Resources for Custom Promotional Gift Buyers

Practical Guides for Ordering, Artwork Preparation and Common Questions

Custom promotional gift sourcing takes more than picking a product and placing an order. You need to know what file formats work for production, how the ordering process moves from artwork to delivery, and what to expect on MOQ, timelines and payment. Badge Artisans put these resources together so distributors, corporate buyers, event companies, gift companies and importers can get project-ready before sending an inquiry.
Whether you are ordering custom metal gifts for the first time, need to check artwork file specifications, or want quick answers on production and shipping, this resource center gives you practical guides. No sales pitch — just the information you need to plan your project.

Why Review These Resources Before Ordering

The most common friction in custom sourcing comes from missing information. The buyer does not know what to provide. The supplier asks for details one by one. Spending ten minutes with the How to Order guide and Artwork Guidelines means your inquiry lands complete — a faster quote, fewer back-and-forth messages, and a quicker project start.

FAQ is not a replacement for talking to our team. It is a decision accelerator. What is the MOQ? How long does production take? Can I get a sample? How does payment work? The answers should be available before the buyer needs to ask. Our FAQ draws from 15 years of factory experience and covers the 20+ questions our team answers most often.

If you are a distributor or agency recommending products to your own clients, these resources are built to share. Factory-written content helps you build trust with your customers.
