Wednesday 2 – Thursday 3 December — Eid Al Etihad
The official public holiday for the 55th UAE National Day.
Branding around the flag, not on it
We match the method to the material:
- Laser engraving on steel bottles, tumblers and metal card holders
- UV printing and UV DTF for full-colour logos on mugs, power banks and phone accessories
- Screen and pad printing for one- or two-colour logos on totes and pens
- Embroidery on polos and caps
Every quote comes with a free mockup within 4 hours, so you can see your logo beside the National Day design before you approve. The federal flag guidelines don't allow logos on the UAE flag itself.
Bulk pricing, MOQ 25 and delivery
Prices on this page are live and per unit, before branding. Most products start at 25 pieces, and each product page shows its own minimum. Ordering for a large team? Ask for a quote — larger quantities get a better unit price.
We deliver across the UAE to your office or warehouse.
National Day gifting checklist
- Count everyone first. Employees, then the clients and partners on your list, then a few spares.
- Brand the gifts, not the flag. Your logo goes on mugs, bottles, notebooks, totes and team wear.
- Skip flag-printed disposables. Choose gifts people keep using, such as mugs, bottles, notebooks and totes.
- Hand out before the holiday. The public holiday starts on Wednesday 2 December, so plan the hand-out for the last working days before it.
- Add a short note. A line from your leadership turns a branded mug into a National Day message.
