This year’s Pen To Paper goody bag includes the following: Sealed Air Mail Lite Roundtrip Protective packaging company Sealed Air is providing D1-size samples of its Mail Lite Round Trip, a cushioned protective mailer for both outbound & inbound shipments. Lined with AirCap bubble material for high performance cushioning, the mailer offers outstanding product protection. It provides an efficient solution by reducing the risk of product damage, optimising cube size, increasing productivity and enhancing the customer experience. Ideal for product returns, the mailer features two seals for easy re-use. www.sealedair.com edding 7 mini highlighter edding is giving away samples of its super- small edding 7 mini highlighter. The highlighter is available in five bright neon colours (yellow, orange, green, pink, blue) and features a non-slip ergonomic grip for comfortable highlighting. The removable cap (with clip) fits neatly onto the other end of the pen, almost doubling the mini highlighter’s length. The mini- format is especially suitable for children and teens, but its small size is just as likely to be welcomed by people working on the go. Traditional highlighters are bulky, making it difficult to carry several colours at the same time, but these highlighters will fit easily into small bags, pencil cases or a pocket. www.edding.com Premier Paper Woodland Trust Office Paper Premier Paper is providing sample packs of its Woodland Trust Office Paper, a high white, totally chlorine-free office paper for laser and inkjet printers, photocopiers and fax machines.
