Lip Balm & Lip Gloss

The Year Round Volume Handout

Lip balm is the item a department can order once and hand out at everything: a parade in July, a fair in September, a school visit in February. It works in every season, adults and kids both take one, and it survives a coat pocket and a glove box for months with your name facing out. When an event calendar has a dozen dates on it and one purchase order to cover them, this is usually the answer.

One Order, a Dozen Dates

Most departments are not buying for one event. They are buying for a calendar: a parade, two fairs, a stack of school visits and an open house. The plain tube is what covers that, because it stores on a shelf between dates and costs the least per unit at the counts a year requires. Keep a smaller run of SPF versions for the summer dates and a run of minis for the tightest goodie bags.

Common Questions

What lip balm covers a whole year of events?

A plain tube with a full color wrap. It stores well between dates, carries the biggest print area, and costs the least per unit once the count runs into the thousands.

Do you have lip balm with SPF for summer events?

Yes, in SPF 15 and SPF 30 broad spectrum. Some items also pair a balm with a separate sun stick, which is the better choice for a parade route or an outdoor detail.

What fits on the tube?

A full color wrap carries your department name, your patch or seal, a short safety line and a non-emergency number without crowding. We will proof it before anything runs.
