So, when it comes to Steel City Logobugs, we’ve selected a range that really sticks around – literally. We want to ensure your giveaways end up on a desk, folder, or display board, rather than getting lost in a pocket or, worse, the bin. It’s about providing items that have that staying power to keep your brand visible day-to-day. Our choices focus on UK-made consistency, clear print areas, and lead times you can actually plan around.
- UK-made consistency: We really value UK-made consistency. We’ve chosen options with fixed dimensions and clear print areas because it keeps the product size and your logo placement consistent between batches. It means when you come back to reorder, you’re not having to rework artwork to fit a “slightly different” version – it just works.
- Clear lead times: Lead times are always a popular question. Our shortlist focuses on lines with clear schedules (commonly 10 working days from proof approval) and 5-day express options where possible. We know you have event dates to hit, so this reduces the chance of any last-minute panic or having to settle for unbranded items.
- Usable print space: Usable print space is key, especially if you want to include a QR code as a call to action. We’ve prioritised items with generous full-colour print zones (like ribbon panels or shaped panels up to 85 × 85mm). This ensures your message is readable and your code is scannable, rather than being cramped and unusable.
- Proof approval process: We have a strict proof approval process. Our team runs a proof-first sign-off so your artwork gets checked and approved by you before anything goes into production. It’s part of our service to back you every step of the way, ensuring no surprises with URLs or colours when the bulk stock arrives.
- Colour matching options: We get asked a lot about colour matching. We’ve picked a range with broad body, feet, and pom colour options so we can get as close to your brand palette as possible. If a specific plastic colour isn’t available, we can offer a neutral body colour with your brand colours popping in the print – it’s a great solution that still looks fantastic.
- Self-adhesive staying power: Finally, we favour self-adhesive feet and pads because they have real staying power. They stick to flat surfaces like desks, monitors, or dashboards and stay there. When you’re handing these out, that “stays put” quality keeps your branding visible to the user day in, day out, instead of disappearing into a bag.
- Bespoke options: We use these products as a strong starting point because they offer known print areas and predictable timings. However, if you’ve got more time or higher volume, we can absolutely source bespoke variants. We’ll apply the same rigorous proofing process so you get exactly what you need without the guesswork.
