SwagShops vs 4imprint
4imprint is a promotional products supplier: a very large catalog you buy from in bulk, decorated and shipped to one address. SwagShops is a branded company store where individual people order for themselves and items are produced on demand, with kits and held inventory when you want them. If you are buying a thousand pens for a trade show, a promo catalog is the right tool. If your problem is distributing gear to staff, new hires or customers over time, a store solves the part a bulk order leaves you with.

FAQ
Is SwagShops cheaper than buying in bulk?
Per unit, a large bulk run is usually cheaper. The comparison worth doing is delivered cost including leftovers, storage and the time spent distributing — that is where on-demand ordering often catches up.
Can SwagShops handle promotional giveaway items too?
Yes — bulk programmes are supported with held inventory when you genuinely want stock on hand for an event.
Do I have to pick sizes up front?
No. On a store or a redeem link each person selects their own size, so you are not estimating a size mix.
