Ordering a size up "to be safe" wrecks more corporate hoodie orders than ordering too small. Sounds backwards, but we see it every winter. A buyer gets nervous looking at the size chart, bumps the whole team up one, and...
The most valuable advertising space in Australian hospitality isn't a billboard on the Hume or a boosted Instagram post. It's the half metre of table in front of your customer, the apron on your barista, and the coffee cup walking...
A 12oz cotton canvas weighs roughly 405 grams per square metre. An 8oz canvas sits closer to 270gsm. That 50 per cent difference in material is usually the gap between a branded tote still hauling groceries in three years and...
700 millilitres. That's the capacity of a surprising number of entry-level lunch boxes floating around the promotional products market, and in real terms it holds one sandwich and a muesli bar. Order 500 of those with your logo on the...
Five new arrivals hit the Promo Punks shelves this week, and there is a theme if you squint: things people actually keep. Packaging that survives the courier, keytags with real weight, and a phone accessory that pulls double duty on...
A standard pulpboard beer coaster measures about 1.4mm thick. That's roughly two business cards stacked on top of each other. Natural cork coasters start at 3mm and run up to 5mm, and a rubber-backed hardboard coaster can push past 6mm....

A laptop knocked off a standard 75cm desk hits the floor at roughly 14 km/h. The maths is simple physics: impact speed = √(2 × 9.8 m/s² × 0.75m) = 3.8 metres per second, which converts to about 13.8 km/h....
Day two of a Melbourne trade expo. A delegate reaches into her lanyard pouch, pulls out the pin your team handed her yesterday, and pushes it through her blazer lapel. By lunch, three people have asked where she got it....
Australia goes through an estimated 1.8 billion disposable coffee cups every year. That's roughly 70 cups per person, most of them in landfill within twenty minutes of the first sip. Which explains why reusable coffee cups have become one of...
