The right product with a clear imprint gets used, kept, and remembered. A few choices up front make a big difference.

Start with your audience and goal.

Think about who will receive the item and what you want them to remember. A useful product that fits into their daily life will keep your brand in front of them much longer than a novelty that ends up in a drawer.

Choose quality that reflects your brand.

A product that breaks quickly or goes unused can leave the wrong impression. We’ll help you find items that feel good in the hand and fit your budget.

Send vector artwork when you can.

Most promotional products are imprinted by screen printing, pad printing, laser engraving, or embroidery, and these methods work best with vector files such as AI, EPS, PDF, or SVG. If you only have a JPG or PNG, send it anyway and we’ll let you know what’s needed.

Keep your design simple for small imprint areas.

Pens, keychains, and many other items have a small imprint area. A clean logo with one short line of text reads better than a detailed design or a long message.

Match the decoration method to the product.

Laser engraving gives drinkware and metal items an elegant, permanent mark. Full-color printing is great for photos and gradients. We’ll recommend the method that looks best on the product you choose.

Expect imprint colors to vary slightly.

Many products can be printed in a matched PMS color, but the same color can look a little different on plastic, metal, glass, or fabric. Let us know if exact brand colors are important to you.

Ask about samples.

For a larger order or a product you haven’t seen before, a sample lets you check the size, feel, and quality before you commit. Ask us what’s available for the items you’re considering.

Not sure where to start? Tell us about your audience, and we’ll suggest a few ideas.

Production times vary by product and decoration method, and many items are made to order. Share your deadline early so we can recommend products that will arrive in time.

Tell us when you need your order in hand.

If your products are for an event, trade show, or launch, give us the date you need to receive them, not just the event date. Allow time for shipping and any packing or preparation you’ll need to do afterward.

Choose products with your deadline in mind.

Some items can be produced and shipped quickly, while others take several weeks. If your date is fixed, we’ll point you toward options that fit your schedule.

Send your artwork early.

Getting your artwork to us at the beginning gives us time to review it, make any necessary adjustments, and prepare your proof. If you need design help, let us know so we can include that in the schedule.

Confirm quantities, colors, and imprint details.

We need your final product, color, quantity, and imprint selections before your order can go into production. Finalizing these details early helps avoid delays.

Review your proof and invoice promptly.

Check your artwork, spelling, imprint color, and placement carefully. Production starts after approval, and changes after that point may affect the price or completion date.

Have a backup choice.

Popular products and colors can sell out, especially before busy seasons. Having a second choice in mind lets us keep your order moving if an item is unavailable.

Plan ahead for busy seasons.

The holidays, back-to-school, and conference season are busy times for suppliers. Ordering early during these periods gives you the most product choices and the smoothest schedule.

Working with a tight deadline? Ask us.

Many products offer faster production options. Tell us your date, and we’ll let you know what’s possible.

Promotional product pricing depends on the item, the quantity, and how it’s imprinted. A few smart choices can help your budget go further.

Order more at one time.

Most promotional products have price breaks at higher quantities, so a single larger order usually costs less per piece than several smaller ones. Think ahead to upcoming events, new hires, and seasonal needs.

Limit imprint colors.

Many imprint methods are priced by the number of colors. A one-color version of your logo often looks great and can lower your cost.

Use one imprint location.

Each additional imprint location adds cost. A single, well-placed logo can make a strong impression on its own.

Match the product to the occasion.

Not every recipient needs the same item. Pairing an affordable giveaway for large events with a premium gift for key clients or employees helps you spend where it matters most.

Allow standard production time.

Rush production is sometimes available, but it can add cost. Planning ahead keeps more options open at regular pricing.

Reorder favorites.

Reordering the same product with the same artwork keeps things simple, quick, and consistent.

Share your budget early.

Knowing your target price helps us recommend the right products, quantities, and imprint options from the start.
