At Steel City, we select ice scrapers based on how they actually perform on a cold windscreen at 7am, not just how they look in a catalogue. We want items that are going to be useful for the recipient in their day-to-day lives, whilst offering consistent quality.
- Wide-edge scraping: Our team suggests wider scraping edges because they lift ice faster. This makes the job easier for the user and reduces the need for forceful scraping, which is when you risk putting fine scratches into the glass.
- Grip that won’t twist: We prioritise thumb-grip shapes and sturdy handles so the scraper stays stable, even when your hands are cold or you’re wearing gloves. This prevents that common slip-and-twist that snaps cheaper plastic—we want a product that is going to last.
- Centred, high-quality branding: It’s really important that your logo looks great. We stick to defined print positions and measured areas (e.g., 70×40mm, 70×35mm, 65×30mm) so the artwork sits exactly where it should. That keeps your branding sharp and aligned, rather than off-centre, ensuring it reflects the quality of your business.
- Sustainability credentials: We include recycled-content options such as GRS certified recycled plastic because it’s really important that we don’t greenwash. We can give you the full backstory and traceability of the product, so you have a straight answer if anyone asks about its eco-credentials.
- UK-made reliability: Our decision to include Made-in-UK options reduces carbon miles and prevents surprises around supply. If you run the same winter campaign each year, you can be confident the product will be available again, keeping consistency for your brand.
- Lead times that work for you: We select lines with typical production windows like 5-10 days from proof approval, plus express options where available. If there is an urgent deadline, we can usually make something work so you don’t have to compromise on the branded item you really want.
- Sizes that fit the purpose: Our range covers compact scrapers perfect for mailers and welcome packs, through to larger tools for daily drivers. We’ll help you choose a format that fits your distribution method without ending up with something too bulky to be practical for the recipient.
The products listed above are our starting suggestions; however, we take a consultative approach. If your volumes and lead time allow, our team can source bespoke options to ensure you get exactly the size, material, and look you need.
