Project Debrief - Five Guys Summer Merchandise

We recently produced a large summer merch pack for the well-known fast-food chain, Five Guys. They specialise in freshly prepared hot dogs, burgers and fries. Classic all-American food from a growing fast-food chain. Our team here at Totally Branded, we worked to produce branded merchandise for their summer themed event.

The Story of Five Guys

The story begins in Arlington, Virginia. The year was 1986. Jerry and Janie Murrell gave their 5 young sons a choice. “We start a family business, or you can go to college.” They chose to go into business, and thus, Five Guys was born! Named after the 5 sons Jim, Matt, Chad, Ben and Tyler, and they opened their first restaurant Arlington's Westmont Shopping Center.

Over the last 36 years, the business has gone from strength to strength, spreading across the globe. All the way from the USA and Canada to the UK, Europe and beyond!

Our Project Brief from Five Guys

We were asked to produce a summer merch pack for the company, and used our product knowledge to help them choose the right products for the job. The pack included a Five Guys branded beach bag, as towel and a water bottle so that Five Guys employees can go to the beach in style this summer. On a separate order the company wanted some extras for their summer packs and chose branded beach balls and branded hand held fans.

Beach Bag

This promotional beach bag is perfect for summer events or work days out by the sea. Its spacious enough that it holds all your stuff, but will sit comfortably on your shoulder or in your hands with the rope handles. It’s a minimalist, sleek looking bag with a print on just one side either done digitally or via screen print. Our bag for Five Guys came in red with the five guys logo printed on it. It can be delivered in as little as 10 days which makes it a great product to get in now!

Branded Water Bottle

Our customer wanted branded water bottles as part of their summer pack, which is a great way to help keep people hydrated especially when the sun out! They decided on a red branded Banham Water Bottle because its lightweight but functional which is also BPA and PVC free! The bottle itself is transparent with a coloured lid and a matching logo on either one or two sides of the bottle. Including its fold down straw, this Tritan plastic bottle is great for those who are on the move and has a capacity of 725ml.

Towel

Our range of branded towels are great for portability and drying quickly, making any of them ideal for travelling as they fold down nice and small. They come in a range of colours like black, white, blue and more. Our customer opted for a black with a red embroidered design and a red towel with a white embroidered design. They were all expertly embroidered in-house by our embroidery team. Check out the "Sol's Atoll 30 Microfibre Guest Towel"

Branded Beach Ball

We have a range of beachballs, all of which are made from PVC so you know they’ll hold up on the beach! Perfect for throwing around with colleagues or friends in the sand. The popular summer item "Zeusty Beach Ball" comes in a range of colours, with alternating panels of white. The beach ball we created for Five Guys was white and red with their branding on it. It was the perfect match with their other summer themed promotional products.
