Well….it seems there can! The Antibac Pen is a unique and innovative promotional pen which takes promotional pens to another level. This clever pen not only gives you all the usual benefits of a good promotional pen, but it offers something other pens cannot. The groundbreaking antibacterial qualities of this pen can protect users against the spread of superbugs.

Pens can be a common way of spreading diseases in communal situations such as offices, schools, supermarkets, banks, and in particularly susceptible places such as hospitals, clinics and doctors’ surgeries. The antibac properties of the antibac pen actually kill over 99% of harmful bacteria and viruses due to the active formula moulded into the fabric of the pen itself. Because it is part of the make-up of the pen, rather than being superficially coated after manufacture, the antibac properties remain active for the lifetime of the pen, thus protecting all users from cross infection. To maintain their integrity, the antibac formula is also present in the inks used to personalize these pens.

Choosing the promotional Antibac Pen now to have imprinted with your company branding, will give you a head start on the competition, before everyone finds out about it and jumps on the bandwagon. Make sure your target audience understand what an amazing pen you have given them and bask in the glory of a job well done. They will appreciate the consideration, innovation and concern in your choice of promotional gifts. The positive response will be immediate and genuine.

Payback will be swift!

The perfect promotional conference bag for your event will depend on what you need your bag to do for you, as well as the requirements of your target audience. If you just want something for your attendees to be able to carry things around while making sure your company name and marketing messages are clearly seen everywhere, you may only need a simple printed Carrier Bag or re-useable Tote Bag. A more structured approach, needing distribution of information or multiple promotional products, would suggest a need for a more substantial promotional Conference Bag. This could feature a series of pockets to accommodate different items, such as promotional pads and pens, calculators, USBs and any other promotional items or information you want to put together.

If you are organizing an internal conference for your employees, you may want to offer a more substantial imprinted bag which can be used on other business and corporate occasions. Here you might consider a high quality business bag to safely carry a laptop or other company materials, or perhaps one on wheels to ease the daily burden.

Whichever promotional bag will best suit your needs and those of your targeted audience, PG Branding can have it imprinted to your exact specifications to create a promotional gift which will be highly appreciated and repeatedly used to make sure your company logo is seen out and about in all the right places.
