Six Steps From Idea to Delivery
Nothing goes into production until you have approved a digital proof.
Step 1: Initial Consultation
Email our team, fill out the quote form, or schedule a call to discuss your project. Tell us what you're looking for, whether that's custom awards, branded promotional products, onboarding kits, or corporate gifts. We'll ask about your event, timeline, quantity, and budget to find the right fit.
Step 2: Curated Product Options
Our team curates a selection of products tailored to your needs. For awards, we match materials and styles to your event. For branded swag and promotional products, we recommend items that align with your brand, audience, and budget.
Step 3: Design & Artwork
We create custom artwork proofs for your review. For awards, this includes engraving layouts and logo placement. For promotional products and branded merchandise, this covers print mockups, embroidery digitization, and packaging design. You can also provide your own artwork or use our templates.
Step 4: Review & Approve Proofs
Once you approve the proofs, we lock in your order. Every detail (names, logos, colors, sizes) is confirmed before production begins.
Step 5: Production & Quality Check
Your order enters production at one of our manufacturing facilities across the US. Whether it's laser-engraved crystal awards or screen-printed promotional products, every item is inspected for quality before shipping.
Step 6: Shipping & Delivery
We ship nationwide and internationally. Need drop shipping to multiple addresses? We handle that too. You'll receive tracking information as soon as your order ships.
