Introduction
When it comes to branded merch, details matter. Your product says something about your company before a word is spoken. At Brand+Aid®, we make sure that the message is clear, intentional, and impossible to ignore.
We’re not a catalog company. We’re a full-service merchandise agency built for brands that want to stand out, not blend in.
A Creative-First Approach
Most companies in this space operate like order-takers. You pick from a list of stock items, upload your logo, and hope for the best. We take a completely different approach.
Every project we work on starts with thoughtful, brand-specific concepting. We build custom product decks that align with your identity and goals. Our in-house team of designers, account managers, and production experts handles everything from idea to execution with precision and care.
Custom Means Custom
We don’t just decorate products. We build them. If you want custom apparel, we can cut and sew it from scratch. If you want packaging that feels like a true unboxing moment, we’ll design everything from magnetic closure boxes to laser-cut foam inserts and tissue paper printed with your logo.
Our capabilities also include private label manufacturing, full-service kitting, influencer-ready mailers, licensed merch management, and webstore development. Whether you’re outfitting a team, launching a new brand, or creating an experience for an event, we make sure it feels completely yours.
Service That Feels Like an Extension of Your Team
With Brand+Aid®, you’re never passed off to a generic rep. You get a dedicated team; a real one. That includes a lead designer, account executive, coordinator, and production manager who understand your brand and proactively manage every detail.
We don’t leave you guessing. We stay hands-on, communicative, and focused on making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Designed to Scale, Without Sacrificing Quality
We’ve produced custom merch for some of the most visible brands in the world. Our clients range from global names like Nike and SKIMS to scrappy startups doing big things with small teams. Regardless of size, the standard stays the same: elevated design, seamless logistics, and standout execution.
So What About the Other Guys?
Let’s be honest, there are plenty of vendors who can put your logo on a pen. But here’s what they can’t do:
They can’t build a full apparel line from scratch that looks like something you'd find in a retail store.
They can’t create fully customized packaging that makes your product feel like a premium experience.
They can’t give you a team of real creatives and brand anthropologists who get your brand and bring it to life.
They won’t guide you from idea to delivery with a high-touch process designed to make you look great.
And they won’t fix issues immediately if something goes wrong, because their model wasn’t built to care.
The other guys sell products. We build branded experiences.
Conclusion
Let’s make something people want to keep!
If you’re ready to ditch the basic swag and start creating merch that moves people, Brand+Aid® is the partner you’ve been looking for.
