Which is the promotional travel adapter for you? Help your customers to escape to sunnier climates, away from the rain, the cold and the dark with our customisable travel adaptors.

What is a Travel Adapter?

So what exactly is a travel adapter? It is “a plug that connects a piece of electrical equipment brought from one country to the electricity supply in another when they cannot be connected directly, used especially when travelling” (Cambridge Dictionary 2018) - a necessity for any holiday abroad! 

Fun fact: Did you know that adaptor can be spelt both as adapter and adaptor?

Who Uses Promotional Travel Adaptors?

You don’t just have to be a tech company, travel agents or airline business to consider purchasing travel adapters for your next promotional marketing campaign. It is an uplifting and eye-catching product that reminds customers of their summer holidays, helping to build excitement in the lead up.

When your customers dig their new multi travel adapter out of their suitcase they will see your aesthetically pleasing logo printed in full colour across the product and be reminded of you in this happy moment!

This is a product with a long shelf life which will remind customers of you for years and years after they have recieved the gift - definitely worth the promotional investment.

So, with this in mind we decided we would help you out with a roundup of our top travel adaptor products, with advantages and disadvantages of each.

1. LED Travel Adaptors

Pros:

• These light up adapters are available in a wide range of colours, as well as the option of pantone matching to suit your corporate brand image
• They can be printed in up to full colour to 1 position, which is ideal for brands with logos that have shading, tints or multiple different colours.
• They are mega effective at showing off your logo wherever your customers are on their travels, as your brand can be illuminated in the colour of your choice.
• Easy to slide into a pocket or case so that your customers can charge devices on the go.
• The 8 hole global socket can be used worldwide in over 150 countries including the USA, UK, Australia and the EU.

Cons:

• This is one of our pricier adaptor products, so not the one for you if you are on a tight budget. However this is a product that can last a lifetime, and so it is a good idea to invest in something very special and high quality, that your customers will continue to use (and be reminded of you) 10 years down the line!
• These have a minimum order quantity of 500 units and so they are only likely to be suitable for medium to large sized businesses.

Pros:

• This very handy universal travel plug fits into a compact box for storage.
• It is of course RoHS compliant (Restriction of Hazardous Substances).
• With an MOQ (minimum order quantity) of just 25 units, this is an ideal giveaway product for small to medium sized businesses.
• This is one of our cheaper travel adaptor products; a great option if you have a tight budget!

Cons:

• This product is only available in black or white, and so it is slightly more creatively restrictive than some of our other adaptors.

• These are available in a white, black, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, as well as pantone matched.

Cons:

• This promotional product has an MOQ of 500 pieces, and so it could work out as quite a costly promotional marketing campaign (but great for large businesses who have the budget to invest in high-end luxury merchandise!)

4. Tribox World Travel Adapters

• There is also the potential risk of losing one of the parts to this adapter, as it can be completely separated into different parts
• Pantone colour matching is not available for these adapters and so not appropriate if you have strict brand guidelines (however we’re sure your colourful logo on a white or black adapter would look great!

5. Digitally Printed Adaptors

Pros:

• These can be digitally printed; perfect for company logos that have fading colours or gradients.
• These are suitable for a company of any size, with a low minimum order quantity of just 50 pieces.
