Corcoran Printing, a division of PDQ, recently worked with Kingmakers Cigars to custom print a signature branded cigar band for Kelsey Plum, a member of the gold medal winning U.S. women’s basketball team. Upon receiving her gold medal, Plum lit up her branded cigar in celebration on the Olympic stage. Kingmakers Cigars partnered with Plum well before her Olympic victory. An all-star guard for the Las Vegas Aces of the WNBA, Plum drew the attention of the cigar-maker for lighting up cigars during the Aces’ two WNBA championship celebrations.
Signature Branded Cigar Band Captures Essence of a Trailblazer
Kingmakers refers to the Kelsey Plum cigar “a celebration of finesse and focus, offering a refined experience that lingers long after the final puff.” When looking for an experienced cigar brand printer for their new signature cigar, Kingmakers chose Corcoran Printing. The Corcoran team at PDQ selected the paper they felt most appropriate for the basketball star, an #81 colormates text wove in merlot. A beautifully designed KP logo was then foil embossed onto the paper and then die cut into a unique band shape truly fitting of the brand.
Signature Branded Cigar Band Encourage Celebrating Like a Champ
When Kingmaker Cigars created the Kelsey Plum cigar, they wanted to encourage “celebrating like a champion.” Honoring Kelsey with not only this unique cigar, but also the custom branded cigar band, was truly fitting of the star she is. Whether looking for a custom cigar band to celebrate an individual or a grand event in style, an experienced cigar band printer can help you create a lasting impressing. Signature cigar bands blend tradition with creativity, offering a unique branding tool that appeals to the senses and emotions.
Custom Cigar Rings: A Personal Touch for Special Occasions
Custom cigar rings take tradition a step further by allowing personalized designs that reflect an individual, brand, event, or message.
- Event Promotion: Custom cigar rings can elevate any event, from corporate gatherings and product launches to charity fundraisers and large sporting or national events. Imagine hosting a black-tie gala where each guest receives a cigar adorned with a custom ring bearing the event’s logo or theme. Not only does this add a touch of luxury, but it also serves as a keepsake that guests will remember long after the event.
- Honoring Individuals: As in the case of the Kelsey Plum cigar, custom cigar rings are also an excellent way to celebrate and honor the achievements and legacy of individuals.
- Commemorating Milestones: Milestones such as corporate anniversaries, company achievements, a huge victory, or significant individual milestones can be commemorated with custom cigar rings. These small tokens can encapsulate the significance of the moment, turning an ordinary celebration into an extraordinary one.
Signature Branded Cigar Band: Creativity Meets Craftsmanship
The process of designing and printing custom cigar rings is where creativity meets craftsmanship. The possibilities are virtually endless, limited only by the imagination. From classic and elegant designs to bold and modern aesthetics, custom cigar rings can be tailored to suit any individual, style or theme.
The quality of the materials used in the cigar ring is crucial to creating a lasting impression. High-quality paper and foil, along with specialized embossing or metallic accents, can elevate the overall look and feel of the cigar ring. The choice of materials should reflect the tone of the event, stature of an individual, or the brand’s image, ensuring that the cigar rings are both visually appealing and durable.
Once the design is finalized, the rings are crafted with precision and attention to detail. The process involves printing the design onto the chosen material, custom foil stamping and embossing, and then cutting the rings to shape and size. This craftsmanship ensures that each cigar ring is a work of art, contributing to the overall experience of the event or celebration.
The Impact of a Signature Custom Cigar Band: A Lasting Impression
A custom cigar band is more than just decorative pieces; it is a powerful branding tool that leaves a lasting impression. When thoughtfully designed and executed, they create a sense of exclusivity and sophistication that resonates with the audience.
In an era where personalization is key, custom cigar wraps offer a unique way to connect with people on a deeper level. They appeal to the senses, evoke emotions, and create memories that linger long after the cigar is enjoyed. For those looking to make a statement, celebrate an individual, or simply add a touch of elegance to their branding efforts, custom cigar rings are an exceptional choice.
