IN TRODUC TION

It’s simple. We THINK. About you, about your clients, about what you are trying to achieve. Our experienced team will carefully consider your goals and help you create the best promotional marketing plan to get there. We won’t “just slap your logo on it”… unless you are a hockey puck manufacturer.

Your account manager is always researching, both here in Canada and internationally, what’s new and exciting in the promotional products industry. With our extensive sourcing capabilities, digital print and in house screening, we’ll help you select the best products to meet your goals.

We are all on the same TEAM. When a typhoon delayed a shipment from our international factory, we jumped into action. Rerouting the package to direct air cargo, our team drove straight from Toronto Pearson Airport to the event venue, delivering the product to our

clients’ hands. We all hope for sunny days but we are there for you when the storm hits too. Every interaction with your participants and clients should be carefully considered as it reflects on your brand and how they experience and connect with you.

If you ask us for a pen for an expo… we don’t just say “here’s 5 – pick one”. We’ll take the time to understand the goal of the promotion, what your brand is trying to convey to the client and who that client is. After discovering this, we present your team with options that meet those goals and fit within your budget.

A law office may need a pen with blue ink, a physiotherapist a soft grip gel style, an art school a 10 colour multi ink.

A carpenter’s expo might not need a pen at all. Perhaps a pencil is the answer.

We specialize in creative branding, promotion and product development.Boutique service with an innovative twist. We love coming up with creative

solutions for all your marketing and promotional needs

Decoration is the core of our business and we work our core. Axis Gear will recommend the best solution for the garment you choose.

Sublimation: dying the fabric for a soft hand feel and longevity of imprint

Embroidery: stitched logos for a classier take. Perfect with hoodies and hats. Maybe a golf polo or two.

Direct to Garment: the new wave in screen printing. Unlimited colours, soft hand feel and perfect on your favourite tee

Super Soft Hand Ink: a unique branding technique that gives a vintage aesthetic. It’s soft, it’s trendy and just looks cool.

Metallic Inks: Looking to do something a bit different? Try adding metallics for a bit of shine.

We could go on and on. And on. As much as you love Axe throwing, we love decoration.

DON’T USE A N A XE TO DO EMBROIDER Y.

Let us do the embroider y, and the s i lk screening, and the direct to garment and the. . .

At Axis Gear, we strive for creative and fun solutions. Solving problems with unconventional

ideas and making sure you are getting the best promotions, not just the easiest or most common.

Showing your business to the world is exciting and fun, a way for your brand to say “Here I am, World! Get Ready!” We want to be

the wind machine to your Beyoncé!

We do it by coming up with ideas. Sometimes you need unconventional, sometimes you need classics done so well they seem new. Axis Gear can do that for your business. And we can make the process enjoyable.
