With its navigation lights, a ship calls attention to itself at sea. Our promotional items, too, let your logo shine in the brightest light. You achieve a good signalling effect, have a high range of influence, and hardly any wastage compared to classic advertising media such as announcements, posters, or radio and TV advertising. This is why promotional items should be an inherent part of your company’s marketing mix.

The objective advertising medium offers space for sustainable marketing messages. A ballpoint pen with a company logo and slogan makes the message tangible. The promotional item is the suitable medium to collect brownie points with a small gesture of giving, to strengthen existing customer relations, and to gain new customers. A personal gift conveys what is difficult to express in words: appreciation and solidarity.

The year has twelve months and offers many opportunities to gift promotional items. Give-aways facilitate establishing contacts at fairs. Promotional gifts increase the response of advertising campaigns at the point of sale. They are also used as loyalty gifts, during Christmas time, or in raffles.

While searching for a sea route to India, Columbus discovered America. Don´t take a detour when searching for the fitting advertising medium or luggage. We have created a colourful, variegated, and astonishing programme. Our full range of items with more than 3.000 products perfectly covers all areas from business to leisure and innovatively connects them.

We update our collection twice per year. This is the only way to keep it interesting for you. In January and September, we present you our novelties in new catalogues. Inspirion knows the market and banks on its own know-how as well as customers´ wishes. This way, we keep current trends in our sights. A requirement for effective advertising gifts and well-designed suitcases is professional innovation management. Our product managers visit suppliers and trade shows all over the world for you, in order to track down exciting novelties. After all, it is our goal to offer you a balanced product portfolio.

The respectable merchant is true to his word, handsales hold good. This is not enough for you? Your customers only trust in numbers? We have compiled representative studies with reliable data for you. This way, you can back up your sales strategies with concrete arguments and prove why the promotional item should not be missing in the marketing mix of advertising companies.

A
modern technique to create high-quality stickers that are eye-catching.
Digital printing on specialised self-adhesive foil ensures vibrant colours
and a photorealistic finish. Applying this technique, we exclusively use the
CMYK colour palette to achieve the best effect. The process is efficient and
allows fast production.

This is an advanced technique that delivers high-quality, full-colour designs with
exceptional detail and flexibility. It involves printing a digital image onto
special transfer foil, which is then heat-pressed onto the fabric. Applying
this technique, we exclusively use the CMYK colour palette to achieve the
best effect. The result is a soft, photographic-quality print that is vibrant
and durable.

A dynamic technique that creates eye-catching stickers by applying a clear
resin over a printed logo. This resin not only protects the design but also
adds a distinctive, glossy, and tactile finish. Applying this technique, we
exclusively use the CMYK colour palette to achieve the best effect. Perfect
for promotional items, doming ensures your design remains striking and
resilient in various conditions.

A
sophisticated technique that uses high-precision lasers to create
personalised gifts or premium products with a high-quality finish. It's ideal
for items like wood, metal, or glass. Even if it uses no colours, the
contrast between the engraved design and the base material adds a refined
touch.

This technique is most often used on leather and synthetic leather products. The
stamp is used to emboss a logo into the surface of the item by using the
appropriate pressure and temperature. It is also possible to produce a
coloured embossment by using a suitable foil.

A cutting-edge technique that applies a striking, light-reflective design to
various materials using a special foil and heat. It is perfect for adding an
eye-catching element to items. The reflective effect is visible under any
colour and enhances visibility in low-light conditions.

This is an ideal technique for creating vibrant, long-lasting designs on large,
flat surfaces. This method involves pushing ink through a specially prepared
mesh screen, allowing precise application of each colour to the product.
Applying this technique, we only use the Pantone Solid C colour palette for
the best effect. It’s perfect for multi-colour prints.

A refined technique that uses computer-controlled machines to stitch vibrant, 
durable designs onto textiles. It uses up to 10 colours in a single design  and adds a sophisticated, tactile element to items. Ideal for high-quality 
branding and customisation, ensuring a professional and long-lasting finish.

A
high-quality solution, perfect for creating vivid, long-lasting designs. It
involves heating sublimation inks on transfer paper, which sublimates
directly from solid to gas, embedding the ink into the fabric. Applying this
technique, we exclusively use the CMYK colour palette to achieve the best
effect. The result is a print that becomes part of the material, ensuring
durability and a soft finish. 

This
is an ideal technique for applying precise designs to small or irregular
surfaces. Using a flexible silicone pad, ink is transferred directly onto the
object, ensuring high durability and accuracy even on uneven surfaces.
Applying this technique, we only use the Pantone Solid C colour palette for
the best effect. This method is perfect for printing on materials like
plastic, glass, metal, and wood.

An
excellent technique for achieving high-quality screen prints on various
materials. It involves transferring a pre-printed design from a special
transfer foil to the desired item using a heat press. Applying this
technique, we only use the Pantone Solid C colour palette for the best
effect. The result is a sharp, long-lasting print that is perfect for larger
production runs.

A
versatile technique that applies detailed, permanent designs around the
entire surface of cylindrical or curved objects. It uses rotary attachments
to achieve precise and elegant engravings on all sides of the product. Ideal
for personalising items such as bottles, pens, and glasses.

An
advanced technique that applies full-colour designs around the entire
circumference of cylindrical objects using UV-curable inks. Ideal for
customising products like cups or bottles. Using this technique, we
exclusively use the CMYK colour palette to achieve the best effect. This
method delivers vivid, high-gloss colours that are both durable and
resistant.

An
innovative technique designed to utilise the surface area of cylindrical
objects in full. This method provides great coverage on round surfaces by
applying the print as the object rotates. Applying this technique, we only
use the Pantone Solid C colour palette for the best effect. It delivers
precise and wear-resistant results in intense colours.

With us, you move in safe waters. The safety of our products lies close to our hearts. For customer satisfaction is not only a question of price but also quality.

The colleagues in our purchasing offices in Shanghai and Hong Kong are in close contact with quality control staff and suppliers. Inspections as needed take place before, during, and after production. Furthermore, there are routine controls before every shipment. Finally, our purchasers in the Sottrum head office assure themselves of the quality of the imported goods.

Promotional items are subject to strict European regulations. All products shown in this catalogue have been put through their paces.

Recognized certificates are the key to the market and give our customers a competitive advantage. This is why Inspirion works with accredited test laboratories that conduct the tests neutrally and correctly. The inspectors in the factories make sure that internationally valid standards or legal regulations (e.g. AZO and cadmium free, CE marking) are complied with. Furthermore, all Inspirion items undergo a risk evaluation regarding substances of very high concern (SVHC) according to REACH Regulation. Through the cooperation with accredited testing laboratories we assure the conformity of our promotional items and suitcases. Declarations of conformity are nowadays necessary in order to put products onto the European economic area. Test reports form the basis of these declarations of conformity.

For many years, we have successfully worked together with these accredited testing laboratories:

• Eurofins
• SGS
• TÜV
• Hansecontrol

To find pearls, one hast to dive to the bottom of the ocean. During their travels, our purchasers dive into the colourful world of promotional items.

It is our goal to offer you an innovative and balanced product portfolio so that you can reel in some customers.

Our experts possess profound product knowledge and work closely together with our purchasing offices in Far East.

Our design approach: It shall be nice and functional. Our collection carries the signature of internationally renowned designers and creative product managers. Funny shapes, eye-catching designs and high functionality take centre stage of every product design. We also bundle different functions and fuse them into an item with high utility value. This is the reason why a key holder at the same time is a torch and a bottle opener. There you have it – a design object with triple usefulness.

We have marked our own creations with labels that emphasise our brands. Renowned designers such as Jean Pierre Vitrac and Jeremy Morgan have created unique umbrellas for us. Moreover, we work together with young product designers that create exclusive luggage for our brand CHECK.IN®. Our design pieces from TOPiCO focus on simple elegance and timeless aesthetics.

An intricately designed ship that sparkles and shines attracts a lot of attention in the harbour. Our award-winning products, too, enjoy a high reputation in the promotional items industry.
