Customised Branded Merchandise Every Office Should Have

Every office should keep a smart selection of customised branded merchandise that showcases the company name and logo. The right mix not only builds team spirit but also works as everyday, low-cost advertising your staff and visitors see (and use) constantly.

Why Customised Branded Merchandise Matters

In a world where almost anything can be customised, choosing the right items for your brand is key. Practical, good-looking merch gets used often, keeps your logo in circulation, and signals quality. Below are office-friendly ideas you can deploy right away — with product suggestions from BrandsUp woven in.

Start With Culture & Daily Use

Your office merch should reflect how your team actually works. Consider the rhythm of a typical day — meetings, note-taking, hot-desking, quick errands — and pick pieces they’ll reach for first.

• Notebooks they’ll bring to every meeting: An A5 Soft Cover Notebook pairs perfectly with your CI colours and a simple deboss or print.
• Pens that write smoothly (and look the part): Stock a premium option like the Elegance Metal Pen for client-facing teams and a reliable giveaway like the Dart Branded Pen for volume events.
• Grab-and-go carry: Keep a stack of Canvas Shopping Totes or the natural-look Cotton Calico Shopping Bag for quick site visits, samples, or event packs.

Desk & Meeting Essentials

Little touches around the desk and boardroom make your brand feel cohesive without trying too hard.

• Hydration that travels: The sleek Kinetic Water Bottle keeps branding in hand all day; need ultra-portable? Try the Excel Foldable Stainless Steel Water Bottle.
• Keep the boardroom tidy: Add branded coasters like the Round Cork Coaster to protect surfaces and subtly showcase your logo.
• Presentation-ready sound: A compact Bluetooth Speaker (Coloured Silicone Band) is handy for small gatherings and impromptu demos.

On-the-Move Tech & Bags

Mobile teams need practical, durable gear that still looks sharp at a client visit.

• Everyday carry: The Business Laptop Backpack has room for devices, notebooks, and a change of kit — perfect for hybrid work.
• Quick gym or field trips: Issue a lightweight Unisex Drawstring Bag for wellness days, volunteer events, or giveaways.

Kitchen & Break-Area Touches

Small communal spaces are high-visibility branding zones — keep them tasteful and useful.

• Team lunches & offsites: A branded Hertum Cooler Bag is brilliant for catering runs, picnics, and wellness activations.
• Seasonal comfort: For winter coffee runs or outdoor activations, add the Knitted Cuff Beanie to staff packs.

Outdoor & Field Branding

If your team works outside or attends open-air events, choose pieces that solve real problems and look great doing it.

• Sun & glare: Hand out branded Sunglasses for installs, site visits, or summer campaigns.
• Rain or shine: The Double-Canopy Golf Umbrella keeps teams dry and signage-sized branding on show.

Event-Ready & Rewards

When it’s time to host a client day, reward a target, or kit out a team, dial up the perceived value.

• Summer activations & staff rewards: An XL Sublimated Beach Towel delivers big, vivid branding and gets used for years.
• Premium writing set-ups: Pair the Elegance Metal Pen with your A5 Notebook for onboarding or milestone gifts.

How to Build Your Office Merch Mix

1. Pick daily-use heroes: Notebook + pen + bottle is the never-fail core set.
2. Add movement pieces: A tote or backpack keeps your brand moving beyond the office.
3. Layer seasonally: Beanies, sunglasses, or umbrellas depending on campaigns.
4. Keep a giveaway drawer: Stock drawstring bags, entry-level pens, and coasters for walk-in opportunities.
