Promotional Items - are they kept are they used?

A lot of lower priced promotional items are not used as much as the company doing the promotion had hoped. Pens, mugs, caps can sometimes just gather dust or be discarded, because the utility is not unique, does not meet a specific need. Not much thought has gone into evaluating the need of the end user.

Redi-Medic promotional first aid kits meet a real need. Safety, health, security are real concerns. And a first aid kit, when needed, can save a life. People will put their first aid kit in a readily accessible area, and remember where it is. Can you say that about a pencil with your logo on it?

Our under ten dollar kits work well for all applications. Wallet kits and glovebox kits will be taken with the end user, ready for the eventual emergency.

Roadside Preparedness

Probably the best definition of roadside preparedness would be: any item or group of items that would be helpful in alleviating a stressful situation brought on by vehicle and/or weather problems.

Redi-Medic Roadside Emergency Kits are designed with the intent to get you moving. If that's not possible, then to make you as comfortable as possible given the circumstances until help arrives.

Essential items in a roadside car kit should have some or all of the following items:
• Light source - perfect for seeing and for signaling
• First Aid - small mishaps can occur while attempting to get moving
• Environmentals - items to provide heat and comfort
• Vehicle essentials - tow straps, shovel, booster cables, tire sealers, etc.

All of the above items can be found in our product line. We also leave extra room in each case for personal items to be added.

The Web's Best Free Software

BE PREPARED to pay about $3000 if you want just a handful of the most popular Windows programs - top-shelf software such as Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat and Photoshop, Nero 7 and a decent security suite.

Of course, if you had that much money to spend, you'd probably invest in a top-grade PC with everything that opens and shuts.

Here's the quandary. If you have just bought a new PC for that much, you probably won't be splashing out another few thousand dollars on software. Nor will you be going on a software shopping spree if you're still using a PC from a few years back, because you're saving for a new system or because you've inherited a hand-me-down machine when someone else has upgraded.

Here's the answer: free software, also known as freeware. Yes, you read it correctly - programs that don't cost a cent yet meet all your basic needs (and then some) and are just as good as their expensive heavyweight counterparts

Silk Screen Printing

Legendary references point out to the fact that silk was discovered in Asia. In Silkscreen printing, screens were originally made of a piece of absorbent fine silk. Silkscreen printing originated from simple Japanese stenciling art forms. The modern Silkscreen process has evolved from ideas adopted by John Pilsworth in 1914 in San Francisco, California. This is known to be the first reference material on how to use a Silkscreen to form multicolor prints. It is a source of information that is applied even today.

Screen printing, also known as Silkscreening or serigraphy, is a printing method that usually creates a sharp edged single color mage using a stencil and a porous fabric. An image created using this technique is called a screen-print or serigraph. In electrical terms, silkscreen refers to the writing on a printed circuit board. This method maybe used in etching copper wiring on a circuit board.

This technology gained its popularity from the “Pop Art Movement” of the 1960s. At present, this method is increasingly being used in fine arts and small-scale commercial printing. Silkscreening gained popularity during the First World War. The industry flourished in response to the increasing demand for printing flags and banners. Consequently, the use of graphic stencils also increased.

There are several ways to create a pattern for screen printing. The simplest way to create a silkscreen pattern is by hand. One can acquire a desired shape by cutting a piece of paper or plastic film and fasten it to the screen or by creating an illustration on the screen itself. A more artistic method involves painting a picture with drawing paint. After it dries, it is coated with screen filler. This is again dried and then, water is squirted on it. This washes away all the material leaving behind a stencil spray. This method permits the artist to stay true to the portrayal technique and yet create multiples.

Silkscreen printing is most commonly used for t-shirts, garments and other fabrics. It is also used on ceramic objects, metal, wood, paper, glass, and synthetic items. This technique is essential and ideal to represent bold and graphic designs. Today screen printing is more flexible than conventional printing techniques and is being increasingly used in a wide variety of industries.

4 Color Printing and Pantone

Colors exact attitude and moods. They are essential in a way that they give off meaning and feelings. This is also true with the printing systems.

The two common color printing systems used in printing services are Pantone and CMYK. Let us tackle them one by one.

Pantone Matching System (PMS), Spot color or Pantone color is a color system based on a set of inks which are mixed to produce solid colors. These colors are now used in printing your job order. The colors here are mixed prior to mixing thus, they are more accurate and consistent all throughout the printing job. Also, Pantone colors can be 'screened'. This means that fewer dots of color are used per inch therefore, the color emerge lighter. Pantone colors are indispensable when it comes to logos, stationery packages and the likes. This is especially true if the customer is interested in exacting the accurate color in the original image.

The use of Pantone colors in printing services is expensive compared to CMYK. This is the reason why the use of Pantone colors is limited up to three colors only. However, Pantone colors on your logo, graphics or your corporate color ensures that exact colors can be yielded.

Cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) colors also known as 4 color printing or process color printing uses the four ink colors in order to yield tiny dots referred to as screen or line screen. These dots contain tiny rainbow of colors. This is the reason why it can produce a full range of color. Thus, when your printing needs demand a wider color application, you can opt for 4 color printing.

4 color printing services is less expensive than Pantone color printing. If you further want lesser expense then go for CMYK digital printing instead of 4 color printing. Nonetheless, the colors, thickness of paper and types in digital printing are oftentimes limited. They are dependent on the printing machine's capabilities and specifications.

A word of caution in using 4 color printing: Do not expect to yield metallics and very bright colors. Most often than not, these colors vary depending on the printer's range, calibration and colors to be printed. Moreover, color accuracy may not be that exact. To expand the range of colors, use Pantone colors alternatively or go for a six or seven color printing. That way, you are not that limited in the choice of printing colors.
