Essential Personalised Products for Summer Events and Festivals

Whether you're planning a corporate event, a food and drink festival or a local fair, one thing’s for certain - personalised products and signature materials can take your brand presence to the next level. From staff uniforms to custom signage that guides and engages attendees, every detail contributes to a polished and seamless experience. 

Branded merchandise like tote bags, reusable cups or pens helps keep your business top of mind long after the event ends. Meanwhile, printed materials such as leaflets, brochures or menus provide key information and enhance customer engagement on the day.

At Advance Supplies, we specialise in helping businesses and event organisers stand out with high-quality, branded solutions. With over 25 years in the industry, we know how to manage urgent requests while maintaining attention to detail and brand consistency. So whether you're finalising your event look or need a quick solution for an upcoming appearance, we’re here to help - professionally, reliably and on time.

No matter what you may need, we are your one-stop shop for everything you need to bring your event to life. Here are some must-have personalised products to make your summer event unforgettable:

1. Custom T-Shirts & Apparel

Event staff, volunteers or attendees - all can benefit from personalised clothing. Branded t-shirts, Hi-Vis jackets and caps are not only practical in the summer heat but also help reinforce your brand identity and ensure your team is easy to identify.

Top picks:

• Branded staff t-shirts
• Embroidered caps
• Hi-vis jackets
• Branded jackets for evening events
• Custom tote bags

2. Reusable Water Bottles & Drinkware

With sustainability becoming a top priority for many events, reusable drinkware is a brilliant way to align with eco-conscious values while promoting your brand during, and even after, the big day. Offer custom water bottles, tumblers or cups as merchandise or giveaways.

Why it works:

• Promotes hydration at outdoor events
• Keeps your brand visible all-day
• Made to last for months following the event, for continuous awareness
• Great for resale or promotional gifts

3. Signage & Banners

From entry points to stage areas, clear and vibrant signage is essential for navigation and visibility. Custom banners, flags and directional signs help manage foot traffic and reinforce branding throughout the venue.

Ideas include:

• Pop-up banners
• Branded welcome signs
• Custom flags and feather banners
  

Hosting a recurring event and want to avoid the cost of new signage each time?

At Advance Supplies, we offer flexible, custom signage solutions designed with reusability in mind. By creating signage with easily updatable elements - like removable or replaceable date sections - we make it simple and cost-effective to refresh your materials for each event.

It’s a smart, sustainable way to maintain a consistent brand presence without starting from scratch every time. Whether it’s annual festivals, seasonal promotions or touring events, we’ve got you covered with signage that adapts to your schedule and saves you money.

4. Festival Wristbands

Printed wristbands are a staple at festivals and ticketed events. They can be personalised with your logo, event name or even sponsor branding for added promotional value.

Options:

• Fabric wristbands for a premium feel
• Tyvek or vinyl for security access control
• QR codes for digital check-in

5. Printed Flyers & Brochures

Even in a digital age, well-designed printed materials remain an effective way to communicate event schedules, brand stories or promotions. Brochures and leaflets give attendees something tangible to remember your brand by.

Great for:

• Schedules & site maps
• Special offers
• Brand storytelling

6. Custom Tote Bags

Tote bags are a crowd favourite - practical, stylish and perfect for carrying event swag. Plus, your branding will be seen long after the event is over.

Consider:

• Branded cotton bags
• Bold designs for visibility
• Useful content like maps, coupons or water bottles

7. Promotional Giveaways

Freebies are always a hit! Small, branded items like lanyards, sunglasses, hand fans or foldable cups are practical during summer and help keep your brand top of mind.

Summer favourites:

• Branded Coasters
• Creative Umbrellas
• Custom pop sockets
