Sourcing promotional and custom products for US brands

Branded merchandise, packaging, inserts and retail displays.

The category

What we source in promotional and custom products

Branded merchandise, corporate gifts, custom packaging, inserts, retail displays and point of sale units.

What catches importers out

The compliance load depends on the underlying product, so a branded drinkware run carries food contact obligations while a printed tote does not. Custom tooling costs and MOQs are the usual sticking point.

Where it gets made

Zhejiang for promotional goods at volume, Guangdong for packaging and printed display units.

Questions

Promotional and Custom Products sourcing, answered

What is the minimum order for promotional and custom products?
It depends on the specific product and whether it needs custom tooling. Stock items can start low, while a custom moulded product needs volume to justify the mould. We give you the realistic number for your product before you commit.
Which compliance rules apply to promotional and custom products in the US?
The compliance load depends on the underlying product, so a branded drinkware run carries food contact obligations while a printed tote does not. Custom tooling costs and MOQs are the usual sticking point.
Can you handle the testing and certification?
Yes. We coordinate testing through accredited laboratories and manage the documentation pack so the certificates exist before the goods ship, not after a marketplace asks for them.
Can you ship this category into Amazon FBA?
Yes, including FNSKU and carton labelling and box content submission. Some products in this category have prep requirements specific to Amazon, which we handle at our US facility.
