Merchandise ideas for companies and teams
Merchandise ideas that people hold on to, sorted by occasion and matched with the branding method that suits each piece best: embroidery, screen printing, laser engraving, embossing or full-colour printing. Useful items for new starters, events, clients and remote teams.
The three-question rule
Would you use it without the logo? Will it last more than a year? Does it say something about you? If an idea fails any of these, it ends up in a drawer or in the bin.
Each occasion calls for a different piece
A notebook, bottle and garment for a new starter; a tote bag with two or three useful items for a trade show; less logo and more quality for a client.
Branding matched to the product
Embroidery on textiles, screen printing on cotton, laser engraving on metal, embossing on notebooks and full-colour printing on mouse mats and mugs.
Merchandise ideas for every moment of the company year
For new starters, a kit with a notebook, bottle and a garment in their size works well, all with the same logo. At events, trade shows and conferences, a thick cloth bag with two or three useful items, plus a better piece for speakers and clients.
For remote teams, a desk kit with a mouse mat, wireless charger and mug. For an anniversary or internal event, a sweatshirt with your own design, pin badges or socks, without putting the date on anything you want people to use for years.
Materials that last and a logo placed with care
The merchandise worth buying is the kind that lasts: steel instead of plastic, thick or organic cotton, recycled paper and bamboo. A piece that gets used for five years is more sustainable than a biodegradable one that is thrown away within a month.
Keep the logo small and single-colour, on sober colours such as black, navy, grey or natural. The price on each product page includes one-colour branding in the standard area; other techniques or extra colours are covered in the quote.
How to choose merchandise ideas
- Something people use without the logo
- Choose pieces people would use even if they didn't carry your brand: a well-made sweatshirt, an insulated bottle, a laptop backpack or a hardback notebook.
- Matched to the occasion
- New starters, events, clients and remote teams each call for different pieces. A few well-chosen items work better than one of everything.
- A technique that ages well
- Embroidery for sweatshirts, caps, backpacks and blankets; laser engraving for bottles and speakers; blind embossing for notebooks; screen printing for T-shirts and tote bags.
- Test before you roll out
- For tech items, ask for a sample first. As the minimum order is €100.00 excl. VAT, you can try an idea with a small team before taking it to the whole company.
