Bandannas: The Perfect Patriotic Promotional Accessory

Jun 18, 2023

The summertime is the perfect time for barbecues, backyard games, and family-and-friend festivities. Many of these events kick into high gear as the month of July, and the Fourth of July holiday in particular, approaches. Festivals, concerts, and outdoor events are also in full swing in celebration of the warm summer months. For anyone looking to celebrate Independence Day, and even for those who are simply patriotic year-round, the need to display their passion is strong.

For banks, local businesses such as real estate and insurance agents, community events held by local governments, and more, this is the right time to crank up the patriotic promotional products offerings. But don't let your clients settle for just a traditional baseball cap or mug. Instead, bring on a line of patriotic-inspired bandannas to really wow them. Perfect as stand-alone items or as part of a kit, bandannas from Bandanna Promotions by Caro-line come in a variety of sizes and styles.

Plus, the company's American-made manufacturing options sweeten add to the feelings of patriotism. Here's what to expect when you partner with Bandanna Promotions for your patriotic swag needs.

Distributors won't find just one or two bandanna options printed with red, white, and blue from Bandanna Promotions. Instead, they’ll find a long list of novelty bandannas under the patriotic theme. Here is a list of what the company offers:

With so many options, every customer will be able to find something that suits their promotional campaign tastes. These bandannas are available in the 22x22" size, and your artwork will be screen printed using an overprint on the existing designs.

This is a crucial point to consider. If your clients want larger-than-life bandannas, Bandanna Promotions’ screen-printing method is the way to go. It offers the largest imprint area of all the methods. And when it comes to the patriotic theme, being larger than life is the only way to go! Note that this printing method does not allow for edge-to-edge printing. All designs must have a border (for example, when starting with a blank 22" bandanna, the imprint size will be 18x18").

Want to elevate your game even more? Make sure clients are not only outfitting their customers in red-white-and-blue swag, but their four-legged friends as well. People love to accessorize their pets with the coolest new accessories and pet triangle bandannas are no exception.

Take any of Bandanna Promotions’ patriotic designs and order as a pet triangle. These will be printed using an overprint design on the existing pattern on the bandannas.

For real estate agents, why not offer matching sets to give to pets and owners to wear during that Fourth of July backyard barbecue? Pet-friendly breweries with outdoor seating can offer limited-edition swag for their clients in July and throughout the year. The point here is that the possibilities are endless.

By choosing one of Bandanna Promotions’ patriotic USA-made bandannas for your promotional needs, you’ll be supporting an American-owned business!

In 1946, Malcolm P. "Mack" Niven founded Greenville, South Carolina-based Carolina Manufacturing, and now over 75 years later, Bandanna Promotions by Caro-line is the leading bandanna manufacturer in the U.S.

"The bandanna is truly an American staple wearable accessory — that's why we take such pride as being USA-made to carry on this important fashion iconic tradition for the promotional product industry," says Scott Thackston, director of marketing and product development. "Along with the important legacy aspect, USA-made gives Bandanna Promotions by Caro-Line a key strategic advantage over import bandannas and Pet Swag-Wag Promotions, with a very fast production timeline to meet in-hands dates."

Thackston adds that the company's four in-house imprinting methods — silk screen, digital (dye-sublimation and direct-to-fabric), rotary (industry exclusive - PMS match dyed), and duplex (proprietary - the only two-sided custom color dyed and imprinted bandanna in the world) sweeten the American-made deal.

"This double-down on the patriotic mindset is extremely important to a large chunk of today's consumers," he notes. "They want to know that those they do business with are ethical and reliable. By offering patriotic-theme bandannas to all your clients, most of which are made in the USA, you show that you care about their personal interests, too."

These items are great for support groups, nonprofits, and hospitals that serve veterans. Or perhaps there's a veteran-owned local pet supply shop that needs some promotional products to hand out to clients. Whatever the use, whoever the client, promotional products distributors can count on Bandanna Promotions to be their made-in-the-USA supplier for these unique patriotic items. These items not only stand out in a crowd, but by utilizing the patriotic theme, they are sure to make an impact for your client.

Thackston points out that these serve as branding tools for events, festivals, concerts, sporting events, fairs, carnivals, and fireworks displays.

"Today's consumers are looking for a custom personalized experience with their promotional product offerings," he concludes. "What better way to offer bandannas as an artistic branding canvas to create a unique stylish look for each promotional campaign's impactful ROI success. Almost all of your customers have sponsorship and co-branding opportunities in their communities to national audiences."
