You could also be traveling on a bus or train and be in need of a sleep mask as well, which is why this is a useful item to add onto your travel essentials list.

Organizers

This category is a bit broad, and for good reason. Organization while traveling usually consists of toiletry bags, cosmetic bags, technology bags, etc. These different types of zipped bags are a great way to stay organized during a business trip. Having organization and travel accessories make airport security a breeze. No more digging through carry-on luggage for toiletries.

With everything organized in the pouch, you can simply remove the bag from your luggage and place it on the security conveyer belt. The same goes for technology, with business trips technology can get a bit muddled all over the place. By having everything organized it creates a seamless walk through for TSA and for you.

The exposure for these promotional travel essentials is exceptional. Again, the personalization on these can be as excessive or subtle as you please. When all the pouches are placed on the conveyer belt at security everyone takes notice and will see your great organized travel pieces.

Wallets/Cases

RFID has become the norm for all travel purposes. Especially when traveling abroad a person can never be too careful. The RFID feature protects the contents inside your wallet from being attacked by malicious readers.

Traveling can become stressful with passports, documents, tickets, and identification floating around everything. By having a travel wallet, the stress of losing a document is greatly reduced.

Some travelers take their document safety to another level by having a lanyard and pouch with their documents inside. This is another route to go in terms of branded wallets.

Other documents like Passport covers are also incredibly helpful. Promote any of these items with your brand to have great travel exposure as well as exceptional promotional gifts.

Travel Mugs

Don’t want to stop and have to wait in line for coffee? Grab a travel mug and be good to go! When traveling by train or car the travel mug is ideal for reducing times you have to stop or get up.

Besides being eco-friendly, travel mugs are a great way to keep up your energy when traveling. Often traveling bogs must of us down and people end up getting drowsy or jetlagged.

Charging Cables/Portable Charger

Technology is an import aspect of traveling nowadays. Most people traveling for business carry a laptop bag so that they can work in-between or while waiting for flights. Another great item to produce for travel is charging cables.

Plugging anything in at the airport can be a huge hassle. Airports are trying to get better with their accessibility to charging stations, however, even with the stations, you end up in a smushed position on the floor.

By having a portable charger it allows you to stay comfortable and keep working. Another great item is a technology converter. If you travel frequently abroad, you’ll know about how hard it is sometimes with outlet converters. Everything will need a converter in order to be charged. This creates complications, especially if you’re not prepared.

Here’s one of Inspire’s many power banks and portable chargers.

Lip Balm and Travel Toothbrush

Sometimes it’s the simple things that really make or break traveling. A travel toothbrush is a perfect item to give out. Everybody needs one and often don’t have one.

The worst feeling is arriving at a hotel after traveling and discovering you didn’t pack your toothbrush. Don’t let that happen to you! Add the travel toothbrush to your essential list and never have to suffer through that panic again.

Even by just providing a tube of lip balm value is added to a traveling experience. Even an item like hand sanitizers or a pill case would be an excellent addition to any trip. These small essentials can be some of the most important items to people during their trips.

Duffel Bags or Backpacks

Often considered an essential for traveling. Duffel bags are the perfect carry on item to stick overhead. Coming in several different sizes and colors the options for choosing a duffel are vast. These promotional luggage pieces create a great gift to give to any client or employee.
