What Changes the Price
Quantity
The more you order, the lower the price per item. Setup costs are spread across more pieces.
Decoration & colors
Printing method, number of logo colors and imprint locations all change the price. Embroidery and full-color prints cost more than a one-color imprint.
Product & brand
A name-brand jacket costs more than a basic tee. We can show good, better and best options side by side.
Deadline
Standard turnaround is 5–10 business days after mockup approval. Tight deadlines may limit choices or add rush charges on some items.
Shipping & packing
Shipping to one office is simpler than shipping individual kits to remote employees. We include this in your quote.
Minimums
Minimum order quantities vary by product, and many items have low minimums, so smaller orders are possible.

What is the minimum order for promotional products?
Minimum order quantities vary by product. Many items have low minimums, and Swag4Brands works with businesses of all sizes — from small startups to large companies and government agencies.
Why does the price per item go down when I order more?
Most decorated products have setup work (like preparing a screen or embroidery file) that costs about the same whether you order 50 or 500. Spreading that setup over more pieces lowers the price of each one.
Are design and mockups extra?
No. Swag4Brands includes free design help and a digital mockup with every order, so you see exactly how your logo will look before anything is produced.
How can I get the most out of a small swag budget?
Pick one useful item people will keep (like a tumbler or tote) instead of several cheap ones, keep your logo to one or two colors, order a bit more to lower the unit price, and give yourself the standard 5–10 business days so you are not paying for rush.
