The Top 5 Branded Merchandise items this Summer 2025

1. The Cambridge Mug
Standard iconic mug and favourite. Multiple Colours and print methods
ECO score 6/10 – whilst Earthenware is essentially clay, the high energy costs of firing is the downside. Not a product you immediately associate with eco- friendly but given the longevity of the product and the lack of long term effect on the environment – worth considering
£3.30 each (for 100 with single colour print)

2. Reversible Bucket Hat.
One for the Summer – two designs, one hat.
ECO score 6-9/10 – the reversible hat is available in polyester. But single side print hats are also available in recycled polyester and recycled canvas. We are searching for the product which is both.
£2.75 each (based on a 1,000)

3. Eco Friendly Plantable Seeds Sprout Pencil.
Can be used as a pencil and then planted with its water-soluble seed capsule
ECO score 9/10 – great eco product. Seed products are so popular at the moment. Unlike recycled plastic pens or notebooks which are not immediately obvious in their eco credentials - seeds really hit the mark
£6.34 each (based on 100 with engraving to pencil and full colour sleeve)

4. Fidget Spinner.
The fidget spinner is back in fashion
ECO Score – 2/10 ABS plastic not great for the environment, we are trying to find an eco version.
£3.46 each (based on 100 single colour print)

5. Mood Double Walled Coffee Cup Tumbler - 330ml.
Keeps hot drinks piping hot for 4 hours and your cold drinks ice-cool for 8 hours.
ECO Score – 4/10 – made from virgin stainless steel but it does encourage refill rather than land fill. Drinks containers are perennial best sellers in Winter and Summer.
£9.20 each (based on 100 laser engraved)
