Last week we visited the biggest annual corporate gifts show in UK - the Trade Only National Show (TONS). The event was held in Coventry on 21st and 22nd January 2015 and was organised by Trade Only - an organisation providing business support to companies within the promotional gifts industry.
The event was a great place to catch up with all the news about the latest products and printing processes. As we said hello to our suppliers and met with new promising business partners, we took notes of some exciting new products that will start appearing on our website in weeks and months to come - and which you can get hold of right now by contacting your promotional advisor on 01204 577 995.
Below are some of the exciting news we look forward to sharing in more detail soon:
- laser engraved jackets and shirts
- 3D printed bespoke awards
- full colour printing onto leather, acrylic and glass - for bags, wallets, cases, awards
- full colour printing onto more items than ever before - and with improved quality
- sports water bottles that filter and cleanse water as you use them
- paper over board binders with special wood, croc or "worn-out" effects
- folders made from recycled money
- more and more designs of the most popular products like power banks, pens, keyrings and travel mugs
- card holders that stick to the back of the phone
- round umbrella with a single panel available for full colour printing all over
- new packaging ideas for any product - made from paper, plastic, and foam
