TruFru: Launching and Influencing in Style and Good Taste

To celebrate its launch with one of the nation’s largest retail chains, TruFru used our 10” x 10” x 4” custom packaging to send a very special gift to its top brand ambassadors. It was important for the company to align its influencers on a cohesive marketing message—the deliciousness of its product, big news, and the fresh feel of its branding. In collaboration with a distributor partner and TruFru, ​​we fully customized these gift boxes and their contents for a 100% branded experience.

TruFru Boxcar Custom Packaging

How did TruFru do that exactly? It sent out 4 healthy and scrumptious Hyper-Chilled Grab & Go Packs in a custom box with our 12 oz. Thermos® Double Wall Stainless Steel Food Jar

These jars keep contents cold for hours and can be reused and enjoyed year after year. TruFru’s custom gift encouraged its ambassadors to enjoy their treat in the moment and beyond—going green and yummy all at the same time. We think that was pretty cool, and they did too.

But, duuuude, this BPA and lead-free cup doesn’t like to be stereotyped. While it may party hard, it’s also perfectly adaptable to all of your adulting needs come Monday.

Roaming Free with the YUMA Clear Freedom Bottle

YUMA 25 oz. Clear Freedom Bottle

What do outdoor gear brands like Marmot® and Teva® have in common? They’re target customers, high-value brand partners, and pretty much all of their employees are thirsty for adventure in the mountains, on the water, and up the climbing wall. 

They also get pretty parched while they’re pushing for their best-ever finish time in that charity 10K. So a durable, BPA-free YUMA 25 oz. Clear Freedom Bottle with guzzler wide mouth and a convenient flip-top is the perfect participation (and DOMINATION!) gift.

These snazzy pop-top bottles are dual-function. They help renters identify a friendly KOA employee who can answer their questions quickly (especially at the crack of dawn or way too late at night).

Baseball Park

SnugZ USA is here to help with everything from the usual in-person events we’re all very familiar with, to uncharted hybrid activations that have never been seen before.

Full-Color Badges & Vinyl Pouches

Full-Color Badges & Vinyl Pouches

Unlike Han, a lanyard should never go solo. It should always be toting a standout full-color badge or useful vinyl pouch for that one, two, punch.

You can’t go wrong with either choice:

The Lanyard King

Can’t-Miss Promo Product Markets for 2021

After the ups and (way too many) downs of 2020, professionals in the promotional products industry are feeling unsure of which products will be trending in 2021—and of where to find those sweet, sweet sales.  

Here’s the good news, kids: products that enhance self-care, double as PPE and let consumers indulge in luxe living will be even hotter in 2021 than they were in 2020.

Here’s the better news: not only are some industries still thriving, but they’re on track to do more business than ever.

Read on to learn more about the best industries to target this year and the products which pair oh-so-beautifully with them.

1. The Work-From-Home Workforce

As many offices continue to operate virtually, businesses both huge and tiny are on the lookout for products that will keep their employees productive, happy, and motivated (i.e., living their best lives.)

Entice them with items that will help their employees work from home like true bosses, such as the Flight Flap Pro premium phone and tablet holder (yep, it’s not just for flying!) 

Flight Flap Pro premium phone and tablet holder

Designed with functionality in mind, this dope dye-sublimated accessory bends and folds to accommodate almost any work-from-home set-up. Customize it with a full-color logo to keep your brand front-and-center — exactly where it belongs, right?

2. Shipping Companies

Everybody, and we mean everybody, is having more products delivered directly to their homes lately. That means e-tail companies are surging and shipping/logistics companies are running a brisker business than ever before.  

Jump on this trend by looking for your region’s biggest shipping, courier, and delivery companies. They’re likely to be in need of apparel and protective gear for their new employees that can be branded with their logo, as well as thank-you gifts that will help them retain their current awesome workforce.

When it comes to protective gear, look no further than the 1/2″ Polyester Mask Keeper. It’s ideal for delivery drivers who want to safely remove their masks while driving. Secure and convenient, its lanyard can be tailored to any brand’s color palette and customized with a logo.

1/2" Polyester Mask Keeper and Phoenix 2-Ply Dye-Sublimated Face Mask

While you’re at it, why not throw in a new classic: a branded mask. Branded masks protect staff while also acting as a round-the-clock advertisement to customers, making them a win-win proposition. 

The Phoenix 2-Ply Dye-Sublimated Face Mask is a super-soft cloth mask option that looks almost as great as it protects. Brand it with your full-color logo to ensure your new staff make a healthy fashion statement.

As for thanking current employees, what’s a better thank-you gift than something these road warriors can truly use: the 16 oz. Thermos® Stainless King™ Stainless Steel Food Jar? Fit for a king — or queen— it preserves your food for hours, whether your lunch is a bowl of hot chili or a crisp Cobb salad. Nom!

3. The Healthcare Industry

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand that the healthcare industry is busy, busy, busy right now. While they’re likely covered for PPE, items like this 8 oz. Bullet Sanitizer with Pump should be popular in less formal healthcare settings, such as senior living communities. 

To thank frontline workers, look to bath salts, candles, and other products that will promote chill Zen vibes during their much-needed time off the clock!

8 oz. Bullet Sanitizer with Pump

4. Tech Companies

With everyone staying inside, do you know which companies are reaping the benefits? That’s right: tech companies. People are more online than ever, and that’s not exactly hurting their bottom line. 

To reward their employees, who are working harder than ever, steer these companies toward the Think Tank Gift Set. Filled with handmade items, including a 16 oz. wide mouth mason jar wrapped in a handcrafted leather sleeve, a leather-covered mini composition book, a sexy leather wrap bracelet, a laser engraved cube puzzle, and more, this set doesn’t whisper “luxury” — it screams it!

5. Nonprofits

With the pandemic exacerbating many existing social problems, nonprofits need to generate more donations, period. 

To support their promotional outreach, emphasize gifts that will resonate with their typically wholesome, conscientious and health-conscious donor base, such as the brandable 24 oz. Thermos® Hydration Bottle with Rotating Intake Meter. Sleek and ergonomic, its Rotating Intake Meter allows you to track your daily water intake — ensuring that consumers see your logo multiple times a day. Did we mention it ships next day with ZIP-IT?

Budget-limited nonprofits will dig less expensive swag that hits the same notes as this Thermos®, such as this USA made 1 oz. Clear Sanitizer in Round Bottle. Simple and affordable, this merch is also sure to get used, and you can customize the scent!

Finally, nonprofits with staff who work in the field will appreciate the Value PPE Kit. They — or the people they serve — get three one-time-use sanitizer packets in every kit, plus three sets of protective disposable gloves, and one disposable face mask, all conveniently stored in a customizable, branded zip pouch with your full-color label. What’s not to love?

6. The Hospitality Industry

Believe it or not, many restaurants offering take-out are doing just fine, as are inns and hotels with social distancing options (especially those that offer “getaways” outside of urban areas.)

Consumers like these appreciate swag that offers a safety assist, such as the USA made 10 mL. CleanZ Pen Sanitizer. It’s easy to stash in even the smallest bag and will be popular with those who are traveling for business (i.e., big-time hand-shakers). All of our sanitizer ships next day with ZIP-IT too!

Meanwhile, hospitality staff will be well-served by the Rogue Folded 2-Ply Dye-Sublimated Face Mask. With comfy straps and the option to add your full-color branding to one or both sides, this 2-ply mask is perfect for customer-facing staff.

10 mL. CleanZ Pen Sanitizer

7. The Education Industry

School’s not happening in person everywhere, but it will be soon! Even more importantly, adults are also taking far more classes online. According to Inc. Magazine, that’s due to so many people having more time on their hands (well, duh). 

With education brands unusually flush with cash, you may be wondering how to appeal to their customer bases. Two words: personal care. Personal care products have the advantage of appealing to wide swaths of people while also being an affordable entry point for companies that are new to the swag game.

We suggest they kick things off with our SPF 15 Lip Balm in White Tube, which is one of our most popular products. Available in a vast array of flavors, this beeswax-based balm will compel customers to associate your company with sheer deliciousness! Add a logo and you’ve created a fully immersive brand experience for a très affordable price. 

Later this year, education brands will want to invest in comfortable PPE for their staff. Give them hours of painless safety with the Raven 3-Ply Dye-Sublimated Face Mask. Made by Gildan, these masks come with not one, not two, but 3-ply protection. Two sets of ties go around the head and neck, so teachers can do their thing without distracting ear loop aches.

8. Event Planners & Trade Show Organizers

Not every event or trade show was canceled in 2020. Instead, they moved online, a trend that’s likely to continue throughout 2021. 

To make these virtual experiences more, well, real, some special sauce is needed: customized swag that these companies can drop-ship to attendees. 

Capitalize on that need by offering these digitally savvy consumers a tool they’ll love: the Momostick™ Phone Grip. This device attaches to the back of your phone and makes it easier to take high-quality photos, plus it doubles as a phone mount while you drive. Brands can customize the Momostick™ with their logo, rendered in glorious full-color direct print. Tasty, right?

Momostick™ Phone Grip

Pair it with a piece of equipment that’s irresistible to telecommuters and frequent travelers alike: an imprintable 16 oz. Thermos® Guardian Stainless Steel Direct Drink Bottle. It works as hard as you do, keeping hot drinks hot for up to 10 hours and cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours. What else do you need to take over the world?

How Full-Color Face Masks and Accessories Will Help You Express Your Brand

Since the dawn of time people have expressed themselves through their clothing and accessories. Cave people donned their best leather and fur. Queens proudly displayed their finest crown forged from the brightest gold and rarest of gems. Hippies were pretty groovy sporting their bell bottoms in the 70’s too. While sneaker heads patiently wait to order the latest pair of Air Jordan shoes that are dropping at midnight. You get the picture.

Fast forward to the fall of 2020 where we are now 7 months into a global pandemic and the face mask is THE hottest promo item in the Covid-era. They’re the permanent accessory our faces never knew they needed. People are starting to have standards about what kind of masks they wear. So what are the rules?

Rule number one: a mask needs to look good.

Rule number two: a mask needs to be effective and comfortable.

Follow those guidelines and you’ll be okay, but just in case here are a few tips on how full-color face masks and accessories will help you express your brand. Read on!

Show Your True Colors

Can one really have too many face masks? In our opinion, no way! Just like neckties, socks, hats and countless other wearables, you’ll need one for every occasion and some. If you didn’t already know, kids need A LOT of masks. A LOT. OF. MASKS. Be prepared for them to need a new one several times a day, especially going to and from school. Adults on the other hand won’t need quite as many, but will still want a variety to choose from, whether for a more professional look around the office or fun and casual to run errands around town.

Pro tip: keep two baskets around the house, one for contaminated masks and another for clean ones so the family can easily change out coverings.

Now let’s get back to the rules, a mask needs to look good or did you already forget? Your mask is a blank canvas to showcase what your brand is all about and the personality of your people. Show your true colors by choosing your brand design and getting it printed in full color from ear to ear. Not quite sure where to start? That’s completely okay! At SnugZ our world-class design team took care of the hard part for you and created a variety of adult and youth stock patterns. Fit any style with ease.

Create a Cohesive Message

Don’t sleep on effectiveness and comfort when it comes to face masks. Since people are are wearing them for hours on end comfort is super important. While it may be okay to buy some promo items based on price, PPE absolutely shouldn’t be one of them. An inexpensive pen is one thing, but a protective device to help stop the spread of COVID is a completely different story.

Keep rule number two in mind: a mask needs to be effective and comfortable. Adults want stylish and comfortable PPE and the Titan is the gold standard. Not to mention parents will love the Titan Jr. which features 3-ply construction that keeps kids safe, comfortable, and cool while back at school.

Create a cohesive message while adding even more comfort with accessories like the Mask Keeper Pro, Mask Buddy Elite, or upgrade to one of our new PPE kits. Design a collection of items with your branding to create the perfect promo package to help keep people safe and healthy.

Markets to Target

Truth be told, as you probably already know, face masks are selling themselves. So that must mean that most face mask markets are tapped out right? Wrong. According to ASI’s 2020 Global Ad Impressions Study a staggering 61% of consumers report they don’t yet own a logoed mask. Pause, and read that last sentence again. Queue mind blown emoji. Translation: there is still a huge piece of the promotional face mask pie yet to be had. Here are the top markets to go after:

  1. Education – Everyone from administration to kids
  2. Online Grocery Pickup and Food Delivery
  3. Utilities – Electricity, gas, water, etc.
  4. Home Remodeling
  5. Technology Companies
  6. Finance – Banks, credit unions, lenders
  7. Going Back to the Office – Many businesses are bringing employees back to the office and it’s important to help them feel safe.

People & Brands Need USA Made Sanitizer They Can Count On

Watch How We Make It: Sanitizer

The New Normal

“Normal life” (whatever that may mean to you) as we know it has changed, forever, or at least the foreseeable future.

Think back to only a few months ago when you could gather with friends and family for memorable parties, tailgate and cheer on your favorite college football team, or simply stop by the market on the way home from work to grab some dinner. Don’t you miss the little and not-so-little things?

As they say, change is HARD! Do you know what else is true? People are inherently adaptive. They’re also smart and innovative, which gives us a lot of hope for the future. During his supplier session from skucon At Home on Embracing the New Normal, SnugZ USA CEO, Brandon Mackay said it best:

“The great thing about Americans and American businesses, is we have a tremendous ability to get back in the fight.”

In order to get back in the fight and stay in the fight, people and brands need USA made sanitizer they can count on to help them stay healthy and germ-free.

Eye Strain? Not in This House.

Has your screen time gone up by 300% the past couple weeks? Us too.

Working from home, Netflix binging, and resurrecting your FarmVille carrots can take a toll on your eyes. Many of us are experiencing increased headaches, trouble sleeping, red and itchy eyes, or general tiredness, on top of everything else. What to do, what to do?

Try our blue-light blocking glasses! SnugZ has two fashion-forward unisex styles, the TFINLEY and TQUINN, both of which are handcrafted with anti-blue light technology and 100% UVA/UVB protection. It’s the ultimate work-from-home warrior accessory.

SnugZ has worked diligently to source retail-quality glasses that are sure to make a promo-forward statement. These cuties have scratch resistant lenses and anti-glare coating. Both the frame and the lens are Grade AAA Polycarbonate with Maximum Optical Clarity and block approximately 32% of blue light. Plus, they’re hecka stylish too.

Why do Blue Light Blockers Matter?

Optometrists all agree that blue light puts a lot of strain on your eyes. Simply put, our eyes aren’t equipped to filter blue light as well as we filter other types of light that occur naturally (such as outdoor sunlight or UV rays).

In this age of technology, we’ve rapidly advanced our exposure to blue light on a daily basis. One source stated that “when you’re looking at computer screens and other digital devices that emit significant amounts of blue light, this unfocused visual “noise” reduces contrast and can contribute to digital eye strain.”

All in all, looking at our computers, tablets, TVs, phones, and other digital displays have a not-so-hot effect on the health of our eyes.

Do your peepers a favor and get some blue light blocking technology. It’s the perfect gift for employees and bosses alike. Bonus points if it enhances your hipster vibe.

How to Save Your Last Shred of Sanity During Social Isolation

Things are weird in the world. ‘Nuff said.

If you’re like us, you might be getting a little stir-crazy. Being stuck inside and away from your regular daily routine is generally no bueno. Many of us are now working from home, trying to homeschool our kids, and not able to access our favorite activities.


“The coronavirus (COVID-19) is already proving to be an unprecedented disruption in our industry and economy. We are doing everything in our power to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”

– Brandon Mackay, SnugZ USA CEO


It’s safe to say we’re all a little out of our comfort zone and worried about the effects of COVID-19. Shelter-in-place orders are popping up all over the world, forcing us to adapt. Since you’ve probably already run through your Netflix queue, here are a few ideas to keep you occupied and sane during social isolation.

Learn that new thing you’ve put off

Now that we have so much more time at home, we have the great opportunity to try out all those “someday” activities you’ve been meaning to try. Connect with your artist by painting a Bob-Ross-esque masterpiece. Read that book that has been on your nightstand for six months. Cook an elaborate meal (chicken nuggets can be included).

Video Chat!

Man, aren’t we lucky that this quarantine is happening in an age where we can still connect with our loved ones from afar? Give your mom a call, see your friend’s faces, or watch movies together with your long-distance significant other. Just because we are directed to socially distance ourselves does not mean we can’t still reach out. FaceTime, Marco Polo, Zoom, Skype, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger all support video chat.

Make screen time convenient & stylish

Many of us are spending more time than usual staring at our phones, whether it be video conferencing, binging your favorite shows, or scrolling through Instagram. Why not make it more convenient?

Try our new Momo Stick. This simple device attaches to the back of your phone, adding barely any bulk, while allowing you to push up the attached band to create a perfect grip for your finger. It also acts as a stand to prop up your phone for optimal Netflix viewing (don’t lie–we know you’re watching Parks & Rec for the eighth time).

It’s the ultimate work-from-home accessory. Customize with your branding in full color direct print today! And while you’re at it, check out our full line of work-from-home centered products.

Kids: It Takes a Village

We all know that our littlest friends thrive on routine, so having all this uncertainty can make the stuck-at-home experience…..not so fun. But life doesn’t stop! Kiddos still have homework, still want high-energy playtime, and still miss their normal activities. Never fear! Humanity has banded together to give us some hope.

  • There is a movement of teachers who are continuing their teaching online! While there are literally hundreds of resources for home-schooling, here’s just one article that you might find helpful.
  • Movie-makers announced several early movie releases to various streaming and rental services, including Sonic the Hedgehog and Pixar’s Onward. You’re on your own for popcorn though.
  • On that same note, Disney+ released Frozen II early. Just sayin’.
  • Local libraries are streaming their story times. Here’s a library near SnugZ that does daily “Cabin-Fever” story time at 10 am MST.
  • Several zoos, including the Cincinnati Zoo, are going live with their furriest friends.
  • Audible is streaming children’s (and a few adult) audiobooks for free!

Adults: It Takes a Village

Screw it, it’s not only the kids that need to stay occupied! Here’s a handy-dandy list of newly-published resources that can keep you entertained, busy, and learning during social isolation.

  • Many Broadway plays are being published online. You can get 7 days of non-stop streaming for free right here.
  • You can wander virtually around art museums from all over the world. No travel required.
  • Download Duolingo and start learning one of 31 languages totally for free.

Above all, stay healthy

The United States Government has strongly recommended social isolation, as well as self-quarantine measures. We encourage all to take these warnings seriously and obey local and national guidelines.

Now more than ever, it is important to keep washing your hands (minimum of 20 seconds with antibacterial soap!), practicing social distancing, and disinfecting common surfaces. Stay safe, stay home, and stay healthy!

For more information about preventing the spread of COVID-19, visit the CDC’s website.

COVID-19 has impacted us all, both professionally and personally. Many of our own SnugZ family are sheltering in place at their homes. Luckily, we have some phenomenal products perfect for creating the ideal home office. Download the flyer below to begin sharing these ideas today.

Sick Days Who? 5 Habits to Keep You Healthy (Hint: Promo Sanitizer)

Manufactured in the USA in an FDA-registered facility

Cold and flu season can have you feeling run down. But life doesn’t stop! You still have work, school, and a million other responsibilities that can’t be avoided. We get it. Being under the weather sucks. What do you do when you strongly suspect Sharon from one-desk-over doesn’t just have allergies?

Living by these 5 easy tips will help you stay healthy and avoid those sick days, even if Sharon refuses to keep her germs to herself.

Wash Hands Thoroughly

It’s the end-all-be-all of avoiding cold and flu season. It may seem like a basic habit, but are you washing correctly? No more of this “rinse and run” behavior allowed! The FDA advises you should “wash hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds.” Take extra time to scrub in between your fingers, up your arms, and underneath your fingernails. You never know where those bad nasties might be hiding.

Use Hand Sanitizer

Ideally, we’d all wash our hands all the time, but this isn’t always possible, especially when the restaurant bathroom line is long and every single soap dispenser is somehow out. In those scenarios where soap and water aren’t available, the CDC suggests using “an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol to reduce the number of germs on your hands.”

Not to toot our own horn, but all our sanitizer is 63.5% alcohol. We’ve worked hard to create the perfect formula for eliminating 99.9% of germs. And because we make our sanitizers in our FDA-registered Utah facility, we have plenty in stock and we’re making more each and every day. From cap to bottle to ingredients: it’s all made here in the USA. 99.9% effective, 100% stocked.

Get back to basics and try our 1 oz. unscented sanitizers. They’re perfectly sized for keeping in your car, purse, desk drawer, or anywhere really. It’s a win-win-win-win.

Stay Hydrated

The FDA also recommends avoiding alcohol and caffeinated products when you’re sick. Now is the time to be avoiding those early morning coffees and late night beers (bummer, we know). Each of these products robs your system of fluids that may help you fight viruses and infections.

Drinking liquids like waters, juices, and herbal teas help replenish the fluids you lose when running a fever or fighting a cold. Try keeping a glass on your desk during the day and next to your bed at night.

Get Enough Sleep

It may seem an obvious solution, but getting adequate rest is essential for avoiding illness. While the necessity of sleep is still largely unknown, scientists do know that sleep is your body’s time to fight bugs, repair injuries, and regenerate energy. A factory update for your body, if you will.

It’s doubly important that you take the time for extra sleep when it’s “under-the-weather” season. Try heading to bed an hour early, avoiding screens for 1-2 hours before bed, and wearing your comfiest pajamas (not because it helps, but because who doesn’t love fuzzy pajamas?)

Keep Common Items Clean

Of course you wash your hands and of course you use sanitizer. But have you thought about sanitizing those things you touch all the time? Studies show that frequently-handled items like light switches, computer keyboards, and cell phones are the guilty culprits of germ transfer. Consider washing and disinfecting those items often to avoid illness. Don’t just wash yourself. Wash your stuff too.
