I am a big supporter of any manufacturing business that keeps it’s doors open in the US rather than shipping jobs off shore to cheaper supplies of labor in the third world.  OTCO Industrial Sewing is one such company.  Founded in 1988, it became a family owned business in 2003 and is head quartered in Fond du Lac.  They specialise in custom bags for commercial purposes, such as night deposit cash bags and inter-office mail bags.  It’s easy to tailor the specifications to your individual needs - just visit their website and fill in the online form, or contact them directly. 

Mailbags are constructed from recycled and environmentally friendly materials that stand up to long term wear and tear and feature high security locks which can be keyed individually or keyed separately for greater security and peace of mind.  Choose from canvas, laminated nylon, 1000 D. Cordura or Expanded Vinyl. 

Zippered bags can also be made to your customised specifications.  Use them for bank deposits, petty cash, courier deliveries, paper work, office supplies and more.  Use a colour coding system as a great way to keep yourself organised.  These bags are made of top grade fabrics such as 10oz. canvas, laminated nylon, 1000 D. Cordura, Expanded Vinyl, clear vinyl or a fabric of your own choosing.

Transit bags, also called courier bags, are generally water repellant and provide an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic bags or paper envelopes. Reusable fabric bags can be used over and over for inter-office mail.

At work recently we gave a small trophy to someone who came up with a new marketing slogan. It was a tiny replica of Rodin’s sculpture called ‘The Thinker’ with their name and slogan inscribed on the base.  It only cost a few dollars but holds pride of place on the recipients desk. People like mementos and commemorative items – they are our memories and milestones.

There are a lot of fun things you can do with trophies. Present one to the Bachelorette at a Bachelorette party, give one to a friend who has achieved something special like running their first marathon or getting through chemo.

When you think of trophies, you probably think of your brother’s football trophies or your dad’s fishing trophies.  My mechanic has a huge fish stuffed and mounted on the wall of his office! They really seem to be something linked with sport in most people’s minds and generally shaped like a giant cup with handles. That’s not always the case!

Trophies can be inscribed with any wording you like and topped with any statue or shape that you desire. . Trophies can be in the form of a column, the shape of a football or topped with a dancer.

Instead of the traditional trophy style, corporate awards can be tasteful items like desk sets and clocks. Corporate plaques are often made from Perspex or glass in order to blend in with any décor. So if you need to think of a unique gift to commemorate any special occasion, take a fresh look at trophies.
