If there is one shape that I know will be asked for regularly year in and year out,Grenade Shaped Stress Balls - An in Depth Look at These Popular Promotional Stress Balls  Articles it is the grenade shaped stress ball. These popular business gifts look like real grenades. They are both eye-catching and low cost which is a great combination when it comes to getting your brand out and about. These stress balls will get people talking about your business and they are also a time tested means of attracting people to your trade show stand. Here I would like to tell give you the information you need to use these popular stress balls for promoting your business.

All stress ball shapes can be manufactured in the colours of your choice. The grenade normally comes in dark green but if you have a few weeks before you need them, the sky's the limit. You could have them in bright pink if you want to.

That said, if you choose a dark colour like the standard green of the grenade, you will want to ensure that your supplier can transfer print them for you. There are two ways of printing stress balls: pad printing and transfer printing. Pad printing is done by most business gifts suppliers but this is far inferior to transfer printing. With transfer printing, you can match your company colours even on dark backgrounds. You can also print in full colour which looks spectacular.

The standard grenade size is 50mm x 50mm x 90mm and has a print area of 35mm x 12mm. This should be enough space for a logo and a few lines of text such as a strapline, website and contact telephone number. Let me reemphasize that you will be much happier with the results if you insist on transfer printing especially in such a small print area.

There is also another version of this stress shape that vibrates when a string is pulled. Generally, I tend to steer my customers away from this model. It is a lot more expensive and it is not as swishy because the motor that makes the grenade vibrate sits right in the middle of the stress shape. The string often comes loose as well. I am not trying to discourage you from ordering vibrating stress balls of any shape but it is good to know the facts before you do. If, for example you want to make a big bang at your next trade show, vibrating grenade stress relievers could be just the ticket.
