Work that Brown Bag

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Some days you need to get out of the office for lunch. But, sometimes you have those days when you are so swamped at work that bringing lunch from home is necessary. Instead of bringing that nasty paper brown bag that has leaked remnants of food onto your desk and seat, use the brown bag that serves a dual purpose. This bag keeps your meal healthy, and when it gets a little battered, you can recycle it. When have you even been able to recycle an actual bag? Not very often I’m guessing. Bullpen marketing is now offering this Brown bag which is made of laminated material, is water resistant, has a fully insulated interior and cleaned with only one nice swipe of a wet cloth.

This might seem like a regular bag, but it’s the gift that keeps on giving. Whether you want to reward your employees, give a little something to customers, or show off this affordable asset to the environment at fundraisers or private functions and events, this bag will encourage all who receive it to keep working hard, keep up support, stay green, and maybe even cut down on fast food.

You can buy this item as low as $2.28 with an imprint area as large as 4″x 4″. It has an open front pocket, a contrast carry handle with 5″ drop heigh and the bag dimensions are H 11″ x W 5″ x D 7.5″.

Think Green for the Holidays: 5 cool gifts

think-greenIn early 2008, I was proud that Bullpen was the first company in Houston to roll out a line of eco-friendly promotional products.  People said we were tree huggers and that eco-friendly items were a fad that wouldn’t last.

Time has proven that we made the right choice.  At Bullpen, we are committed to offering products and conducting our business in a socially responsible way.  Given the current global environmental challenges, we continue to reduce our carbon footprint and our impact on the world around us.  In the spirit of the holiday season, here are 5 ideas that we think are really cool.  Wipe the bark off your shirt and read on…

Sunflower Hulls and Old Newspapers

So Bullpen got this sample in the mail – and it’s crazy!  It’s actually hanging on my office wall as I type.  One of our manufacturers now makes a frame – yes, just a normal picture frame – that is made out of recycled sunflower hulls! I kid you not!  It even smells like them!

Recycled Frame Made Out of Sunflower Hulls

The manufacturer calls it “Dakota Burl.”  Apparently that is supposed to be more seductive than “mashed up seeds.” ; )  I like it, though!  The patterning does resemble burled wood.  It’s hanging on my wall due to the sheer novelty. =)

The same manufacturer has another really cool item – a set of coffeetable coasters made from “biocomposite” – which is nothing more than recycled newspapers!

They’re elegant and mod – they totally remind me of a San Francisco loft.

Green Promo Items: Just in Time for Earth Day!

Friday, April 11th, 2008

With Earth Day just around the corner, this is the perfect time to invest in some cool green promotional products. There are green promo items made from organic fabrics, recycled materials or bamboo. Eco-friendly products include umbrellas with bamboo handles, wine racks made from bamboo, organic tote bags, recyclable pens, notebooks made from recycled materials. What a great way to put your name in front of your audience while demonstrating your commitment to a safer, cleaner environment.

Seed-Embedded Stationery

Notecard embedded with seedsThis notecard is imprinted with a company’s name and contact information and comes in all shapes and sizes. The paper is embedded with seeds that can be planted to grow wild flowers, vegetables and herbs.

Seed cards are a big hit with women and gardening enthusiasts. When the recipient has read your message, they simply place the card in dirt, water it and wait for buds to grow.

These cards typically range from $2 to $4 a piece and provide your clients and employees with a lasting gift.

Water-Powered CalculatorsWater-powered calculator

These calculators are incredibly fun and effective for any audience. They are battery-less and made from recycled plastic. There’s a bullet-like piece that contains water, which powers the calculator. The bullet fits into the top of the calculator and is refilled when the water runs out.

Your company’s name and logo can be printed above the number screen. These usually cost between $10 and $12, but will forever remain on your audience’s desk. Priceless !

Battery-Less Flashlights

battery-less flashlightMany occasions call for a flashlight – flat tire, electricity outage, tornado! With everything else to remember, who has time for batteries? This battery-less flashlight charges by hand-cranking the arm.

Your name or logo is printed on top. These products can range anywhere from $10 to $30 depending on which features you choose. Some flashlights feature an emergency siren, FM scan radio, cell phone charging capabilities and magnetic wall mounts.

This products is great because it does not have batteries, which contribute dangerous leads and acids into the environment. Another exciting thing about this product is that it appeals to most any audience. Women keep them in their vehicles or purses for emergencies. Men use them to work in dark areas such as under the car or in the attic.

Green products are the new trendy promotional tool. Because so many companies are going green with recyclable office supplies, it’s great that they have more green options available.
