Advertising Sponges

The raw materials are produced in France, while the processing into finished products takes place in Germany.

Standard Spontex cleaning sponges are transformed into promotional sponges by being compressed very thinly and then printed on. When these compressed sponges are placed in water, you‘ll see firsthand why our Spontex promotional sponges are also known as „pop-up“ sponges. As soon as the compressed sponge comes into contact with water, it absorbs it within seconds and expands to its familiar, ready-to-use size – a true „WOW – POP-UP“ effect.

Spontex expanding sponges are compressed to a small size, making them easier to handle and transport when flat and space- saving. Upon contact with water, they expand to their original, ready-to-use size within seconds by absorbing the liquid. This method allows for high liquid absorption, making them practical and versatile helpers in the home and in professional, commercial applications. Furthermore, our compressed pop-up sponges can only be screen-printed in multiple colors, and their expansion provides an additional, unique advertising effect.

As the sponges dry, the water evaporates from their pores, causing them to shrink and appear smaller. When placed back in water, the pores rehydrate, and the sponges regain their original size and structure within seconds.

No, although the sponge loses volume when drying, it does not reach its compressed form.

Yes, the sponges are made from renewable plant fibers, are washable, therefore reusable many times, and completely biodegradable. The flat packaging saves energy and transport costs, thus further protecting the environment.

Viscose is made from cellulose, a renewable raw material. Cellulose is found in various types of wood and remains biodegradable even after the viscose process. This makes viscose more environmentally friendly than completely synthetic materials. Furthermore, the sponge can be disposed of in the organic waste bin after its useful life.

Commercially available cellulose sponges are usually soaked in a special softener to give them the ready-to-use shape and soft feel expected of sponges in stores. Printing is not possible on this damp material. Therefore, for promotional purposes, we only offer expanded sponges, i.e., dry, compressed material.

Yes, our sponges, which are made of pure cellulose, are dermatologically tested and skin-friendly. When moist, they are pleasantly soft on the skin and suitable for body care and various cosmetic applications.

Spontex Quellschwämme können je nach Größe bis zum 20-fachen ihres Eigengewichts an Flüssigkeiten aufnehmen. Beispielsweise kann ein Schwamm, der 10 Gramm wiegt, ungefähr 200 Gramm Wasser speichern. Diese hohe Saugfähigkeit beruht auf dem Kapillareffekt, bei dem die Fasern im Schwamm Wasser anziehen, ins Gewebe hineinziehen und darin festhalten. Erst durch ein leichtes Auswringen, wird das Wasser wieder aus dem Schwamm abgegeben.
