Military & Defense Promotional Items

Military and Defense Swag for Defense Contractors

Defense contractors work a full calendar: industry trade shows, base and installation events, veteran hiring fairs, family days and program milestones. The audience is service members, program managers and engineers who have carried challenge coins and dog tags for years, so the giveaway has to speak their language and still carry your company name.

This store gathers the items that do: die cast and die struck challenge coins, metal dog tags on chains, Pelican and Mag-Lite flashlights, tactical backpacks and multi-tools, camo and digital camo bags, coolers and knives, and military shapes from tanks and submarines to fighter jets and grenades. PromotionsNow sends free samples to businesses and organizations so buyers can compare military and defense giveaways before ordering.

Common Questions About Military and Defense Promotional Items

What are good giveaway ideas for a defense industry trade show?
Challenge coins with your company seal, tactical flashlights, metal dog tags, camo drawstring backpacks and tank or fighter jet pens all pull a crowd of uniformed and civilian visitors. Many contractors keep pens, dog tags and stress relievers at the front of the booth and save coins and flashlights for qualified conversations. Pick several, request free samples, and have them on the table for the planning meeting.

Can we get samples before the business development team picks a giveaway?
Yes, and you do not have to pick one first. Choose several, from challenge coins to camo duffels, and add them to the sample basket from any product page, or call 800.378.6376. They arrive organized and packaged, so you can lay them out at the BD or capture meeting and let the team compare. Free samples ship to a business or organization address.

Are there limits on giving promotional items to government customers?
Federal employees generally may accept only items of modest value, which is why many contractors hand out pens, dog tags and stress relievers at shows. Check with your ethics or compliance office before the event, and save higher value pieces like coins and flashlights for your own employees, recruits and program teams.

What works for veteran hiring events and family days?
Metal dog tags, camo drawstring backpacks and digital camo ID holders suit recruiting tables. For family days, the Military Family Readiness Organizer helps spouses keep paperwork in one place, and camo plush bears and army man stress relievers are a hit with kids.

Can we put our company seal or program name on challenge coins?
Yes. Custom challenge coins are made to your design in die cast zinc or die struck brass, in 1-1/2 inch and 2 inch sizes, for program milestones, contract wins and employee recognition. Coins take longer than printed items, so start early and call 800.378.6376 with your event date.
