Key Cards for a Warm Welcome
A well-designed key card does more than provide access. It strengthens your brand’s identity the moment guests open their door. Material choice matters. Wooden key cards reflect a sustainable, eco-friendly philosophy and a strong connection to natural materials. PVC key cards are ideal for fast-paced city hotels where durability and efficiency are essential. Adding a raised gold foil logo enhances the tactile experience, gold foil on wood offers a luxurious finish. Every detail matters and serves a unique goal.
Key Card Holders for
Elegant Presentation & Protection
Key card holders keep cards safe and visible while transforming a simple item into a meaningful branded element. They accompany guests throughout their stay, reinforcing brand consistency from check-in to check-out. They can be produced using premium paper with a raw, natural feel, finished with soft-touch lamination for added protection or crafted from wood for a more elegant and long-lasting result.
The Z-Key Holder:
Two Functions, One Smart Design
The Z-key holder combines a key card holder and a Z-fold information card in one product. The cover can be customised with textured uncoated paper for an earthy aesthetic, gold foil printed patterns for a striking visual effect or binding paper for a modern and durable result. The interior layout is ideal for sharing essential guest information such as resort maps, local recommendations, services or storytelling.

Once guests enter their room , print essentials continue
to support both comfort and brand visibility
Do Not Disturb Signs:
Smart Communication Tool
Once guests enter their room, print essentials continue to support both comfort and brand visibility. Do not disturb signs are often the first visible item on the room door. Their material and print method communicate more than words. Single-use paper options suit fast-paced hotels, seagrass board with UV printing offers an organic, natural aesthetic. Leather options provide durability and elegance, while recycled leather signs communicate eco-friendly values.
Hotel Stationery:
Tools for Planning & Reflection
Notepads, pens and pencils invite guests to write, plan or reflect. Paper quality, texture and colour express brand character. Branded stationery items often leave the room with guests, extending your hotel’s presence beyond the stay.
Guest Directories: All Information in One Folder
Guest directories bring all essential information together in one elegant folder, placed in-room to guide and inform your guests. Available with a clipboard, interior pockets, magnetic sleeves or rings as the binding method. Produced in flexy, hard or board formats, the directory keeps all the information you want to instantly communicate to your guests, such as restaurant and area sight recommendations, hotel policies and more.
Coffee & Tea Presentation
Custom coffee and tea boxes crafted from coffee board (a great option for coffee-related brands) or seagrass board (ideal for seaside or resort hotels) elevate your hospitality offering and provide additional brand exposure. We customise the interior layout depending on your needs, with sections for coffee capsules, space for tea bags and sugar. Complete the look with the sustainable coffee tray created from hazelnut and pistachio shells. Food-safe, waterproof and easy to clean, it is designed to hold kettles, cups and coffee amenities.
Room Messaging Signs That
Encourage Eco-Friendly Habits
Small messaging signs placed near beds, desks or towel areas help communicate thoughtful messages such as towel reuse or housekeeping preferences. Crafted from wood, stone, acrylic, sustainable boards or any other material that suits your brand identity.
Branded Accessories Guests Will Remember
Beach and pool bags are often associated with the most enjoyable moments of a guest’s stay. Available in various sizes and materials, from practical to premium, these bags are reusable items guests keep and use repeatedly. A thoughtfully applied logo ensures lasting brand visibility.
