CUSTOM MANUFACTURING
Fully Custom Promotional Products
BEYOND THE CATALOG
More Than Just Your Logo on a Product
Most promotional products start with an existing item that gets your logo. But sometimes, your project calls for something different.
Maybe you need a bag with specific dimensions, apparel with a completely custom design, or a product that doesn't exist in a standard catalog.

WHY LIGHTSOURCE
Experience That Goes Beyond the Catalog
Custom manufacturing requires more than finding a product and adding a logo. It takes an understanding of materials, production methods, supplier capabilities, and the details that can make or break a project.
With over a decade of experience working with manufacturers and suppliers in China, our team brings firsthand sourcing and production knowledge to every project. We understand how to evaluate manufacturing options, navigate production challenges, and coordinate the details needed to turn an idea into a finished product.
Whether you're modifying an existing item or developing something entirely new, we help bridge the gap between your vision and the realities of manufacturing.
What to Know Before Getting Started
Order Minimums
Minimum quantities vary depending on the product and manufacturing method. Some projects can accommodate smaller runs, while others require larger quantities to make production practical.
Custom Pricing & Tooling
Pricing depends on materials, quantities, complexity, and production requirements. Some projects may also require one-time costs for molds, tooling, or product development.
Production & Lead Times
Custom manufacturing typically takes longer than standard promotional products. Timelines depend on product complexity, sampling requirements, production schedules, and shipping methods.
