Promotional giveaways that are small, useful and branded

A well-chosen giveaway says more than its size

Promotional giveaways are not meant to be the main gift: they support it. They go inside a mailing, are handed over at the end of a visit, left on the table in a meeting or given along with the keys to a new office. Their job is to make the other person remember you the next time they open a bottle, take a supermarket trolley or look for their keys. That is why what matters is that they get used, not that they impress.

Almost everything you will find in this list is designed to go on a keyring, because that is where a small item is seen every day. But they are not all the same: the ones that solve something specific, such as opening a bottle, bleeding a radiator or measuring a gap, stay in someone’s pocket longer than those that only carry a logo. Choose the giveaway to suit the occasion and the sector of the person receiving it.

Which giveaway to choose for each occasion

What makes a giveaway worth keeping

• It solves something: a trolley coin, bottle opener or radiator key gives people a reason to keep it on their keyring.
• It is lightweight: it will travel in an envelope, a trade show bag or a pocket; a compact piece does not get in the way.
• Your logo still works small: on an item of just a few centimetres, a one-colour symbol reads better than a logo with fine text.
• It does not feel disposable: metal, wood and bamboo feel more considered than thin plastic, even when the use is the same.
• It relates to what you do: a house for an estate agency, a helmet for a construction firm, an opener for a drinks brand.

How a small item can be branded

The price of each item includes one-colour printing in the standard branding area. The second side, extra colours or another technique are adjusted in the quote.

• Laser engraving: the most common technique on metal, wood and bamboo. It is not ink, so the logo does not rub off against keys.
• Pad printing: one- or two-colour ink on plastic pieces or painted metal, with your exact brand colour.
• UV digital print: full colour, for logos with gradients or small photographs.
• Resin dome: a colour label protected by a raised transparent layer, giving a glossy, dimensional finish.
• A message on each side: your brand on one side and, on the other, a date, an event name or a short line.

How to combine giveaways in one order

Each model has a minimum of 10 units and the quote, a total of CZK 2,444. Because a giveaway has a low unit cost, it is common to order it together with other items: a keyring and a pen for the reception desk, an opener in an event bag or a house keyring alongside a folder for handing over keys. If you want more ideas for that kind of distribution, see promotional gifts for companies and event merchandise; to compare materials, rings and carabiners, read the guide to custom keyrings.

If what you need is for each person to receive their own welcome pack assembled and sent individually, that is handled by Pekata’s welcome pack service, which sits outside this order. For branded giveaways, request a quote: it reaches you within 24 working hours with the free mock-up, you pay when you approve it, and production normally takes two to three weeks. We ship with tracking to one address or several sites across the European Union.
