Branded merchandise & promotional item printing for businesses

Branded merchandise is a practical and professional way for businesses to extend their brand beyond printed materials. Firstpointprint provides branded merchandise printing and promotional item printing for commercial customers in London and across the UK, supporting events, campaigns, and internal branding with quality-focused, well-produced items.

Rather than offering self-service ordering, we take a consultative approach to branded business merchandise. We help businesses choose the right products, materials, and branding methods to ensure their merchandise reflects their brand properly and performs well in real-world use.

What is branded merchandise?

Branded corporate merchandise includes everyday items printed with a company’s logo, message, or visual identity. These items are commonly used to support marketing activity, events, and internal branding.

Well-chosen promotional merchandise helps businesses:

  • Increase brand recognition
  • Maintain visual consistency across campaigns
  • Present a professional brand image

Our focus is on commercial-grade promotional merchandise printing designed for business, events and organisations.

Branded merchandise products & business use cases

Choosing the right promotional items is as important as the branding itself. We advise clients on merchandise that suits their audience, setting, and objectives, rather than offering an exhaustive product list.

Merchandise branding is commonly used for…

  • Branded pens
  • Branded notepads
  • Branded tote bags
  • Branded mugs

Typical use cases include…

  • Conferences and corporate events
  • Trade shows and exhibitions
  • Event giveaways and delegate packs
  • Internal company branding for employees
  • Onboarding and internal marketing

Merchandise printing quality, materials & finishes

Quality plays a critical role in how branded merchandise is perceived. Poorly made or badly printed promotional items can reflect negatively on a business, even when the intention is positive.

We advise clients on:

  • Suitable materials for each product
  • Appropriate finishes for longevity and appearance
  • Usability and durability for repeated handling

This outcome-focused approach ensures printed promotional merchandise supports your brand, not undermine it.

Our options for printing on promotional items

Our approach to printing promotional products is guided and consultative. Branding methods are always selected based on the product and the intended result.

Available branding methods include:

We select the most suitable print on promotional items to achieve the required finish, colour accuracy, and durability.

Typical process

  1. Discussion of requirements and product suitability
  2. Selection of the most appropriate branding method
  3. Artwork checks and preparation (with support from our Graphic Design team if artwork needs adapting)
  4. Production and delivery

Turnaround times & order volumes for promotional merchandise printing

Most promotional item printing starts from a minimum order quantity of 50 units, depending on the product. Higher quantities generally reduce the unit cost, making branded merchandise more cost-effective at scale.

Turnaround times vary based on:

  • Product type
  • Print method
  • Quantity ordered

We help clients plan realistic timelines, particularly where merchandise is needed for events or fixed deadlines.

Branded merchandise for events & campaigns

Branded merchandise is most commonly used to support events such as conferences, trade shows, and corporate gatherings. Promotional merchandise printing works best when it complements wider event materials, including printed literature, display graphics, and signage.

By coordinating merchandise with event print and campaign assets, we help businesses present a consistent, professional brand presence across all touchpoints.
