A practical checklist for preparing logo files before requesting a promotional product quote.

• Vector files are best for most imprint methods. Ask your designer for AI, EPS, SVG, or print-ready PDF when available.
• High-resolution PNG or JPG can work for review, but may require redraw before production.
• Include brand color notes if Pantone matching matters.

Compare screen print, full color, and laser engraving options for branded promotional products.

• Best for simple logos, one-color marks, and many drinkware orders.
• Often cost-effective for repeat giveaways and event merchandise.
• Works well when the imprint area is clearly defined.

How to choose practical branded giveaways for trade shows, conferences, and booth traffic.

• Small desk items and drinkware are easy for visitors to understand quickly.
• Avoid bulky items when attendees will carry samples all day.
• Use lower-cost products for broad booth traffic and higher-value gifts for scheduled meetings.
