The Smarter Way to Do Swag On Demand Without the Price Tag Shock

The Swag Industry’s Big Problem — and Merchloop’s Smart Solution

Swag should be fun — the cozy hoodie everyone wears to Zoom meetings, the tumbler that becomes a daily favorite, the welcome gift that makes new hires feel instantly part of the team.

But behind that feel-good branded gear? The old swag industry has been kind of a mess. Too many middlemen, too many markups, and way too many headaches for something that’s supposed to bring people joy.

That’s where Merchloop comes in.

Merchloop makes company swag smarter, faster, and way more affordable. With on-demand production, no minimum orders, and pricing at or below MSRP, Merchloop helps companies of every size look great and spend smarter.

And here’s the real game changer: Merchloop is vertically integrated. That means no middlemen. The team creates the stores, decorates every item, and fulfills all orders from their own facilities. The result? Faster service, total flexibility, and real cost savings.

If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be a better way to do swag,” you’re absolutely right. And that better way is Merchloop — on-demand swag without the price tag shock.

What “On Demand” Really Means (and Why It’s a Big Deal)

In the traditional swag world, you order in bulk, store extra boxes in a closet, and hope you guessed everyone’s sizes correctly. It’s wasteful, slow, and anything but modern.

Merchloop does things differently.

With on-demand production, items are created only when they’re ordered. No overstock, no storage, no waste — just perfectly timed, perfectly branded gear every time.

Here’s how that changes everything:

• No minimums. Need one jacket or 100? You’ve got options.

• Fast turnaround. Because production happens in-house, there’s no waiting on third parties.

• Less waste. You only make what’s actually needed.

• Better pricing. Without markups from middlemen, you get top-quality swag for less.

It’s smarter for your brand, your budget, and your sanity.

Vertical Integration: The Secret to Merchloop’s Efficiency

Here’s a little industry secret: most swag vendors are just coordinators. They buy blank products from one place, send them to a separate decorator, then hire another company to handle shipping. By the time your team’s t-shirts arrive, they’ve passed through multiple hands — and each one added its own markup.

Merchloop decided to skip that chaos.

By being vertically integrated, Merchloop owns the entire process.

• In-house decoration: Every shirt, hoodie, and hat is printed or embroidered directly in Merchloop’s own facility.

• In-house store creation: Each online store is built and managed by the Merchloop team, completely customized for your brand.

• In-house fulfillment: Orders are packed and shipped from the same facility — no outsourcing, no confusion.

This all-in-one approach keeps quality consistent, turnaround times fast, and prices refreshingly low. You’re not paying for extra steps you don’t need. You’re paying for results.

How Merchloop Saves Time, Money, and Stress

Let’s be honest — swag should make your team proud, not make your admin team sweat.

Traditional swag programs mean dealing with vendors, managing bulk inventory, chasing invoices, and tracking shipments. Merchloop eliminates all that.

Here’s the difference in action:

Merchloop’s streamlined model makes it easy to manage company swag without juggling spreadsheets or stockrooms. Everything just works — quickly, beautifully, and affordably.

Premium Brands Without Premium Prices

High-quality swag doesn’t have to mean high prices. Merchloop partners with top retail brands like Nike, TravisMathew, The North Face, Marine Layer, and Carhartt, giving businesses access to premium gear at or below MSRP.

That’s almost unheard of in this industry. Most vendors mark up these products significantly. Merchloop can offer lower prices because there are no outside decorators or fulfillment centers adding costs along the way.

So when your team receives a sleek Nike pullover or a soft Marine Layer tee, you’re giving them retail-quality gear — at a price that just makes sense.

That’s the beauty of doing swag the smart way.

A Store Experience Everyone Actually Enjoys

Your company store shouldn’t look or feel like a clunky afterthought. Merchloop’s stores are built to be as simple and intuitive as your favorite online shopping experience — clean, organized, and custom-branded to reflect your company’s personality.

For Employees

They can log in, choose what they want, and order directly. No size spreadsheets, no awkward guesswork, and no waiting for HR to manually process requests.

The whole system is built for ease — making swag as enjoyable to manage as it is to receive.

For Startups, Enterprises, and Everyone In Between

Merchloop’s flexibility makes it perfect for any size organization.

• Startups can launch a sleek company store without having to manage inventory or hit minimums.

• Mid-sized teams can centralize swag management across departments and campaigns.

• Large enterprises can run multiple stores with regional fulfillment and branded collections.

No wasted inventory. No complicated logistics. Just the right swag, at the right time.

Smart Swag That’s Better for the Planet

On-demand swag isn’t just efficient — it’s sustainable.

Because products are made only when they’re ordered, there’s no overproduction, no unused leftovers, and no piles of outdated merch collecting dust in storage. It’s a cleaner, greener way to create branded items that people actually want.

So while your team enjoys their new gear, you can feel good knowing your company’s reducing waste and supporting more responsible production.

That’s smart business on every level.

Real Results: Faster, Cheaper, Happier

Let’s put it into perspective.

A tech startup used to order bulk hoodies for onboarding. Minimums were high, storage was a nightmare, and they always ran out of popular sizes. After switching to Merchloop, they now send each new hire a custom hoodie on demand.

The result?

• Orders take days, not weeks.

• Costs dropped by 35%.

• The new hire experience instantly leveled up.

Or take a national healthcare organization that switched from juggling multiple vendors to using Merchloop’s centralized system. Now, each department has its own online store with instant fulfillment. No back-and-forth, no lost boxes, no wasted time.

Merchloop doesn’t just make swag cheaper — it makes it simpler.
