Brands we source and decorate
Real garments from our catalog
Event apparel and merchandise builds around tees and hats for high-volume attendee gear, polos for sponsors and VIPs, and laser-engraved drinkware for giveaways and gifting moments. Add hoodies for cooler outdoor events and outerwear for tournaments.
Event deadlines aren't flexible — and most vendors treat them like they are.
Events have a date on them. Either the gear is there or it isn't. Most apparel vendors quote you a comfortable lead time, then call three days before the event with a partial shipment and a story about a delay at the decorator. You're left scrambling and apologizing to sponsors.
We do this differently because we run our own decoration in-house. There's no 'the decorator missed the deadline' because we are the decorator. We plan against your event date, confirm before we commit, and produce to a schedule that gets the gear to your venue or event team with margin. Same shop, same accountability, same answer the day the conference opens.

What your apparel partnership with OTIA covers
“Our golf outing apparel and tumblers landed at the course the morning of the event with time to spare. Sponsors saw their logos exactly the way they approved them. That kind of reliability is worth a lot.”

Questions we hear about event apparel & merchandise
How fast can you turn around event apparel?
Typical 72-hour production once artwork is approved. We can move faster on rush — talk to us about your event date and we'll tell you what's realistic. Because all decoration is in-house, we control the schedule, not a third-party decorator.
What's the deadline for placing an event order?
Depends on the event size and your event date. For a conference of 200 in 3 weeks, we have plenty of time. For 500 sponsor polos in 5 days, we'd need to talk. Bring us your timeline and we'll tell you honestly if we can hit it.
Can you handle multiple sponsor logos?
Yes. Multi-logo events are common. We'll lay out the placement (front chest, sleeve, back) based on sponsor tiers and run a proof for each sponsor's logo before production.
Where do you ship event apparel?
To your event venue, your event coordinator, your event team's home or office, or directly to sponsors and attendees. Many events do venue drop-ship for general apparel and home shipping for VIP gifts.
