Sun, Sand, and SWAG: your ultimate guide to made-to-order summer merch

By Claudia Lamb

The upcoming seasons’ promise of beach days, barbecues, and outdoor adventures means the warm winter layers will soon be traded for lightweight tees, breathable caps, and new accessories and gadgets. But before we all hit the sand running, we’re daring you to ditch the generic gear this year and make a big branded splash with custom summer merch. 

If you’re up for the challenge, here is your one-stop guide to creating unique summer merch that reflects your brand’s personality, promotes your message, and makes a statement.

What does ‘custom merch’ really mean?

Our ‘custom merch’ or ‘made-to-order’ range does exactly what it says on the tin – opens the door to complete customisation with one-of-a-kind, bespoke products. Every detail is up to you, from colours and materials to scale and sizes. We’ll realise your ideas to your specifications and build the products from scratch for maximum marketing impact. 

Why choose custom summer merch? 

The summer sky’s the limit; custom merch means your creativity will know no bounds. So, if you’ve got a unique brand, our made-to-order range will give you the space to show it and stand out from the sea of generic merchandise with genuinely one-of-a-kind products.

The custom merch to set your sights on this summer

The first step in the custom product pipeline is selecting the right product.

Summer Merch - Lay down the brand loyalty with custom towels

Lay down the brand loyalty with custom towels 

From beach days and pool parties to picnics and gym workouts, towels are a practical and versatile brandable pick for the summertime. Whether you have your sights set on classic cotton or sand-free microfiber technology, we have a new range of towels to build up your brand awareness by the beach. 

  • Sand Free Microfiber Ant Fabric Beach Towel / Yoga Towel: Love the beach, loathe the sand? Allow us to introduce you to a towel with microfiber technology that repels sand, leaving you frustration-free. You can customise both sides with vibrant full-colour printing and choose from two spacious sizes to accommodate all your teams’ needs. 
  • Sand Free Microfiber Suede Beach Towel/ Yoga TowelWhether you’re soaking up the sunshine at the beach or working up a sweat in a warrior pose, wrap yourself in a towel that reflects your style. Our Microfiber Suede Beach towel is made from high-quality recycled materials (RPET) and offers exceptional comfort, durability, and style. Its compact and lightweight nature means this towel can easily be folded and packed for travel, ready to carry your brand to new places.
  • Cotton Double Terry Embossed Beach TowelIf you wish to indulge your network in luxury, we know a towel. Our Cotton Double Terry Embossed Beach Towel is 100% cotton and offers exceptional softness, absorbency, and durability.

  • Cotton Double Terry Jacquard Beach TowelSo, in the season of sun, make sure your brand is where the people are – by the beach. As a Jacquard product, your design will be knitted into the product, offering a durable and large decoration area. If you want comfort, quality, and branding opportunities, let your brand be displayed across the shores with our Cotton Double Terry Jacquard Beach Towel.
  • Cotton Velour Jacquard Beach TowelOur luxurious cotton velour beach towels offer a soft, absorbent feel and are ideal for promotional giveaways or employee gifts, so get them in time for the holidays.
