Looking for companies that print company logos on stuff

Factual Questions
1

My employer is looking to maybe have a set of clothes we (the employees) can buy, which have the company logo. The previous clothing distributors we’ve dealt with have been less than satisfactory. Apparently our Canadian branch has a really nice line but there’s issues with the whole international shipping thing so we need to find out own distributor.

Are there companies which deal with smallish companies, making shirts, jackets, etc? I’m sure they’d prefer if the stuff wasn’t horribly expensive for us to buy. The t-shirts we got last summer were about $10 each. The coats were more, obviously. If they make things other than clothes, that would be great too (pens and stuff).

Cafe Press does that sort of thing. You can order customized shirts, caps, coffee mugs, etc.

Our company works with Land’s End – they’re one of the leaders in logo’ed apparel.

For pens and such, we use 4imprint (www.4imprint.com).

I can recommend both these companies.

My cousin runs Digital Lagoon, which, among other things, does large format printing. They have an amazing printing mechanism which can make prints on most every surface. You want your company logo on dartboards? Banners? Flags? Yeah, probably even t-shirts. They can even print it in three dimensions if you want.

Here’s a bunch of them near you.

It looks like Loremans is a big one in Plattsburgh.

Seems like you’ll be covered with the suggestions so far, but I’ve noticed there are tons of ads for these places in airline in-flight magazines.
