Promotional Items include but are not limited to swag, tablecloths, pop-up banners, flyers and brochures. Campus offices and departments often wish to purchase branded material for a variety of purposes — giveaways, recruiting events and more. There are a few requirements to keep in mind when planning any purchase of merchandise that includes BSU or NTC names, logos, word marks or official colors:
- All purchases must be made from an officially licensed vendor. Local manufacturers, including Amity Graphics, Skeeter Stitch and Cool Threads, are typically licensed. Amity Graphics has access to an extensive catalog of promotional items and can fulfill most needs. Several print-on-order online companies are also licensed vendors and can be used. CustomInk is one commonly used online vendor.
- For paper material such as brochures or booklets, both Amity Graphics and Arrow Printing offer high quality, affordable local services and have the capacity to meet most needs.
- Designs for your items, which show usage and placement of BSU and NTC names, logos, word marks or official colors, must be approved before an order can be placed. Licensed vendors submit item designs for OCM approval using an online system provided by CLC, the company which manages our licensing and trademark management programs.
- OCM can assist with complex design requirements and can help identify artwork that is appropriately sized for the imprint areas of the items you are ordering.
- Please include time for approvals — including time to revise designs if necessary — into your planning processes.
