About us
As a volunteer-driven nonprofit, we’re committed to making supply chains and transactions smoother across the promotional products industry.
Our History
At PromoStandards, we’re on a mission to streamline transactions by standardizing the flow of crucial information. With integrated data sharing becoming more essential, our membership has flourished. Companies that join PromoStandards become part of a movement that’s transforming the supply chain with integration, automation, and efficiency.
Imagine this
A dedicated group of distributors, suppliers, and service providers—like Essent Corporation, Facilisgroup, Geiger, HALO Branded Solutions, Hit Promotional Products, Koozie Group, Polyconcept North America, SanMar, Staples, and Starline Inc.—came together in 2014 to establish the first set of industry standards. Over the years, these standards expanded, and by 2019, PromoStandards officially became a nonprofit.
Today, our work continues as we grow our standards and remain dedicated to advancing the promotional products industry.
