Promotional Paper Weights & Branded Paper Weights - Keep Your Paper On Your Desk in Style
Paperweights have a great fascination for many people. In fact, paperweights are one of the most collectible of items. Perhaps it is the weight and feel of a good paperweight, whatever the reason, paperweights make excellent gifts and even better
promotional products. Easily customised, they will show off any brand or logo to perfection.
Paperweights are of course designed to do exactly what their name suggests, to weight down paper. In offices before air-conditioning became common and where open windows were not unusual, such a tool was of practical value. Nowadays, in the artificial environments where most of us work, fear of sudden draughts is less. Nevertheless, the paperweight continues to hold a fascination. Particularly when the paperweight has such remarkable characteristics as the
Magic Sand Paperweight. That’s right, your name or logo will magically reappear in the sand no matter how many times it is shaken. A great talking point and a great way to represent your company brand.
The term paperweight is sometimes used to refer to anything that is broken beyond repair and so useless for its original purpose, can now only be used as a paperweight. Despite this disparaging use, paperweights are often made of fine quality materials and designed with such care that they have become works of art that are collected as objects of beauty. While such collecting is unlikely for the
Flowing Liquid Paperweight, it is an item that will catch the eye, and it is as an eye catcher that it represents an excellent opportunity for those seeking to impress their logo on their customers.
The earliest of purpose made paperweights were simple items of metal or glass, but by the 1840s an industry emerged in France that transformed the simple paperweight into a work of art. French glass factories began to enclose decorative motifs within glass spheres, taking advantage of the magnification effect of this to create their artistic paperweights. Unlike most production, the manufacture of paperweights actually went from mass produced factory dominated production to a more individualistic, small scale production as progressing techniques allowed glass to be made more easily outside the large factories.
While every paperweight available here may not be a collectors item that does not mean they are not excellent promotional items that will not do the job of promoting your company brand or logo. So do not miss the excellent choices to be found in our paperweight collection.
