Remember that company branded products are an effective way to promote your brand. If you can't find the merchandise you are looking for, or would like some ideas for personalised products for your customers, then get in touch. We can provide free visuals so that you can see what your logo looks like on any of our personalised merch.    

Yes! At Gilt Edged we are proud to provide our customers with a free visual artwork service. This means you get the opportunity of seeing what your desired product looks like with your logo or branding on it. We can prepare a visual for you to demonstrate this. It’s really easy too: simply send us your logo or design via email to salesall@giltedged.co.uk, and we will send you the visual representation of the product.

Yes! We offer low or no MOQ printed products on selected items. For example, we have custom printed deckchairs and other event merchandise that you can order from just 1 unit. If you are looking for custom printed giveaways for your promotional merch, we do suggest that you bulk order where possible. Why? With us, bulk buy branded merchandise generally gets cheaper the more you order.  

Yes! We know that 79% of people in a study who have heard brands communicating about their sustainability are likely to trust that messaging (The Round Trip) which show just how important eco merchandsie can be. We provide a range dedicated to eco-friendly merchandise. We ensure that we work with suppliers that have a commitment to the environment to order in ethically sourced merch. Substituting your business branded promotional items for eco-friendly ones can help the environment by cutting down on carbon emissions. Our selection of sustainable branded merchandise includes eco pens, branded plants, eco branded notebooks, eco branded keyrings, and more.   

Yes – Our customers benefit hugely from our promotional merchandise in-house branding services. Here are five reasons. 

1. The Customer has more control as this reduces the need for the branded merch supplier to liaise with their suppliers. If the company provides some printing in-house (like us), they can provide additional updates on the process of an order. We at Gilt Edged Promotions like to keep our customers informed with their promotional products.  
2. Shorter lead times - Expect a quicker service if branded products are printed in-house. This isn’t always the case. Suppliers like us provide in-house printing facilities but we can also source last-minute gifts for specific trade suppliers that we don’t brand in-house. This is what makes us so unique.  
3. Lower Minimum Quantities (MOQ) can be ordered. We, for example, have embroidery machines, so as soon as we receive your garments, we can provide customisation on the promotional item right away. Huge orders are easy for us too with the use of our equipment and dedicated team.  We have the right facilities for orders from 1 item to 50,000 depending on the item.  
4. Quality check - With some of the promotional gifts that we detail in-house, we can ensure that the quality of the products is checked and finalised before sending them off to the customer.  We take pride in maintaining excellent quality across all budgets as we understand that promotional gifts should reflect your brand in a positive way.  

We provide a vast range of in-house branding methods from Blind Embossing, to Blocking, to Embroidery. These are just some of the ways that we detail products to better enhance promotional and corporate gifting. If you are looking for high-quality detailing of the branding area, then consider us as your go-to promotional merchandise supplier here at Gilt Edged Promotions.
