Travel Restrictions and Printed Luggage Straps

Written by

Travel restrictions due to COVID-19 pandemic are affecting travelers all around the world. Many countries implemented travel bans and compulsory quarantine measures for travellers due to the huge COVID cases and the spread of its new variant. Even so it want be long though before printed luggage straps come back in vogue. Especially with all the vaccines coming online. People yearn to travel and as soon as they can they will.

Printed Luggage Straps And Travel Restriction

Today, all airlines have packing and baggage restrictions. Aside from following the standard maximum weight, ensuring your personal belongings are safe and intact with printed luggage straps is very crucial.

This is due to the fact that not all suitcases are built efficienctly and not all of us can afford to buy expensive ones. Using accessories such as a luggage strap just make sense for the wiser traveler.

What are luggage straps?

You don’t want to receive a suitcase in an unpleasant state when you retrieve it to the pick-up point, do you? Or find your stuff strewn along the luggage because the zipper broke. That’s why luggage straps are vital.

Printed luggage straps are made from thick and durable material that you bind around your suitcase. It works as a safety measure in case you overpacked or a zipper worn down. Furthermore, securing your belongings is an important precaution to take especially this COVID pandemic in order to reduce the opportunity for cross-contamination.

Other benefits of  luggage straps:

  • They are usually bright and colorful. Thus, your suitcase will be easier to spot and no more instances of potentially losing your bag. Additionally, you will not be spending a hard time identifying your bags from other suitcases that almost look the same in the baggage carousel.
  • Some straps can secure two or more luggage set. You can strap your suitcases together with some regular luggage straps so you don’t have to struggle to move around.
  • Mishandled luggage is very common in a lot of terminals and airports. Printed luggage straps provide added security and protection to your checked baggage. You can bind them individually with TSA-approved locks so your suitcases can avoid possible damage and are protected the scrutiny of unauthorised persons.

If you are thinking of starting up your marketing campaigns again then keep custom luggage straps in mind.

Thrifty Marketing Campaigns

I think the name of the game in promotional marketing this year will be getting more bang for your buck. Obviously it was a tough year last year and this year is not looking to be much better. Sure the economy is not doing too bad but most people understand that it has a lot to do with government stimulus swirling around. Once the tap is turned off nobody knows what is going to happen. Even still companies still need to engage their customers and promotional products have always been a good way to do that. That is why I am saying that promotional pens will be top of the list.

Branded Promotional Products For 2021

I think it is safe to say that most people are happy to have a new year ahead of us. So many things happened last year that it is best to just forget and move on. Obviously there are still restriction in business which a preventing a total return to normality but that should stop us from trying. Its is time dust ourselves off and get our businesses back into gear. One of the greatest ways to reconnect with our customers is with branded promotional products. Here we explore some of the products which can help us get there.

Wh looking at the kind of products you might want to include in your promotional marketing campaigns it can be sometimes overwhelming. Some marketing departments can go overboard and just purchase anything that comes to mind. When exploring your options it is best to keep it simple. It is true that every business is different and might require different products to promote their brand but keeping it simple should always be a factor. There are some things that your should always consider when trying to enhance your brand.

You can’t go wrong with apparel

A truer sentence was never spoken. You really can’t go wrong with apparel especially not corporate apparel. There are lots of items that full under this category and there are a variety of uses. There are times when companies give away t-shirts as a point of sale item of as gifts. Other times they might include them in their merchandise for sale on their website or onsite. One great use for these products is as corporate apparel. Corporate apparel encompasses the uniform site of apparel. That said it shouldn’t just be viewed as a uniform. Providing staff with their own custom branded apparel is about more than just convenience.

Keeping staff looking smart is something every business want. Trying to determine what you are going to wear each and everyday is hard enough. When is clothes you wear to work it is even hard and expensive. I know our staff love having some custom branded items in their wardrobes. Things like shirts or vests just make things easier. It is also easier for visitors to the office to identify our employees. So alway keep corporate apparel in mind when looking for branded promotional products.

Practical Promotional Items go a long way

If you are going to keep it simple then keep it practical as well. There are things that people will always have a use for. Things like branded lanyards. With lanyards you know they will remain in use for years to come. They also tick the budget box which mean your buck will go further. It is little know that Brand Republic has a dedicated lanyard website called Ezy Lanyards. Like our other products specific website it is designed to make it easier for customer when all they require is a simple item. There is lots of information about lanyards and heaps of options. This makes it easier and saved customers lots to time.

I will discuss this subject more in follow up posts as there is a lot that can be said about “keeping it real” when considering branded promotional products.

As businesses, we are faced with the same dilemma with it comes to custom corporate apparel . Thinking about where to start and what you need to consider because when choosing corporate apparel there are so many aspects.   Here is a short cheat sheet with all the things to look for to ensure you have the best corporate apparel for your business.

 

The Apparel Range

 

It is important to decide what you need in your range. With so many available items it’s a good idea if you think about what will be suitable for your team.  Business shirts, polo shirts, vests, jackets or pull overs to name a few are all available in a range of colours and materials. Think about where your staff work, the conditions and weather, this will help you decide on what you need.

 

Apparel styles and sizing

 

Before deciding which corporate apparel range to go with ensure you do the research.  Making sure the range you choose has styles for both men and women is important.  Sizing is also a factor.  Some sizes start at small and finish at 2XL.  Others have a larger range from XXS to 5XL.  Ensure you review sizing guides and charts to confirm the range covers your needs.

 

What are Corporate Apparel brands?

 

Corporate Apparel brands do change and styles are updated. If you would like to keep your corporate apparel range for a few years speak to your supplier.  Ask them to ensure the brand and styles are not going to be discontinued and are a staple item.  This is important to ensure you can refill orders and keep your team looking smart.

 

Apparel Branding Options

 

Getting your branding right on your custom corporate apparel is imperative to your business.  Speak to your supplier because they can explain the type of branding that is right for your chosen items and your logo.  You may consider embroidery on a shirt but a print on a polo.  Your logo and colours will also help determine the best option for you.  This will help keep your brand consistent and at the fore front of your customers minds.

 

How to Pick your Budget

 

Allocating and considering budgets is important because when choosing your corporate apparel you will need to know how to offer options to staff.  It’s also worth considering allocating a set pack to staff and allowing staff to purchase additional items.  As a result, staff are able to choose additional polos, business shirts, jackets and vests at a reduced price.  This is a great way to keep staff looking neat and encouraging staff to represent your company with pride.

These are a few tips to help ensure you are on your way to selecting and creating a corporate apparel range to suit all your needs.
