Promotional Gear in the Colour of the Year
Pantone has declared that the colour of the year for 2020 is Classic Blue. This hue is a timeless and enduring blue that’s elegant in its simplicity. Pantone selects the colour of the year based on what they see in retail stores and world trends, and these colour trends further inspire colourways for new products within the promotional products industry.
Blue makes a great accent colour to many other popular colours, making it perfect for corporate branding. Let’s take a deeper look at a few of the customizable products that are available in Classic Blue to give to your employees and customers!
Drinkware
Did you know that North Americans throw away an astonishing average of more than 25 billion paper cups every single year? That’s a lot of waste! Help make the world a little more environmentally friendly by giving people a reusable water bottle, mug, or tumbler that they can take with them on the go.
Staying hydrated is key to productivity and living a full, healthy life! By creating your own branded drinkware piece, you’ll help recipients be environmentally friendly and stay hydrated with customized, trendy drinkware.
Insulated drinkware pieces that can be used for both hot and cold liquids are our top recommendation for branded drinkware; they do double duty in aiding people stay hydrated no matter their hot or cold drink preference. Interestingly, the results of a Canadian Conference Board study revealed that for every dollar companies invested in workplace health and wellness, they could expect a return of $3 in cost savings when measured in worker productivity and reduced absenteeism due to illness.
