Promotional (Swag) Items

Contact The Hub to learn more about the types of promotional items that are available, their costs, and how long they take to produce.
Additional RIT-approved vendors are listed on the RIT Brand Portal. > Consult with your selected vendor to determine purchasing processes, required lead times for production, and production specifications.
If you’d like to use a vendor that is not on the approved list list, direct your vendor to Jessica Hishman in Procurement for information on how to apply for a license. Vendors MUST be approved prior to doing work for the University.
Designs for imprinted items must adhere to RIT branding guidelines and are subject to the review and approval of University Marketing and Communications prior to production. The process of creating a design and obtaining approval to produce can take up to two to four weeks depending on the complexity of the project and the workload volume of the team members. Careful planning well in advance will help to ensure your promotional item is ready in time for your event.
If you have questions regarding producing and paying for promotional items, contact your immediate supervisor.
