    Wave Anyone know of any supplier of pre-moistened towelettes with printing available???

    Hey all,
    Trying to find a supplier to buy pre-moistened towelettes with our office info printed on them to give away in a grab bag at an expo in 2 weeks. Not the big packs, but individual towelettes and having them stamped or printed. Any suggestions??? Thanks.

    May I suggest, unless cost is no object, that since most of the towelettes, as individuals, are approximately the size of a business card.....that(for this occasion) you simply staple them to a card. Staple on the border only, of course!

    Another thought is to attach them to a greeting card style promo with hot glue, or that other stuff that is used on the front of phone books.

    Nano film may do that, otherwise look into a corporate mechandising company, the kind that do mugs and pens. they probably will have something along the lines of what you are looking for.

    I think Hilco can do it. Check their catalogue. California Accessories does as well.

    They will open the little package and throw it away! Give them something that they will keep! Big waste of money otherwise! An imprinted micro fibre cloth will give you more bang for your buck.

    Why not? Ummm...perhaps because as a new business trying to build a patient/client base, you probably don't want to destroy patient's lenses with abrasive "cleaning" products. But hey - to each their own.

    In the practices I've worked in over the years, far better luck was had using printed or embossed micro fiber cloths that are washable, and can last for years. But if an abrasive, disposable wet nap that gets tossed as soon as it's used - and your office info along with it - is what you're after, by all means...

    Have fun with it! :cheers::cheers::cheers:

    Very true. Thank you for the new suggestion. Thats what I was looking for. I was also looking into microfiber cleaning cloths, getting ideas. Considering both, but given that printed microfiber cloths will cost 3 times more and we have only just opened, I was trying to think of options of something we could give people during the expo. Will have over 2000 people walking through.

    You'll be there promoting yourself, spend some money on it. Show them what a class act you are. One or two new customers will pay for it.
