Joe’s Picks From ASI Show Orlando: Rest & Relaxation

Product Editor Joe Haley found some new items on the trade show floor that are perfect for clearing the mind, as well as custom packaging ideal for kitting.

ASI’s most recent State of the Industry survey found that a third of all distributors in the promo industry now offer kitting services due to remote work and virtual events in the age of COVID. It’s most popular among companies with between a $1 million and $5 million in revenue; 72% of those firms offer the service. The products here, as spotted at ASI Show Orlando earlier this month by Product Editor Joe Haley, are ideally suited for shipping to remote workers as fun appreciation gifts for all their hard work.

I love this custom 99-piece pocket puzzle. It’s a fun and unique way to promote a brand, and it comes in an eco-friendly box or clear tube. Though small, it makes a great impression by creating a hands-on experience. Ideal for corporate retreats, schools and after-school programs.

American Accents (asi/35375)

imprinted kitting box

Kitting will continue to be a favorite promotional tool for many companies. But too often the mailing box is standard white with a printing label on top. Your clients can take it to the next level with a fully customized box. Available in a number of sizes, like the B-Flute (BMBFW-022) that measures 6" x 5" x 3", custom boxes are sure to add more wow to the presentation. Features simple glue- and tape-free assembly with cherry locks and dust tabs to create a secure closure. Each box is made and printed in the USA, and ships flat and unassembled.
