commonsku (PPAI 552077) has launched the Archive Merch Drop to kick off 15 Years Ahead, commonsku’s 15th anniversary celebration, in collaboration with PromoKitchen.

The Archive Drop brings back commonsku merch from years past for a limited run. Pre-orders are open July 6 through 13, and all proceeds will go to PromoKitchen in support of the Tee Hamilton Creators Award. Each piece is donated by a commonsku supplier partner: SanMar, T-Shirt Tycoon, Numo, Gemline and PCNA.

“This drop is a tangible way for the skummunity, and the industry as a whole, to celebrate the transformation we’ve experienced as a medium over the last 15 years,” says Mark Graham, president at commonsku. “The future of merchandise and innovation in our industry is so bright, and every order backs the next generation of creators through the Tee Hamilton Creators Award. We’re honoring our history by investing in what comes next.”

Pre-order the Archive Drop from July 6 to 13 here.

HPG (PPAI 110772, Platinum), PPAI 100’s No. 7 supplier, recently welcomed members of Facilisgroup to its inaugural HPG Texas VIP Event, an invitation-only experience.

Hosted at HPG’s Sunnyvale, Texas facility, the two-day event combined educational sessions, facility tours, product discovery and networking with an immersive Texas experience.

Beyond the educational programming, attendees enjoyed unique Texan experiences, including a welcome dinner and an evening at the Southfork Ranch.

“Our goal was to create something much more meaningful than a traditional factory tour,” says Trina Bicknell, chief revenue officer at HPG. “We wanted our Facilisgroup partners to experience HPG in a way that builds trust and deepens relationships, by seeing our Sunnyvale operation firsthand, meeting the people behind the brands and understanding the care and investment that goes into every product we make. When our partners can connect with our team and our process on that level, it creates real value for their business and for the customers they serve.”
