Corporate logo golf balls as collectables

Logo golf balls are not just a great way to market your company in the short term, for one off events of marketing tools that make a great gift.

You might not appreciate it at first, but if your company has a cool motto, a smart logo, or a bright future, you could be creating a future collectable when you design your logo golf ball.

This could be by accident, but if you give a little thought, why not theme your corporate logo golf balls, maybe special editions for special occasions or a limited number produced with a special design each year. Who really knows what the magic formula is for the ideal collectable golf ball, but one thing is for sure, if you get it right, people will want them.

Take a look at our Golf Ball Store and you will see many advertisements for other companies golf balls, some going for not inconsiderable prices! Imagine if people were bidding over a ball with your company name or logo on them? Very cool.

Why choose corporate logo golf balls?

There are many ways to promote your business, many incentives you can offer your staff, and many cross-promotional opportunities available to your company, so why would you chose to purchase corporate logo golf balls above all others?

For a start, golf is an extremely popular game around the world, so there’s a good chance that even if the person who receives your specially printed golf ball doesn’t play themselves, someone in their group of colleagues or associates will do. So your corporate gift or little piece of clever PR wont sit in a office drawer unused. Your company logo will be out there “in the wild”.

If you come up with a clever, creative design or logo, the people who receive your golf balls will be far from the only person to see it. Golfing is a social sport, and golfers talk to each other. Your golf ball may well be shown off among a group of executives who may just be wanting to target. How’s that for added value!?

Now those things are nice, but lets be honest, business is business, and this is where corporate logo golf balls come into their own. Not only do they look good and go a long way, they’re very inexpensive. When you consider the opportunities to use this little piece of publicity gold, the investment to you or your company is relatively minor, and that’s got to be a good thing!

But that said, it does pay to not skimp when choosing a supplier for your company golf balls. You don’t want your logo to vanish after a few round of golf, you want the image to last, the image on that ball directly reflects the image of your company, so don’t skimp. Get a reputable supplier for your golf ball printing and you should avoid disappointment.

Not only can logo golf balls be a good gift for clients, they can also be given away free, maybe in competitions or even as part of an agreement with a local golf course where you know high flying executives go for a game. You never know, they may seek you out if they have a good round of golf, but don’t blame us if they have a stinker and end up blaming you for that instead!

There are many good reasons to make a relatively small investment in Corporate Logo Golf Balls, so it’s certainly worth considering as a great, affordable source of good PR.

Ball for your logo, or a logo for your ball

We recently came across an interesting article which may be of interest to our corporate visitors and business men out there.

The piece comes from design blog graphicPUSH, which is talking about logo design in general and focuses, strangely you may think, on the application of brand logos onto corporate golf balls.

Corporate golf balls are a popular gift, they’re affordable, they’re unique and they somehow paint a positive view of your company by association with a great outdoor past time, however, if your logo isn’t up to scratch it may be a waste of your time and money to get some golf balls printed, will people be able to tell what it is?

“The golf ball test” is something blindingly obvious that is apparently handed down from the design old guard, whereby if your company logo doesn’t look good on a golf ball, your logo probably isn’t that good at all. The idea being that larger, more successful companies tend to keep it simple, means their logos look as clear outside their company headquarters, as they do lying on a tiny spherical object on the 18th green (or under a tree in the rough if your golf game is anything like ours).

This old school logic is actually more relevant now than ever before, with more forms of media coming up all the time, logo designs need to be flexible, simple, and strong. Which is a REAL design challenge.

So there you have it, if your Corporate Logo Golf Balls don’t look as wonderful as you thought they should do, maybe it’s the fault of your corporate logo, not the printer or the ball itself!

Non corporate logo golf balls

So you want to purchase a logo golf ball, but maybe not for corporate reasons. You’re far from alone!

You may want a gift for a partner who’s golf crazy, but being a golf obsessive they probably already have just about every imaginable golf accessory under the sun, twice! You’ve done the fun stuff like the books of golf jokes, the ‘amusing’ golf club head covers, personalised golf markers, shirts, shoes….

Surely the ultimate gift is personalized golf balls? They can carry any message you like, even full colour images and photographs, you can buy them in presentation gift packs, they’re something which the avid golfer will be constantly looking at. Hey, maybe a photo of you, the golf widow, emblazoned on your other half’s golf balls might actually tempt them away from the 19th hole a little quicker as they wont forget just what they’re missing at home?!

The choices in golf ball personalization is almost unlimited now, but when choosing your perosnalized printed golf gifts, be sure to take your time, and not only consider the cost, but the reputation of the company and printing methods employed.

So you see, logo golf balls are not just for big corporations to dish out on company jollies (aka ‘team building’ or ‘networking’ sessions, yeah right), they can be a real personalized and meaningful gift for a loved one or close friend.

Different printing methods for Corporate Logo Golf Balls

There are two different techniques most commonly employed for printing corporate logo golf balls and other novelty golf ball prints.

The first, most common and more traditional printing method employed in the production of logo golf balls is called pad printing. Pad printing is actually a very well established printing technique and yet is still widely regarded as the best way to print onto the surface of a golf ball, for several reasons.

With pad printing, there are three important components, the pad (from which the process takes its name), ink and cliché.

The cliché is constructed from either steel or a hard wood polymer, and configured with the design etched less than 25 micrometres into it. This acts as a type of reservoir which holds the ink to be applied to your blank golf ball. The pad, which is usually silicone rubber, presses against the surface of the cliché, and then transfers the design from the cliché to the golf ball by pressing against it.

The printing method is in theory very simple, almost like a stamping process, however the results are consistent and assuming carried out professionally very hard wearing, which is of course important if you actually intend to play golf with your lovely new balls.

The second printing method which can also be employed in the production of corporate logo golf balls is digital printing. Digital printing is more versatile and flexible in the type of design which can be applied, however you will want to be sure that the printing company are using a specialist golf ball printing kit, and are using hard wearing oil based ink.

Even with every precaution taken, digital printing simply doesn’t produce results as long lasting as pad printing will do, so if you’re giving these as a corporate gift to clients to employees, then you will most likely not want to skimp on the printing process, or you could end up having your company logo disappearing from your clients balls after only a few rounds of golf. Remember it is quite literally your companies image at stake!
