is a one color logo but if your brand has more that one not to worry. We are currently working on the same item (in red) with a client of ours that has 4 colors in their logo. The proof looks great and we can’t wait to see the tumblers in person. Bonus point: the price  doesn’t go up much for more than one color. Always nice to hear while doing your advertising/promotional budget.

Comfort Colors for 2018

Happy 2018 from Comfort Colors. New pigments, new styles, and a new cuffed jogger that seems to be the “it” trend for the new year.

 

 

All of these new items can be found on page 22-23 of the new catalog.  At a nice medium weight of 7oz, the new French Terry crew neck sweatshirt with kangaroo pocket, the scuba neck hoodie, and the cuffed jogger pant will take you from cool spring weather right through Indian Summer.

If your brand reflects a vintage or beachy feel try experimenting with a one pass color or tone on tone color when screen printing. Want to incorporate the new jogger pants into the mix? Add your embroidered logo right below the pocket. Or run a word or tag line up one of the legs. Lots of fun options for you to ruminate on while we wait for spring.

New Blends for a New Year

New catalogs, new styles, and new blends! All of our vendors are rolling out the new stuff and over the next couple of weeks we will be highlighting these items. Well some of them anyway. There is way too many for us to show you all of them but we are updating the E-Catalogs section regularly so you can stay up to date with the latest offerings.

This is for those of you that love the wicking option but hate the feel of polyester. This tee is a blend of 75% poly/13% cotton/12% rayon and at 4.4 oz perfect for use as performance gear for your team or everyday wear for your crew that works outside during the warm months. On the plus side for us it is easy to screen print  and the posicharge technology helps lock in the ink color of the print so the tees look better longer.

District Made introduces their Astro Cosmic collection. It blends 60% cotton with 40% poly to make this lightweight 4.3 ounce tee soft and breathable. The intermixing of colors steps it up a notch to add depth to the overall look.

Port Authority is introducing their Coastal Cotton Blend polos. The new polos have a  soft, laid-back look that is designed to perform. This style fights odors, wicks moisture, and resists snags and wrinkles. At 5 ounces with a blend of 50% cotton/42.5%poly/7.5 linen it is the perfect polo for the office or job site.

Because the items are new they have not all been uploaded to our website. But as always if you see something you like send a message and we will get you the information or samples that you need.

Gift Giving 2017 Part 4

This gift guide from Snugz USA should get those gift giving ideas flowing.

I picked this catalog to feature because it has some cool products that will translate well across different industries.

Has your company had a record year in sales and your group deserves some R&R time? Flip to page 8 for some relaxing gift set ideas that will leave your employees  ready to jump into 2018 with renewed energy. Looking for a deluxe set to thank your clients for that record year? Check out page 21. Your gift recipient is sure to be thankful.

If stocking stuffers are more your thing pages 28/29 has some practical and yet fun ways to get your brand out there.  I think the dye sublimated socks are a wonderful idea. One size fits all, they are an unusual gift , and they  can be reused again and again so your brand continues to take center stage.

Sungz has some really wonderful ideas for those of you in the Health and Wellness fields. Page 18/19 has great essential oil and bath salts sets. Page 22 has smaller essential oil combo packs in attractive package making it a truly outstanding gift idea.

Questions or need help with more ideas? Give us a shout. And while you are ruminating on ideas remember to allow about a two week turn around on most products. No need to incur rush charges if you don’t have to.
