Zero Middlemen. Zero Compromise. 90-Day Strategy.
By bypassing domestic middlemen and going factory-direct, we save you 40% on cost and unlock 100% customization.
For markets that value quality branding on a budget.
Most swag vendors act as a middleman - buying blanks from a warehouse in Toronto, slapping a logo on them, and charging you a premium for speed. We operate differently. As a marketing-led partner, we treat merchandise like a campaign, not an afterthought.
We source directly from Tier-1 facilities in various countries - the same production lines trusted by global sportswear giants. This allows us to cut the "distributor markup" and invest that budget back into premium materials, custom taping, and superior embroidery.
