At Steel City, we know that when you put your logo on a product, you want it to be perceived as really good quality. We pick our eco corporate gifts by looking at what makes a product last – avoiding things like leaking lids or cables that charge slowly.
That’s why our suggestions focus on items that will be used time and time again, with clear material credentials and branding that looks great even after the daily commute.
- Useful in the day-to-day: We always steer you towards products that fit into people’s working lives – like vacuum insulation, leak-resistant lids, and higher-output charging. We know that if the specs aren’t right, it won’t get used, and we want to prevent that “first-week failure.”
- Traceability and no greenwashing: It’s really important that we don’t greenwash. We prioritise products with GRS/RCS recycled content, AWARE® verification, and Cradle to Cradle Certified™ claims. This gives you the backstory and the evidence you need when asked, “what is this made of?”
- High-quality branding: Your brand needs to stand out for the right reasons. We recommend methods like laser engraving, debossing, and foil blocking because they resist scuffs and handling. This keeps your logo readable and looking professional after weeks of desk use and washing.
- Visual proofs every time: We always provide a visual proof before production so you can see exactly how the artwork, layout, and colours will look. It helps us catch any issues early and ensures you are completely happy before we proceed.
- UK and European options: We include plenty of UK-made options because they help reduce shipping miles and make origin checks simpler. It’s a great way to tick the sustainability box while keeping supply lines short.
- Fast turnaround times: We know deadlines can be tight. We have a range of products available with express lead times – often 4-6 working days from artwork approval – so we can usually make something work for your event or campaign.
- Curated recommendations: We use our experience to select items we know work and are worth keeping. However, if you need something specific, we’ll take a consultative approach to source exactly the right material or pack format for your rollout.
