Logomark Partners With Retail Brand Snowfox

Logomark, the industry-leading promotional product supplier, has entered into a partnership with Snowfox to add their branded barware to Logomark’s growing hydration offerings.

Founded in Newport Beach, CA in 2017, Snowfox, Inc. is a woman-owned company established with the idea that beverage temperature retention could be achieved without sacrificing the design and drinking experience provided by traditional elegant glass barware. With each of its drink-specific product designs, Snowfox concentrates on four basic elements; simple yet sophisticated styling, weight that is up to 50% lighter than typical everyday glass, a thin, 1mm rim that provides a similar sipping experience to premium glassware, sizes and shapes that are comfortable to hold for both men and women, and sufficient insulation to keep a drink cold without the need for a lid. Made with high-quality 304 (18/8) food-grade stainless steel, and using double wall vacuum insulated construction, Snowfox barware is crafted to keep drinks cool while keeping hands and table surfaces dry and are available in designs and colors chosen to look great and perform well at cocktail parties and poolside gatherings alike.

“Logomark is excited to enter a partnership with an innovative drinkware brand like Snowfox. The brand provides a fresh take on drinkware, blending performance stainless steel with high-end barware,” says Trevor Gnesin, Chief Executive Officer at Logomark.

Logomark will be releasing 8 stainless-steel barware products from the brand including Beer, Martini, Rocks, Wine, and Highball glasses, along with Ice Buckets, Cocktail Shakers, and Wine Carafes, that will be available in white and black with rose gold trims and unique shimmer finishes among other color offerings.
