Imprint Engine is a global, platform-driven brand experience partner that helps companies design, produce, store, and ship branded merchandise, print, and corporate gifts from a single, unified program. Powered by its proprietary IEX software and supported by in-house creative and production teams, the company focuses on turning “swag” into thoughtful, measurable offline brand experiences across the employee and customer lifecycle. imprintengine.com
Founded in 2012 in Minneapolis by marketers Caleb Gilbertson and Travis Veit, Imprint Engine has grown from a two-person operation into a nearly 100-person organization with a 40,000-square-foot production and fulfillment facility in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, plus offices in Dublin, Ireland and Delhi, India. The company has posted strong multi-year revenue growth and has been recognized on rankings such as the Inc. 5000 and PPAI 100 for fast-growing distributors in the promotional products space. imprintengine.com
Imprint Engine’s IEX platform goes beyond a basic swag store: it centralizes global inventory management, automated corporate gifting, and online company stores while connecting to HRIS, CRM, SSO, and collaboration tools. The 2023 acquisition of automated gifting platform Bluebird CX added deeper campaign automation, support for both digital and physical sends, and richer reporting to serve HR, marketing, sales, and people teams running employee and customer engagement programs. imprintengine.com
Serving leading brands such as Uber, GitHub, GoPuff, Klarna, Microsoft, Walmart, DocuSign, Miro, Postman, LegalZoom and others, Imprint Engine increasingly competes with modern corporate gifting and swag management platforms while differentiating on its combination of owned infrastructure, creative services, and technology. Recent recognition, including the 2024 Minnesota Governor’s International Trade Award and continued global expansion across North America, EMEA and APAC, underscores its position as a premium partner for large, distributed organizations that need consistent, on-brand experiences at scale. imprintengine.com
