We wanted our new employee onboarding packs to feel special, not like a corporate obligation. Stuart helped us design high-quality apparel and eco-friendly notebooks that our team actually wants to use. The design quality is so high that new hires consistently post their ‘unboxing' photos on LinkedIn on their first day. It has done wonders for our employer brand reputation.

We used to buy the standard cheap pens and stress balls for our trade shows, and honestly, they usually ended up in the bin. Inkbot Design transformed our approach. They designed a branded ‘Delegate Survival Kit' that was visually stunning and genuinely useful. We actually had people coming over from competitor booths just to ask how to get one. It was the best lead generation tool we’ve ever deployed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of promotional products do you design?
We specialise in designing a comprehensive range of promotional products and branded promotional materials for UK businesses. Our expertise covers custom promotional items, including branded pens, notebooks, tote bags, and tech accessories, as well as printed promotional products such as flyers, brochures, banners, and exhibition displays. We also create promotional materials for events, corporate gifts, trade show giveaways, and seasonal marketing campaigns. Whether you need a single promotional item designed or an entire coordinated campaign, our team develops bespoke solutions tailored to your brand identity and marketing objectives.
How long does the promotional design process typically take?
The timeline for promotional design services varies depending on project complexity and scope. Simple promotional items, such as branded pens or basic flyers, typically require 3-5 working days for design completion. More complex branded promotional materials, such as exhibition stands, product packaging, or comprehensive campaign materials, usually take 1-2 weeks. For large-scale projects involving multiple custom promotional products, we recommend allowing 2-3 weeks for the complete design process. We always provide realistic timelines during our initial consultation and can accommodate urgent requirements when necessary, though rush jobs may incur additional fees.
Do you handle both design and production of promotional materials?
Yes, we offer a complete end-to-end service for promotional products design and production. While our core expertise lies in creating exceptional designs for promotional items and branded promotional materials, we work with trusted UK-based suppliers and manufacturers to handle production, printing, and delivery. This streamlined approach ensures quality control throughout the entire process and provides you with a single point of contact for your promotional design projects. We manage supplier relationships, quality checks, and logistics, so you can focus on your business whilst we handle the complexities of bringing your custom promotional products to life.
What's the minimum order quantity for custom promotional items?
Minimum order quantities for custom promotional items vary significantly depending on the specific product and printing method required. For basic promotional products, such as branded pens or keyrings, minimum quantities typically start at 100 units. More specialised branded promotional materials, such as custom notebooks or tech accessories, usually require minimum orders of 250-500 pieces. However, we understand that smaller businesses may need lower quantities, so we work with suppliers who can accommodate orders as small as 50 units for certain promotional items, though unit costs will be higher. During our consultation, we'll advise on the most cost-effective quantities for your specific promotional design requirements.
Can you work with our existing brand guidelines?
Absolutely. We excel at creating promotional products and branded promotional materials that seamlessly integrate with established brand identities. Our design team meticulously follows existing brand guidelines, ensuring consistent use of logos, colour palettes, typography, and messaging across all promotional items. We can work with brand guidelines in any format – from comprehensive brand manuals to simple logo files. If your guidelines need updating or expanding to cover promotional materials, we can assist with developing additional brand standards specifically for promotional applications. This ensures every custom promotional product reinforces your brand recognition and maintains professional consistency.
What's included in your promotional design consultation?
Our complimentary consultation for promotional design services includes a comprehensive review of your marketing objectives, a detailed analysis of your target audience, and budget considerations. We'll discuss your specific requirements for promotional products, examine your existing brand materials, and provide expert recommendations on the most effective promotional items for your campaigns. During the session, we'll present case studies of successful branded promotional materials we've created for similar businesses, outline our design process, and provide preliminary concepts where appropriate. You'll receive a detailed proposal outlining recommended custom promotional products, timelines, and transparent pricing with no hidden costs.
How do you ensure promotional designs stand out from competitors?
Our approach to creating distinctive promotional products combines strategic market research with innovative design thinking. We begin by analysing your competitors' promotional materials to identify opportunities for differentiation, then develop unique concepts that reflect your brand personality whilst appealing to your target audience. Our designers focus on creating branded promotional items that are both visually striking and functionally valuable, ensuring recipients actually use and retain your promotional products. We employ cutting-edge design techniques, premium materials specifications, and innovative printing methods to ensure your custom promotional items command attention and create lasting impressions that drive business results.
Do you offer eco-friendly promotional product options?
Yes, sustainability is increasingly important for UK businesses, and we're committed to offering environmentally responsible promotional products and branded promotional materials. We work with suppliers who provide eco-friendly options, including recycled materials, biodegradable plastics, sustainable textiles, and FSC-certified paper products. Popular sustainable promotional items include bamboo tech accessories, recycled cotton tote bags, seed paper business cards, and reusable water bottles made from recycled materials. We can advise on the most suitable eco-friendly custom promotional products for your campaigns whilst ensuring they maintain the quality and visual impact necessary for effective brand promotion.
