Steel Ribbon gives small teams the merch machine of a Fortune 500: one console to design, stock, and dropship branded goods people actually keep.
Forge your store ↗Kill the reorder email chain. Track every hoodie, mug, and enamel pin across vendors from a single inventory ledger that never lies to you.
Order one shirt or ten thousand. We hold your blanks in our fulfillment nodes and print only when a recipient claims their gift.
Drop a claim link in an email or Slack. Recipients pick size and color; we ship. No more guessing between S and XXL for 200 people.
Live landed-cost math on every SKU — blank, decoration, freight, and tax — so you quote client swag without torching your budget.
Every catalog item carries a materials passport. Filter to organic cotton, recycled poly, and FSC paper before a single unit prints.
Give the office manager ordering rights, the founder budget caps, and the client a read-only tracker. Per-seat, per-permission.
Field reports
“We used to run new-hire swag out of a coat closet and a shared spreadsheet. Steel Ribbon turned that into a claim link. Onboarding kits now ship themselves before day one.”
“I sell branded merch to breweries, and margin is everything. The landed-cost view stopped me from underquoting a 4,000-koozie run that would have eaten my whole month.”
“Our conference booth swag used to arrive late, wrong size, or not at all. This is the first platform that treats a startup's 60-unit order like it matters.”
