Bulk Branded

You can build a basket of branded products on the Bulk Branded website, see prices as you customise, and then either pay online or request one quote for the whole basket. Its homepage says orders start from 10 units. You can add your artwork while ordering or choose to supply it later.

Bulk Branded is an online branded merchandise shop based in London. It sells products personalised with a customer’s logo to businesses, teams and events, and says it works with businesses of every size. It is listed in the BPMA distributor directory. Its catalogue is arranged by product type, with collections for bags, pens, drinkware, notebooks, clothing, backpacks and umbrellas. It also runs a free rewards scheme that it says returns 3 to 5% of qualifying spend as credit towards a later order.

Product pages list specifications such as material, country of origin, dimensions, weight and units per carton. Each page also offers a downloadable specification sheet covering branding options and sustainability information. The homepage suggests putting a tote, a notebook and a pen together for events, and building a welcome pack for new starters. Our guide to staff welcome packs and swag boxes covers that kind of order.

Trade accounts and ordering

The company describes three steps. First you choose the product, colour and quantity. Then you add branding positions and artwork. Finally you either place the order or request a quote from the basket. Starting prices are per unbranded item at the quantity shown, and branding is not included in those prices. Configuring a product shows the total with your chosen branding and delivery. Minimums vary by product: some are listed with no minimum quantity and others at 50 units. Each product shows an estimated delivery date, and the basket states that UK delivery is included. You can ask for a visual to preview your branding, and the site advises checking the branding methods and maximum print areas on each product.

For a larger order, the company asks for your quantity, budget and deadline so its team can help you choose. Our guide on how to brief a promotional merchandise supplier sets out what to include. Products and quotes are on the Bulk Branded website.
