What are Thundersticks ? The classic thundersticks are made of two inflatable sticks that supporters can bang together to make noise in stadiums during sport events.
The sticks are supplied with a small opening and the user can inflate them easily. Of course sponsor or club logos and slogans can be printed on both sides of the item. Just picture 10 000 supporters baning these sticks together, it makes terrific noise! And if the event is shown on television, it's a nice TV ad, free of charge.

Now as important Rugby events are approching lets have a look at the Rugby sticks shown in the picture. The idea is slightly different here : these stick are used for waving. So the effect is more visual than sound. Neverthless, if required they can also be supplied with small plastic beads inside to create a funny, maracas-like sound

The product is sold under many names, Tap Taps, Bangers, Thundersticks, Bambams, Wavesticks etc.

Due to the changes in the EU market, (see our entry about the subject here), it becomes more and more difficult to keep the access to these fairs closed for end users and marketing directors.

Turn up the heat and alter the degree of your next promotion with a Thermochromic, body heat activated Temporary Tattoo.

The Tattoo turns from a darker color to either almost clear or a lighter color as the Tattoo heats-up from body heat. Thermochromic inks can also go from a color to clear.

This Tattoo is a great way to reveal a message once applied to skin. A 4-color process image can be printed beneath the Thermochromic ink, revealing itself once applied to skin. This works because the Thermochromic ink can cover a message when it’s on the Tattoo paper.

When applied, the warmth of the skin will make the Temporary Tattoo Ink disappear and reveal the message.

Turnkey for contests, sweepstakes and games, this custom-designed, attention-getting game for curious consumers, reveals a secret message when Tattoo is applied to skin.

Suggested uses:

• * Store Promotions and Grand Openings
• * Licensed Characters
• * In-packs, Near Packs and On-packs
