Sustainable cork promotional products with a logo

Cork is known for its versatile properties. The material is elastic and dense. No wonder cork has been used as a bottle stopper since antiquity. But cork is much more than just a “cork”. It can be made into environmentally friendly alternatives for jewellery, clothes, furniture and, yes, sustainable promotional products too. In this post you will find the best cork promotional gifts that can be branded with your logo.

What actually is cork?

The term “cork” refers to a material obtained from the bark of the cork oak. The cork oak is at home in southern countries such as Portugal (the world's largest producer of cork). To harvest natural cork the tree is not felled — it is stripped. The tree comes to no harm; it lives on and forms new bark sustainably and naturally. Cork is therefore a natural and ecological material that grows back.

Below we have listed the best promotional products made of cork. Let our selection of cork promotional gifts made in Europe inspire you.

Cork yoga mat

The feather-light yoga mat is made of 100% sustainable, fairly produced natural cork and is a wonderfully soft surface for sport. Doing yoga or other exercises on a mat made sustainably and fairly from a natural product is that bit more enjoyable and encourages you to keep moving regularly! The yoga mat is perfect as a sustainable promotional gift and personalises beautifully with your logo. Leave a sustainable, sporting impression with your clients and employees.

Cork notebook

The notebook is a real classic among promotional products. But why always leather or imitation leather when cork, which grows back, works just as well? The cork notebook is made by hand in a traditional Portuguese workshop, exclusively, fairly and sustainably. A very beautiful and personal giveaway that stays with you for a long time.

Cork umbrella

On a grey, rainy day above all, umbrellas are the best companions. Sustainable materials are increasingly replacing plastic for umbrella canopies. Cork from Portugal, 100% natural, is one of them. The material is water-repellent and is therefore perfect for an umbrella canopy. The cork umbrella is also a real eye-catcher and takes your logo and branding beautifully. A promotional product with a big effect and great everyday use.

Cork shopping bag

The cork shopping bag brings your shopping home safely and in style, without having to buy a plastic bag. The unique look of cork and the practical design in various sizes make the shopping bag an eye-catcher. Cork feels soft and is similar to suede to the touch — with the difference that no animal suffers for it. Reason enough to include the cork shopping bag in our top cork promotional products.

Cork backpack

Who does not enjoy being out in nature, and with sustainable kit at that? The backpack made of ecological cork is a statement and a practical companion for everyday life and for trips. Flexible and durable, these backpacks offer plenty of space and look really cool as well. As the material is water-repellent, whatever you pack stays dry. In our view a very cool promotional gift, and not only for hiking fanatics.

Cork hat

Caps and bucket hats made of cork are the perfect addition to sustainable clothing. They not only look exclusive, they also protect the wearer from strong sunshine. The versatile models leave no taste unserved and are a great alternative to hats and caps made of leather. A practical promotional gift on which your brand can be printed or engraved perfectly.

Cork bum bag

The bum bag made of natural cork, soft to the touch, is water-repellent, 100% vegan and perfect for travelling. The zip makes it easy to close. The cork bag is feather-light and yet hard-wearing. The generous compartment has room for wallets, smartphones, keyrings and much more. As a promotional product these personalisable cork bum bags really catch the eye and will certainly leave a lasting impression with your customers or employees.

Cork mouse pad

Every office or home office needs a computer mouse. And where a mouse is needed, a mouse pad is an advantage. This mouse pad is made of 100% natural cork, harvested and processed in Portugal. Cork has a smooth and very pleasant structure that makes working at the computer considerably easier. Another promotional product classic — in a sustainable, cool version.

Cork hot pads

Hot pads made of natural cork protect tables and worktops perfectly and give heat rings no chance. Natural cork has excellent insulating properties, so dishes and pans can be placed on the hot pads straight from the hob or the oven without damaging the surfaces. With your branding, definitely a very practical giveaway for every household!

Cork office organiser

Everyone knows the feeling: you want to get on with your work, but the mess on the desk makes it impossible to concentrate and you cannot find your things in the chaos. An office organiser — made of cork, of course — is the right answer for getting back into the flow.

Cork wallet

The various cork wallet models have room for coins, notes, credit cards and everything else that has to come along. Cork fabric is very sturdy, tear-resistant, water-repellent and particularly light. Our various cool designs are timeless and suit almost every taste. With this sustainable promotional gift you can hardly go wrong!
