Custom stress balls and destress balls — wellness kits and NOM-035 programmes
The corporate stress ball is the piece with the strongest affinity for the collaborator's mental-health programme — the recipient associates it with the brand that cares about their wellbeing, uses it during active breaks and high-workload moments, and keeps it on their desk for months. We run low-density PU foam stress balls (soft polyurethane foam), high-density PU foam (firm feel, fast rebound), wheat-filled stress balls (natural weight, subtle grain aroma), sand-filled (fine therapeutic sand, heavier weight), recycled foam (post-consumer recycled foam), fruit-shaped, brand-mascot shaped, ergonomic finger-exerciser shaped, heart-shaped, brain-shaped, with built-in LED light, six-sided dice shaped, textured surface for palm massage. Corporates with NOM-035 mental-health programmes order them, Fintechs for welcome kits, advertising agencies for creative kits, and wellness brands for activation.
Materials — what each one covers
Low-density PU foam (soft polyurethane foam) is the choice for high-frequency-use programmes — the ball compresses easily, returns to original shape in 2 to 3 seconds, and keeps its soft feel through daily use. Available in solid colours with stable pigmentation ink. High-density PU foam is the choice for programmes seeking a firm, therapeutic feel — the ball requires more force to compress, rebounds faster, and holds shape under intensive use.
Wheat-filled is the choice for programmes with natural feel and calming weight — the ball carries the weight of a massage stone, the grain inside produces a subtle and soothing aroma, and adapts to the palm shape. Sand-filled (fine sand) is the choice for occupational-therapy programmes — heavier weight, firmer feel, deep-pressure effect. Recycled foam (post-consumer recycled foam) is the choice for ESG-aligned programmes — recycled foam from mattresses and post-industrial packaging, slightly heterogeneous coloration, with recycled-content percentage reporting for your sustainability memo.
Shapes — geometric, mascot, ergonomic
The classic sphere of 60 to 70 mm diameter is the choice for general programmes — standard format that fits the palm and ships in individual bag. The larger-diameter sphere (80 to 100 mm) is the choice for occupational and ergonomic therapy programmes — bigger ball for full-hand exercises. The smaller-diameter sphere (40 to 50 mm) is the choice for finger-exercise programmes — useful for collaborators who type all day.
The brand-mascot shape (animated corporate character) is the choice for creative-brand programmes with strong graphic identity — PU foam injected mould in the character shape, solid colours with painted details. Mould cost is quoted separately and amortises at order close. The fruit shape (orange, apple, pear, lemon) is the choice for healthy-eating and wellness programmes — natural colours, recognisable shapes, ideal for food-and-beverage brand activations. The ergonomic finger-exerciser shape is the choice for occupational-health programmes — compact piece with slots for each finger, silicone or PU-foam exerciser.
Printing and personalisation
Pad printing on PU-foam surface reproduces logos with 1 to 4 solid colours — the most common choice for general corporate programmes. UV digital printing on the surface reproduces logos with fine details, gradients and free palette — the choice for premium and gift programmes.
Laser engraving on PU foam leaves a permanent low-relief mark — useful for monochrome-identity programmes and welcome kits with discrete effect. The interior woven label completes the programme — label with brand, material composition and country of origin. Individual cellophane-bag packaging with corporate card is the standard choice. For premium gifts, we run individual cardboard-box packaging with transparent window. Technique and packaging are confirmed at the start of the brief based on programme level and recipient use.
