Sheet metal fabrication of corporate gifts is excellent for long term brand recognition because you can offer something unique and special that is different to the standard corporate gifts people receive. If you open your desk drawer at work you will probably find a USB stick or a plug adapter with the logo and branding of a bank or other business on the side, but you might not remember where it came from. High quality sheet metal corporate gifts provide a lasting, memorable way to promote your brand identity.
What makes a good corporate gift
Different industries use a wide range of products as corporate gifts to attract clients and start conversations. In the past a lot of them were made of plastics or consumable items, not meant to last the test of time. Most corporate gifts tend to be of limited value or use, and are quickly forgotten. In the worst case a poor quality corporate gift reflects badly on corporate identity. The alternative is to produce a good, high quality, durable corporate gift that your clients and potential customers will appreciate.
- A good corporate gift should be genuinely useful
- You can make a statement to your clients by giving them a high profile, thoughtful gift
- Small, portable corporate gifts enable people to keep your branded gift with them
- Avoid making corporate gifts of things like knives and clothing that can be inappropriate in certain countries.
- You can use a corporate gift to make a lasting memory of a product launch or specific event.
Do something different from standard USB stick and plug adapter corporate gifts
People who travel a lot for work often find USB sticks and international plug adapters useful, but these have become a very common type of gift that can give the impression that you are not making an effort to surprise and reward your customer. In today’s highly competitive global economy, giving an unusual or different type of gift is a way to get yourself noticed rather than seeming to be just the same as all the other companies in your market and sector.

Celebrating a specific product launch or corporate event with an inscribed, painted or laser cut sheet metal fabricated gift raises the perceived value of both the event and your brand in a way that cannot be achieved with standard mass-produced gifts.
What are the benefits of sheet metal fabrication for corporate gifts?
The benefits of steel metal fabrication for corporate gifts come from three characteristics of sheet metal fabrication. Sheet metal fabrication enables you to make customized corporate gifts of almost any size and shape, with very high durability and permanence. This gives your customer a positive impression of your business, and this is helped by the ease with which sheet metal gifts can be given special finishes, laser cut detailing, printed, painted and embossed logos, artwork and messages.
- Durable sheet metal gifts can be treated with decorative coatings and detailing that will far outlast any other type of corporate gift, retaining a clear and attractive appearance for longer.
- Many people today prefer metal to plastic for environmental reasons
- You can achieve a higher quality finish on metal surfaces than you can on other products
- Modern CAD aided sheet metal fabrication enables a client to order relatively small numbers of gifts that can be fabricated cost-effectively in batches as they are required.
High quality sheet metal corporate gifts work well for companies that want to develop a reputation for precision, quality and reliability. As an example, an engineering firm can use a precision-made sheet metal gift as a way of demonstrating their commitment to quality and expertise in their engineering practices. It is also possible to make sheet metal miniatures and artwork that are directly related to your corporate products, providing an attractive reminder of both who you are and what you do.
