1. Best Promotional Print Products for Events

    Events are one of the highest-value marketing environments available — you have a captive audience, face-to-face engagement and the opportunity to put your brand directly into people's hands. The promotional print products you choose determine how well your brand is remembered after the event ends. In this guide, we share the most effective promotional print products for events of every kind — from trade shows and exhibitions to conferences, festivals and community events.

    Printed Lanyards

    Printed lanyards are one of the highest-visibility branded items at any event — worn around the neck all day, visible in every conversation and in every photograph taken at the event. For conferences, trade shows and corporate events, branded lanyards for all delegates and staff create a unified, professional appearance and keep your brand in constant view throughout the day.

    Our lanyards are printed using dye-sublimation on 20mm white polyester — double-sided, with a safety breakaway clip and trigger hook as standard. See our printed lanyards.

    Cotton Tote Bags

    A branded cotton tote bag is the promotional giveaway that keeps on giving — used repeatedly after the event, carrying your brand into supermarkets, offices, gyms and public spaces for months or years after it was first handed out. Unlike most promotional items that end up in a drawer, a quality cotton tote bag has genuine utility that ensures it gets used.

    Our cotton tote bags are available in small and large sizes, printed single or double-sided using full colour inkjet. 100% cotton, durable and reusable. See our cotton tote bags.

    Business Cards

    Every member of your team attending an event needs an adequate supply of business cards — and running out at a trade show is one of the most avoidable missed opportunities in business. Plan for at least 50 cards per team member per day and bring more than you think you'll need.

    For events where first impressions matter, consider a premium finish — velvet lamination, spot UV or foil — that makes your card genuinely memorable. See our full business card range.

    Folded Leaflets and Brochures

    Give visitors to your stand or event table something substantive to take away — a well-produced folded leaflet or brochure that tells your story, explains your services and gives them a reason to get in touch after the event. A quality leaflet that reflects the standard of your business will be kept and referred to; a flimsy, poorly produced one will be binned on the way out.

    See our folded leaflet printing and booklet and brochure printing.

    Notepads

    Branded notepads are a practical, appreciated giveaway at conferences and corporate events — delegates use them throughout the day and take them back to the office where they sit on desks for weeks or months. Every time the notepad is used, your brand is visible.

    FSC-certified uncoated paper, greyboard backing, tear-away pages. See our notepad printing.

    Custom Printed Mugs

    For premium events and client gifting, a branded ceramic mug is a genuinely useful gift that sits on a desk and gets used daily — providing sustained brand visibility at a modest cost per unit. Dye-sublimation printed on 330ml white ceramic, dishwasher and microwave safe. See our custom printed mugs.

    Custom Coasters

    For hospitality events, product launches and any event with a drinks element, branded coasters on every table keep your brand in view throughout. A cost-effective, practical branded item that works particularly well for bar and restaurant events. See our custom printed coasters.

    Mouse Mats

    A branded mouse mat is a desk-based promotional item with excellent longevity — used daily for months or years, keeping your brand and contact details consistently visible at the workspace. A practical choice for technology, professional services and B2B events. See our custom mouse mats.

    Selfie Frames

    For events where social media engagement is a priority, a branded A1 selfie frame creates a photo opportunity that generates user-generated content every time it's used. Every photo shared on social media with your branded frame in it extends your brand reach to the personal networks of every attendee who posts. See our selfie frames.

    Event Programmes and Schedules

    For conferences, festivals and multi-session events, a printed programme or schedule gives delegates essential information and a lasting reminder of the event. A well-produced stapled booklet or folded leaflet programme is kept throughout the event and often retained afterwards. See our stapled booklet printing and folded leaflets.
