No more cheap and nasty, fraudulent merchandise

If you’ve ever had a bespoke campaign or event to promote, you’ll know how stressful it can be to find high-quality merchandise, or manufacturers you can trust. Cheap and nasty materials, poor inconsistent branding, fraudulent certificates, and thousands of pounds wasted are just some of the horror stories we hear—and we want to make sure that’s never your experience.

These are premiums you can be proud of

We design, source and manage the complete fulfilment of retail-quality, licensee-grade, custom-made products that you’ll be thrilled with, and your clients (genuinely) impressed by.

You name it, we can make it

Keyrings, lanyards, notepads and pens. Branded coffee cups, flasks, and power banks… the list is endless.

Choose from off-the-shelf, or go fully bespoke (a personalised bottle of Suntory whisky for Father’s Day perhaps?) Because we build a close relationship with you and your brand — and your merchandise is only manufactured by distributors we have trusted relationship with — you can be confident that whatever you order, it'll always be on-brand, and on-point.

"Customer service is so good! They take the pressure off"

100% confidence


No more placing “blind” orders, or “assuming” you can trust a supplier’s certifications (with dire consequences). We’ve met our suppliers in person, visited their factories and they’ve passed our rigorous benchmarks. In short, we’re 100% confident of their qualityand you can be too. 


Creative excellence & brand consistency


No more worrying that brand colours could be ‘off,’ or logos look suspect. Because we’re completely familiar with your brand, you can trust that all colour, finish and construction is matched to your artwork, and the finished product will meet your expectations, and your brand’s guidelines. 


ESG compliant


Every partner conforms to the ethical, environmental and quality benchmarks (FSC, SEDEX, EcoVadis) that your brand and retail partners demand, and every product is tested before it ships.


Design expertise & global sourcing


We combine our design expertise with collaborating distributors in Hong Kong and mainland China, with an audited and proven supply chain.


One touchpoint you can trust


You’ll work with one designated expert throughout the process, and build a trusted relationship with them. That’s one touchpoint to answer all your queries, and guide you through the process.


Save time and money, energy and worry


Because we work to one seamless workflow you save on every measurable: from countless hours searching for suppliers, to the eye-watering worry if it all went wrong…


Bespoke & limitless 


Because we have a creative, trusted relationship with our suppliers our bespoke model is wide open, and we can produce almost anything (within reason). Not sure it can be done? Try us! We’ll happily talk you through your options. 

A quick note on standards

Every item is tested and documented against the safety regulations of each destination market (e.g. EN71, REACH, CPSIA, Prop 65).

All our suppliers have passed independent testing, certification and environmental audits including SEDEX, FSC and EcoVadis.

Third-party lab verification happens before shipment, not after.

FAQs

What kinds of products can you make?

Anything your team can use on a promotional day or at an event: key rings, clothing, lanyards, notepads, branded coffee cups, flasks, power banks and more. You can go off the shelf (a cap, a pen, a jacket) or fully bespoke, where we design something from scratch around your campaign.

Not at all. Some clients arrive with a precise spec, others with a launch date and a budget. We can curate a shortlist of options that suit your audience and spend, or develop a bespoke concept with our suppliers.

Yes. This is one of the biggest advantages of working with us in this way: colour, finish and construction are matched to your master artwork, with no approximations. Because we’re well-versed and well-familiar with all the brands we work with, we can provide guidance where needed, and make sure everything is on-brand.

Most merchandise passes through an agency, an intermediary and an agent before it reaches a factory. We go direct to factory, through our partners in Hong Kong and mainland China. That means fewer hands, a full paper trail and one team accountable from concept to delivery.

You'll have a designated point of contact who looks after everything from concept to fulfilment, with supplier performance reporting throughout.

We’re glad you’re excited! Book your call here to speak to one of our sales team, and they’ll take care of you.
