About BMPM®
British Made Promotional Merchandise — Made in the UK, Printed with Your Brand
BMPM® — British Made Promotional Merchandise — is a specialist manufacturer and supplier of branded promotional products, with a particular expertise in textile-based promotional merchandise and full-colour dye sublimation printing.
What makes BMPM® different is that we don't simply source promotional products and put a logo on them. We manufacture a substantial range of our own promotional merchandise here in our Lancashire factory, in-house, from the fabric and printing through to cutting, sewing, finishing and despatch.
Very importantly, our UK-made promotional products are available from just one item. There is no minimum order quantity on our in-house manufactured products, making BMPM® an unusual proposition within the promotional merchandise industry. Whether you need a single branded cushion, a handful of bespoke headrest covers or a larger production run for a national campaign, exhibition or event, we can manufacture to your requirements.
Specialists in Textile Promotional Merchandise
Our heritage is in textile manufacturing, and this remains at the heart of what we do.
Our Lancashire factory specialises in printing fabrics in full colour using dye sublimation, before transforming those printed fabrics into finished promotional products. This allows us to reproduce detailed artwork, photographs, logos, brand colours and complete designs across a wide range of textile products.
Dye sublimation is particularly well suited to promotional merchandise because the artwork can be printed across large areas of fabric, often edge-to-edge, creating highly visible and genuinely bespoke products rather than simply adding a small logo to an otherwise standard item.
Our in-house dye sublimation printing is available from just one branded item, giving businesses, agencies, event organisers and promotional merchandise distributors access to UK manufacture without having to commit to large production quantities.

The products displayed on our website represent only part of what we can manufacture.
Because we have the machinery, materials, printing facilities and manufacturing expertise in-house, we can often produce products or variations that aren't listed as standard online. If you have a particular promotional product in mind, it is always worth asking us.
Your Brand. Your Artwork. Your Product.
Our approach to promotional merchandise is simple: you provide the brand, artwork or idea, and we manufacture the product around it.
Our full-colour dye sublimation process gives us enormous flexibility. We can print corporate branding, detailed graphics, photography, repeat patterns, illustrations and other artwork onto suitable fabrics before manufacturing the finished product.
For many products, the printing can cover the entire surface, creating a much more impactful branded product than conventional logo application.
We can also work with Pantone colour references where appropriate to help achieve colours that are as close as possible to your brand requirements.
One thing we are often asked for is can we individually personalise our items as well as adding the branded logo and the answer, simply put is yes. We can add individual names, dates, sequential numbers, qr codes and add so much more value to your artwork when creating a marketing campaign using our products. All you have to do is ask.
From One Item to Larger Production Runs
One of the things that sets BMPM® apart is our approach to order quantities.
Our UK-manufactured promotional merchandise can be made from just one item.
There is no need to order hundreds or thousands of products simply because you want something manufactured in the UK.
That makes our service suitable for a remarkably broad range of requirements — from a single branded sample or prototype through to promotional campaigns, exhibitions, corporate events, hospitality projects, retail merchandise and substantial production runs.
For larger quantities, we can also advise on the most appropriate manufacturing and sourcing route to achieve the right balance between specification, quantity, lead time and cost.
More Than a Manufacturer
Although UK manufacturing is at the heart of BMPM®, we are also an experienced promotional merchandise supplier.
Through decades of experience in the industry, we have established relationships with suppliers in the UK, Europe and the Far East. This means that when a product isn't something we manufacture ourselves, we can often source it, supply it and arrange for branding to be carried out through our established production network.
Our website therefore includes both UK-manufactured products and sourced promotional merchandise.
The important distinction is that when we describe a product as UK manufactured, the manufacturing takes place here in our own Lancashire operation.
This combination of manufacturing expertise and worldwide sourcing knowledge allows us to offer our customers a much broader promotional merchandise service while retaining particular expertise in British-made textile products.
A Lancashire Manufacturing Business
BMPM® operates from the factory of our parent and trading company, Clear Prospects Ltd, in Blackburn, Lancashire.
The company has a long history of designing, manufacturing and supplying textile-based products in the UK. Its manufacturing heritage began with the development of The JetRest® travel pillow and has subsequently expanded into a wide variety of textile products sold both directly to consumers and to trade customers.
Today, BMPM® is the specialist trade brand through which we offer our British-made promotional merchandise to businesses, promotional merchandise distributors, agencies and organisations.
