Enhance Your Summer Apparel Order with Custom Branded Drinkware and Soft Goods

Summer is the perfect time to boost your brand’s presence with vibrant custom apparel. But why stop at shirts and hoodies? Bundling your summer custom apparel order with branded drinkware and soft goods can elevate your promotional efforts, enhance client and employee engagement, and provide practical items that people will use all season long.

At Underground Printing, we offer a broad range of customization options not just for apparel but also for top-quality drinkware and soft goods. Let's explore some of the best items to bundle with your summer apparel for a well-rounded branded package.

Why Bundle Drinkware and Soft Goods with Summer Apparel?

Summer events, company picnics, trade shows, or giveaways are all excellent opportunities to showcase your brand. While custom apparel like short sleeve t-shirts or custom hats are crowd favorites, pairing these with practical drinkware and soft goods provides a complete branded experience.

  • Increased Brand Visibility: Drinkware items such as tumblers or water bottles are used repeatedly, keeping your logo in sight and mind.
  • Enhanced Practicality: Soft goods like towels or blankets are appreciated for their comfort, especially at outdoor summer events.
  • Improved Customer and Employee Experience: Bundling creates a premium feel and encourages loyalty.

Top Custom Branded Drinkware for Summer

Hydration is key during the hot summer months, making drinkware an ideal branded gift. Here are some top options you can customize:

1. Custom Tumblers

Our custom tumblers are perfect for keeping drinks cold all day. Double-walled and durable, these tumblers are excellent for outdoor events and daily use.

2. Water Bottles

Choose from insulated or standard custom water bottles to promote wellness and sustainability. Branded water bottles are versatile giveaways for employees and customers alike.

3. Can Coolers (Koozies)

Keep beverages cool and hands dry with custom can coolers. These compact and affordable items are fantastic add-ons for any summer event or order.

4. Ceramic Mugs

While mugs may be more associated with indoor use, custom ceramic mugs make great gifts for office workers or morning coffee lovers.

Soft goods add comfort and style to any branded offering and are a great way to extend your brand's reach beyond apparel.

1. Custom Towels

Perfect for beach trips, poolside lounging, or gym use, custom towels are practical summer essentials that carry your logo in a big way.

2. Blankets

Branded custom blankets are great for summer evenings, concerts, and outdoor events. They offer comfort and create positive brand associations.

3. Custom Bags and Totes

Tote bags and backpacks are perfect for summer adventures and errands. Check out our custom tote bags collection to pair with your apparel.

4. Custom Hats and Headwear

No summer apparel bundle is complete without sun protection. Add some custom hats or branded headbands to help keep your team or customers cool and stylish.

How to Choose the Right Bundle for Your Brand

When deciding which drinkware and soft goods to bundle, consider your audience, event type, and budget.

  • Know Your Audience: Are they outdoor enthusiasts, office workers, or students? For example, water bottles and can coolers are great for outdoor and active groups.
  • Event Specifics: For company picnics or trade shows, combining custom t-shirts with drinkware and hats can provide a complete branded look.
  • Budget Considerations: Balancing quality and cost is key; drinkware items like custom koozies are budget-friendly add-ons.
