Promotional Stress Balls That Get Used, Not Stored
Most promotional products are only noticed once, but promotional stress balls are handled again and again. For example, they are used on a desk, in a car, or during a long meeting - so each time they are squeezed, it is another small opportunity for your brand to make an impression. It is because of this repeated contact that they are so effective at trade shows, for employee kits, at school events, and in customer thank-you packs.
Several factors will increase the amount you get from an order.
Match the shape to the message
You can use stress balls in custom shapes, such as sports balls or those designed for particular seasons and as novelties, to make a statement about your business. For example, a soccer ball for a youth league, an earth ball for a company that deals with logistics or promotes sustainability, and a push pop style for a wellness event. People will remember where the item came from if the shape is linked with your brand.
Think about who will hold it
With large and diverse audiences, a classic round ball in your brand colors generally receives a positive response; it is advisable, on the other hand, to experiment with a novelty or sensory shape when addressing smaller, more specific groups.
Plan for the whole kit
Stress balls with a brand name go well with pens, notebooks, and drinkware, so they can be included in a welcome bag or placed next to a more substantial gift. Brand-logo stress balls also work nicely on their own as a simple thank you at events.
Order a little ahead
Giveaways usually finish off faster than one might expect, which is why it is a good idea to have a small buffer.
Custom Stress Balls: Materials, Colors and Sizes
The majority of stress balls used for promotion are made of polyurethane foam since this material is soft, springs back when squeezed, and retains a printed logo well. This kind of foam is usually used in the classic round and sports ball designs. On the other hand, soe of the push-pop and bounce types are made from silicone, which provides a firmer and more bouncy sensation. The material used for each product is listed on its product page so that you can select it according to your audience.
Custom stress balls are available in a wide variety of colors, and if you would like a mixture, you can include different colors in the same order. The sizes range from small ones that fit in the palm to larger ones that provide more space for your logo, and the area for the imprint is indicated on each product page.
Imprint Options for Custom Printed Stress Balls
The imprint colors, the area available for imprinting, and the methods on offer will differ according to the product, so you should look at the details on the product page before finalising your artwork. One color, two color, three color, and full color options are available. Since the imprint area on a stress ball is small, it is best to use simple and bold designs. Our design team will resize or tidy up your logo at no extra cost and will provide you with a free digital proof so that you can review it before production starts. If you want additional imprint colors, these may increase the cost, so be sure to mention them when you ask for a quote.

What imprint options are available for stress balls with logo?

Which stress ball is best for trade shows?
For wide appeal, a classic round ball in your brand colors is hard to beat, and the 2.75 Inch Custom Printed Stress Balls offer a broad color range. If you want visitors to linger at your booth, push pop styles give them something to play with. For sports events, soccer, baseball, and football shapes fit the occasion.
Are stress balls safe for kids?
