When it comes to brand representation, aligning with reliable, high-quality branding partners is non-negotiable-especially when gifting plays a major role in client experience. At Lavender + Pine, we intentionally outsource all branding and promotional product needs to industry-leading vendors. Why? Because our clients deserve nothing short of the best-vendors with years of expertise, vast product capabilities, and top-tier service.
In this post, we're highlighting our three preferred branding vendors for custom promotional products:
Sticker Mule, iPromo, and 4imprint. Whether you're curating branded items for events, welcome gifts, or internal team appreciation, these vendors deliver excellence every time.
-
Sticker Mule – Custom Labels, Packaging & More
Sticker Mule is a go-to for high-quality, fast-turnaround custom stickers, labels, magnets, and branded packaging tape. We especially love how user-friendly their ordering platform is-perfect for both large projects and quick reorders.
-
Seamless online proofing & editing
-
Fast shipping + consistent product quality
-
Small-batch minimums make this great for curated gifting
-
Excellent for branded packaging tape, die-cut stickers, coasters, and more
Whether you need on-brand accents for your client welcome gifts or eye-catching shipping tape for an unboxing moment, Sticker Mule delivers.

4imprint is a long-time industry leader known for its broad selection and customer-first approach. From tradeshow giveaways to client swag, they offer thousands of branded items across all price points.

Why We Don’t Bring This In-House
Many clients ask why Lavender + Pine doesn’t offer branding capabilities internally. The answer? Focus. We specialize in luxury gift design, packaging, and fulfillment-not manufacturing or sourcing branded merchandise. Our vendor partners already offer:
-
Better pricing through volume
-
Product diversity we couldn’t match in-house
-
Dedicated account reps and production experts
By outsourcing, we ensure you get premium branded products without sacrificing service or quality. It’s a win for your timeline and your budget.
