Brandon Mackay from
SnugZ USA Talks About
the Importance of
Providing Safe Products
SnugZ is a Member of QCA
Safety, compliance and social responsibility aren't new, but they are the new normal. Companies today are more interested than ever in product quality and product safety when considering promotional merchandise. As a result, distributors are faced with a daunting task. They must provide compliant products as expected by their clients, which in turn provides a reliably safe impression of their clients' brand for consumers.
