\u00a0<\/b>2022 Year in Review<\/span><\/h1>\n

There was plenty to celebrate this year at Custom Ink: we\u2019ve added tons of new products, tools and services; helped communities raise money for a whole slew of great causes; celebrated our customers with customer stories; and opened a slate of online stores. While we were working away we even managed to acquire the swag management platform Printfection and earn recognition for being a great place to work. <\/span><\/p>\n

We couldn\u2019t have done it without you! Thanks for supporting us along the way. We\u2019re so excited to see what 2023 brings. But first, let\u2019s take a closer look back at the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Printfection Joins Custom Ink!<\/span><\/h4>\n

At the beginning of 2022, we acquired <\/span>Printfection<\/span><\/a>. Along with last year\u2019s addition of <\/span>Swag.com<\/span><\/a>, this partnership expands our ability to best serve our business customers. \u201c<\/span>Like Swag.com, which joined us in November, Printfection is a pioneer in swag management, and we believe they\u2019ve built the leading platform for enterprise customers,\u201d said our co-founder, Marc Katz. \u201cIn bringing together Printfection\u2019s powerful enterprise solution with Swag.com\u2019s awesome self-service model and Custom Ink\u2019s own robust platform and scale, we\u2019ve assembled a pretty incredible combination of talent, technology, and capabilities to meet the end-to-end swag needs of companies and organizations.\u201d Check out the <\/span>press release here<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Adding 700+ New Products<\/span><\/h4>\n

This year, we added more than 700 new products, bringing our total number of available products to more than 3,700 across 100+ categories! That includes our top-sellers like t-shirts, sweatshirts, activewear, hats, and bags, and it also adds to our growing lineup of more than 300 sustainable items. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Launching 500+ Online Stores<\/span><\/h4>\n

Another exciting development for Custom Ink this year was launching over 500 online stores. Online stores allow you to send custom gear directly to your team, group, or fans, and offer different designs on multiple products. Using online stores is a great way to boost your brand and stay connected!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Expanding Your Design Experience<\/span><\/h4>\n

We\u2019ve added more than 4,000 new pieces of art, about 200 new templates, and 42 new fonts to our offerings, which means creating the perfect design for your company or team is now easier than ever. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Creating 4,000+ Custom Designs<\/span><\/h4>\n

There\u2019s nothing we love more than helping people bring their groups together around custom gear. That\u2019s why we\u2019re proud to have helped bring more than 4,000 custom designs to life, including 1,000 custom designs and 3,000 design upgrades. Our <\/span>design services<\/span><\/a> team and <\/span>Design Lab<\/span><\/a> can help take your project over the finish line, whether it\u2019s in the idea stage or you\u2019re just looking to punch up an existing design. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sharing 21 Customer Stories<\/span><\/h4>\n

We featured 21 of our inspiring customers this year, sharing stories of how they <\/span>promoted<\/span><\/a> their businesses, <\/span>raised funds and awareness<\/span><\/a>, or creatively <\/span>supported their communities<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Four<\/a><\/p>\n

Helping Raise More Than $6.5M in Fundraising<\/span><\/h4>\n

Here\u2019s more proof that our customers and their supporters are the best: in 2022, they raised more than $6.5 million for causes they care about with our <\/span>free fundraising platform<\/span><\/a>! The custom gear created for these campaigns will continue to generate support and awareness for their causes whenever they\u2019re worn out and about\u2014an added benefit of fundraising with custom items.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Generating 455 Team Names and Slogans<\/span><\/h4>\n

While we take our work pretty seriously, we also have a passion for tackling one of the more lighthearted sides of custom gear creation: helping out with names and slogans. Whether you\u2019re naming your <\/span>small group<\/span><\/a> or your <\/span>sewing club<\/span><\/a>, we\u2019re happy to brainstorm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earning Recognition for Our Hard Work<\/span><\/h4>\n

We hold ourselves to a high standard of accountability when it comes to creating a great workplace. It\u2019s one of the ways we can ensure that we\u2019re living our values as an inclusive community company. That\u2019s why we\u2019re very proud to have earned three distinguished awards in 2022 that let us know we\u2019re on the right track:<\/span><\/p>\n
