Building Brands More Sustainably

Part of the Solution, not the Problem.

Promo Has a
Problem

The way promotional products are
typically made has some drawbacks:

Limited Creativity

Many suppliers follow the same process – importing generic items, decorating them, and then shipping them out. This approach can limit creative freedom and make it harder for brands to stand out.

Wasteful Inventory

Holding onto large amounts of blank products can lead to waste if they become outdated or unpopular. This can ultimately end up in landfills.

Environmental Impact

Air freight, often used for faster delivery of decorated goods, has a significantly higher carbon footprint compared to ocean shipping.

This "one-size-fits-all" approach isn't ideal for anyone.

It's time for a more innovative and sustainable way to create promotional products.

Our Approach

The promo industry has a waste problem. From a sustainability perspective, our model is better. We create highly customizable products in small batches quickly, minimizing surplus and maximizing efficiency.
