GalleryBoard packaging featured in PPB's Office Products Showcase

The Platform Group Gallerys - GalleryBoard Packaging line is featured in PPB's August Product Showcase entitled OFFICE SPACE.

With the mountain of office supplies workers need at their fingertips, desktop real estate is highly coveted. Promotional products that make a bold, personal statement and are space efficient, multi-functional and well designed will obtain this premium office space.

Low-tech, flexible items with universal appeal, such as storage containers, are also hot items.

“Nobody works the same way anymore,” says Allison Gower, president of The Platform Group Gallery " Don’t overlook packaging when putting together office supply promotions. When carefully chosen, imprinted packages can have a second life holding office supplies and personal items, and they may be more likely to stay in public view.

“We do foam inserts designed for secondary use so the advertiser gets stickier, longer-lasting exposure,” Gower explains. “Hanging file boxes, magazine files, CD files, boxes...the concept of office and desktop storage has changed so much. These boxes are colorful, bright and logo-printed. They’re not going to be thrown away.”
