We don’t expect our clients to know every branding method or know which will work best for their promotional item they’ve chosen, that’s our job! We work with many different suppliers to ensure you are always getting the best methos of branding by an expert in their field. Here are all the methods currently being used

Embossing – Stamping into a product to either leave a clear stamp mark of the logo or foil blocking with gold or silver foil Pad Printing – Some know this method as tampo printing. Great for 1 or 2 colour to be printed on flat as well as round objects.

Ethical sourcing is becoming more and more important for everyone, including ourselves. That is why we have an ethical sourcing policy, so you can be sure you are working with people who understand the importance of maintaining and helping our planet grow and thrive. Our factories have routine testing in place so we are sure we are always working with the right people who share our ethos.

We follow the recommendations set out by CIPS (Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply) to ensure best practice. CIPS recommends going beyond the normal scheduled, clipboard-based site visit and advises telling key suppliers that your organisation has a right to audit their business unannounced.

This is the Manic way. Don’t leave ethical sourcing to chance.
