Top Promotional Items for National UV Safety Month

July is National UV Safety Month, which is a time to raise awareness about the dangers of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and how to protect yourself from the harmful effects. For businesses and organizations, awareness opportunities are great opportunities to align your brand with health, wellness, and summertime activities. Whether you're promoting outdoor events, beach safety, or healthy lifestyles, Perfect Imprints offers a range of custom products that help protect your customers while keeping your brand in the spotlight.

Around 90% of skin cancers worldwide are attributed to excess UV exposure.1 Since skin cancer is largely preventable, let's use our promotional giveaways to not only promote our businesses but also benefit the recipients.2

Here are our top promotional picks to help protect your clients from UV exposure and bring awareness for National UV Safety Month:

1. Custom Sunglasses With UV400 Protection

Sunglasses aren't just stylish, they're essential. Choose from dozens of frame colors and lens types, all printable with your logo. Many shoppers by default look for polarized sunglasses, but polarization offers no protection from UV rays. When buying promotional sunglasses, make sure you opt for shades that offer UV400 protection! UV400 offers 100% protection from UVA and UVB rays.3 These are perfect, affordable promos for summer festivals, company picnics, or giveaway campaigns. Shop all of our sunglasses here.

2. Promotional Sunscreen

Branded sunscreen is one of the most practical summer giveaways. From single-use pouches to full-size bottles with carabiner clips, you can provide protection your customers will carry all season. We also have plenty of options to support Made in the USA sunscreen!

3. Custom Lip Balm with SPF

Chapped lips are the worst! Burned lips? Even worse. Branded lip balm with SPF is a compact giveaway that's perfect for healthcare providers, resorts, boat rental companies, and other outdoor brands.

4. UPF 50 Hats

Hats and apparel with a UPF 50 rating indicate that they block 98% of the sun's UVB and UVA rays from reaching your skin.4 Offer customers extra protection with UPF 50 custom headwear. From baseball caps to wide-brim bucket hats, these items provide both UV defense and high visibility for your logo.​

5. Cooling Towels

Cooling towels are popular for outdoor events and fitness promotions. Not only do they help wearers stay cool, but they are worn around the neck, protecting the back of the neck from the sun.

6. Custom Beach Umbrellas

Offer serious shade with branded beach umbrellas. These eye-catching promo items are great for corporate outings, hotels, and giveaways at summer trade shows. These giant umbrellas allow beachgoers to stay out all day and stay protected.

7. UPF 50 T-Shirts

The sun can penetrate your t-shirts to not only burn you but also expose your excess harmful UV rays. Shirt color, fit, material, and Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) rating all matter when buying shirts that offer sun protection.5

National UV Safety Month is a chance to connect your brand to wellness, fun, and outdoor activity. These promotional items aren't just useful; they also show that your company cares about customer safety. Let Perfect Imprints help you create a custom summer campaign that shines and protects.
