Choosing Bar and Restaurant Promos: Matchbooks vs Matchboxes
Custom matches are one of the most classic and highly collectible promotional items in the hospitality industry. Patrons love taking them home as souvenirs from an incredible dinner or a fun night out at a high-end bar. When placing an order for your venue, you must choose between the traditional Matchbook and the premium Matchbox.
The Tradition of the Matchbook
The matchbook is the standard, classic giveaway for diners and local dive bars.
- The Build: It features a row of tear-away paper matches securely folded inside a custom-printed paper cover.
- The Benefit: They are incredibly cheap to produce in massive bulk quantities and slip easily into a customer’s back pocket.
The Prestige of the Matchbox
A matchbox provides a significantly more elevated and luxurious tactile experience.
- The Build: It features sturdy wooden matches housed inside a rigid, sliding cardboard box.
- The Vibe: It feels substantial, nostalgic, and sophisticated in the hand.
