Custom products built for your brand, from idea to factory — merch, promo, campaign products and in-house collections. Brandix handles sourcing, prototyping, quality control and logistics.
Custom manufacturing starts where the standard range ends. You want your own color, your own cut, your own material or a completely new product that does not exist on the market — trade show giveaways, merchandise collections, campaign products, packaging and special promotional items are the most typical cases.
In custom work, Brandix sits between the brand and the factory: we define the brief, produce the technical specs, source samples, oversee quality and handle logistics. We work with a vetted supplier network in Europe and the Far East, built over years — we do not kick off work with unknown factories.
We deliver custom projects to clients across Finland. Design and coordination happen from our Espoo office, and products ship either directly to the client or to our warehouse for further processing. Minimum order quantities depend on the product — typically 100–300 pieces for textiles and 250–1,000 pieces for promotional items.

Logistics and warehousing in Finland after production
The brand’s own models for sale in an online shop or at events — t-shirts, hoodies, pouches, bottles, caps. Custom work covers garment design, labels, packaging and hangtags.
Launch kits, VIP gifts, event giveaways. Often a relatively small one-off run (100–500 pieces) where uniqueness matters more than unit price.
Mugs, bottles, bags, keyrings, pens — branded promotional products in large runs. Unit cost drops quickly past 500+ pieces.
A fully custom garment with the brand’s own cut, color and label. A fit for corporate clients with a long-term need that off-the-shelf collections cannot meet.
Retail-ready boxes, wraps, inner papers, hangtags and price labels. Packaging is part of the brand experience and raises perceived product value.
Branded safety helmets, branded tool bags, specialty rain jackets — when a product requires certifications (CE, EN) or specialty materials, we handle the documentation as part of delivery.
Kick-off meeting: what the product is, who it is for, the budget and the deadline. We define the technical requirements (material, size, color, packaging) and commercial boundaries (unit price, minimum run, delivery terms). This stage typically takes 1–2 weeks.
We select 2–3 candidate suppliers from our network — different price tiers, different geographies, different strengths. We collect comparable quotes and present them to the client with our recommendation.
We order one or more prototype pieces from the supplier. The sample ships to Brandix, which inspects quality and forwards it to the client for approval. Revisions and a new sample follow if needed — this stage takes 3–6 weeks depending on country of manufacture.
Once the sample is approved, production kicks off. On large orders we use pre-shipment inspection (PSI) either with our own agent or an external inspector — this is insurance against quality issues before goods are dispatched.
The finished product ships either directly to the client’s warehouse, to our warehouse for further processing (e.g. embroidery or packaging) or directly to end users in Finland.
Coordination from our Espoo office, deliveries nationwide. Far East production typically runs 8–14 weeks from brief to delivery, and EU production 4–8 weeks.

It depends on the product. Full textile customization (own cut and material) typically starts at 300 pieces. Modifying an existing model (own color, own label) is feasible at 100 pieces. For promotional products (mugs, bottles) the typical MOQ is 250–1,000 pieces depending on the item. Branding a standard collection is not custom manufacturing — that MOQ is 10 pieces.
EU production is typically 6–10 weeks from brief to delivery (2–3 weeks for sampling, 4–7 weeks for production + transport). Far East is 10–16 weeks with sea or rail freight; air freight can shorten this by 3–4 weeks. The schedule firms up once the supplier candidate has been selected.
We do not publish our supplier list, but our network covers vetted manufacturers in Portugal, Poland, Turkey, Bangladesh, China and Vietnam. We have prior work history with each one — we do not start new relationships at the client’s risk. On request we provide audit documentation (BSCI, SA8000, Sedex).
The design and logo of a custom product are always the client’s property. Brandix does not use client-specific design on other projects. The supplier contract includes confidentiality and IP-protection clauses.
Pre-shipment inspection (PSI) significantly reduces this risk. If a defective batch still arrives, the process is: documentation (photos, measurements), negotiation with the supplier, replacement batch or credit. Brandix acts as the client’s advocate in that negotiation.
Yes. We import both within the EU (no customs) and from outside the EU (customs + VAT cleared). We typically use DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms so the client receives the finished product without any separate customs action.
Yes. The EU market requires CE markings in some categories (e.g. high-visibility workwear EN ISO 20471), toys EN 71, food contact EU 1935/2004. We handle the documentation as part of delivery when requirements are defined at the brief stage.
In small batches, yes — custom always carries one-off costs (design, sample, tooling). In large runs (1,000+ pieces) custom can be cheaper because the intermediary layer goes away and the product is designed to fit the need. The right question is: does the product have specific requirements the standard range cannot meet? If yes, custom justifies itself.
