PPAI

2025

If you’ve ever wondered where the boldest brands, wildest ideas, and sharpest swag collide—welcome to the main event. PPAI Expo 2025 wasn’t just a tradeshow. It was a masterclass in what’s next for merch.

From puff prints that stopped people in their tracks to fully custom kits that had folks asking “Wait, can I steal this?”, Drip showed up and showed off. Because in a sea of sameness, we believe your brand deserves to stand out like a neon sign on the Strip.

This section rounds up our most crowd-stopping, client-loved, “how’d-they-do-that?” hits from the floor. It’s the stuff that had distributors double-tapping, creative directors geeking out over embroidery details, and first timers swearing they’d never go back to boring.

Straight from Vegas to your hands—we brought the heat. Now it’s your turn to run with it. n

yes, you ca make shoes!

How does it work?

Ready to order?

When it comes to branded promo goods, decoration style isn’t just a finishing touch—it’s your brand’s personality showing up front and center.

By picking the right technique—whether that’s bold screen printing, luxe foil stamping, or textured embroidery—you turn everyday swag into something people actually want to hold onto. Think of it as storytelling through design: a glossy foil detail can make a notebook feel like a limited-edition must-have, while a raised embroidery on a hat gives off premium vibes. Nail your decoration style, and your merch becomes a conversation starter—one that gets your brand noticed, remembered, and loved.

At Drip, we believe that how you decorate is just as important as what you decorate. This catalog is

NOW TRENDING

In 2025, two major trends are shaping the industry: sustainability and tone-on-tone decoration. With consumers demanding greener, ethically sourced products, brands are responding with eco-friendly materials like recycled plastics, upcycled fabrics, and biodegradable packaging. At the same time, tone-on-tone branding is redefining product aesthetics, offering a minimalist, high-end look that feels more like designer merchandise than traditional swag.

This new era of promotional products blends purpose with polish, ensuring that giveaways aren’t just kept but cherished, used, and admired.

Tone-On-Tone Tone-on-tone decoration involves branding products in a color that’s just slightly different from the base material.

Think matte black-on-black, navy-on-navy, or a soft beige logo on a cream tote bag.

The result? A sleek, modern aesthetic that seamlessly integrates with the product rather than standing out in a traditional, bold way.

Eco-Friendly Everything

Think recycled materials, biodegradable swag, and reusable products (like wheat straw tech accessories or upcycled tote bags).
