The Auckland Food Show is coming to Auckland Showgrounds from 23 to 26 July 2026, bringing together food lovers, exhibitors, tastings, demonstrations, show specials and plenty of delicious inspiration. For food and beverage businesses, cafés, restaurants, caterers, food trucks and hospitality suppliers, it is also a great reminder of how important good branding can be when you are face-to-face with customers.
Whether you are exhibiting at the show, running tastings, attending local food events or simply wanting your team to look more professional, branded promotional products and clothing can help your business stand out.
Make your brand easy to remember
Food events are busy, colourful and full of competition. People are tasting, browsing, chatting and collecting ideas, which means your brand needs to be seen quickly and remembered easily.
Branded aprons, caps, uniforms and tasting giveaways are simple but effective ways to create a polished look and keep your business front of mind. A well-presented team can make a big difference, especially when customers are trying your products for the first time.
Branded aprons for tastings, cafés and food stalls
Aprons are one of the most practical branding options for food businesses. They help your team look professional while also keeping your logo visible throughout the day.
They are ideal for:
- Food tastings
- Cooking demonstrations
- Café and restaurant teams
- Food trucks
- Market stalls
- Catering staff
- Deli counters and retail food stores
A branded apron gives your team a consistent look and helps customers quickly identify who to speak to.
Caps and uniforms that bring the team together
Caps, polos, tees and hospitality uniforms are a great way to make your team look organised and approachable. For businesses exhibiting or serving food, uniforms also help create trust. Customers can easily recognise your staff, ask questions and connect your people with your brand.
From casual printed tees to embroidered polos, caps and aprons, there are plenty of options to suit different food brands, from fun and colourful through to premium and professional.
Cooler bags and reusable cups for practical giveaways
Promotional products work best when people actually use them. For food and beverage businesses, cooler bags and reusable cups are a great fit because they naturally connect with eating, drinking, shopping and entertaining.
Cooler bags are perfect for food shows, markets, picnics, staff gifts and customer giveaways. Reusable cups are a practical choice for cafés, coffee brands, hospitality teams and businesses wanting a more sustainable promotional option.
Both products give your logo ongoing exposure long after the event is over.
Tasting-event giveaways that keep your brand in their hands
At food events, small branded giveaways can help customers remember your business after they have walked away from your stand. These do not need to be complicated. Useful, easy-to-carry items often work best.
Great ideas include:
- Branded pens
- Tote bags
- Reusable cups
- Bottle openers
- Notebooks
- Keyrings
- Drink bottles
- Cooler bags
If you are giving out samples, a small branded item can help create a stronger connection between the tasting experience and your business name.
