EMBROIDERY & SCREEN PRINTING NETWORK also offers an incredible array of custom logo promotional products covering the business, travel, gift and personal accessories categories!
While the majority of items are SCREEN PRINTED or EMBROIDERED on our premises, non-textile and/or irregularly shaped items are printed by one of the many companies that we are affiliated with by being a distributor with Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI). These items we call "Advertising Specialties". There are literally thousands of products that fall into this category. All types of glassware (mugs, ceramic coffee mugs, shot glasses, etc.), plastic products (Frisbees, mugs, license plate holders, key chains, golf markers, sport bottles etc.), pens, lanyards, magnets, sport balls, golf balls, buttons and portfolios are just a short list of our advertising specialties.
PROMOMART is a search program that will enable you to go on-line
to access thousands of products/suppliers catalogs. By entering a "keyword" in the "search" box, anyone is capable of locating all of
the products in that category. The first time that one enters this
site, they will be asked to create an account. This is a simple step
where name, e-mail address and password are entered. Once you have
established an account, you can access a large number of supplier
catalogs. Since these particular companies only accept orders from
ASI distributors (EMBROIDERY & SCREEN PRINTING NETWORK has been a
distributor for many years), once a promotional product(s) is located
you will need to CONTACT US for price and availability. Note that
while many of these suppliers show recommended prices these are exclusive
of shipping and setup charges and should only be used as a "ballpark" price.

There are hundreds of suppliers who provide custom imprinting on thousands
of different products. While many companies may offer similar
products, there are a few things to consider when deciding on which
one is the best choice.
Here are a few items that play a role in selecting a supplier:
1- Suppliers have a minimum order quantity. This varies from supplier
to supplier. Some companies will do a lesser amount by paying a less
than minimum charge.
2- Suppliers have a standard turnaround time. Again, this varies from
supplier to supplier. Some companies will supply items quicker with
a "rush charge". In addition to production time, shipping time must
be considered.
3- Some suppliers are better than others in terms of
the quality of their finished product, how well they meet their delivery
requirements or the price of the product they sell. In addition, not
all suppliers will sell products in every color.
NOT ALL DISTRIBUTORS ARE ALIKE!!!
The majority of advertising specialty companies do not sell directly
to the consumer. They rely on a network of distributors like EMBROIDERY & SCREEN PRINTING NETWORK to sell their products.
We pride ourselves as being an excellent ASI distributor for a
number of reasons:
- We have an excellent computer program that enables us to search and locate every supplier that sells every product in the ASI network. You tell us what you are interested in, and we'll find every supplier that produces that product in the color you want and at the best possible price. If time is of the essence, we have the ability to locate the suppliers who can meet your delivery requirement.
- In addition to this computer program, we have an excellent filing system that allows us to access catalogs for most ASI suppliers
- As an ASI distributor for more than 10 years, we have established affiliations with hundreds of suppliers. We are knowledgeable on quality of their product offerings, their service toward consumers and how to ensure that your order is delivered on time.
- Like we do with orders that are done in house, we have a well established process for managing orders to make sure that each order is delivered on time and is what the customer expects.
- Finally, because we have a talented, experienced in house art staff we know how to format the artwork, so that it can be imprinted on the promotional product, whatever it might be.
