Conscientious management and high-quality products, combined with a focus on customer service and continued innovation are just a few of the factors keeping SanMar (PPAI 110788, Platinum) at the top of the PPAI 100 for the third consecutive year.

In 2024, the Issaquah, Washington-based company made significant investments in automation and a new web experience (to launch fully in 2026) that allows customers to order decorated product from their preferred decorator, upload logos and create 3D visualization – all managed under a single invoice.

SanMar also continued to make strides in sustainability by transitioning products to materials with lower carbon footprint, encouraging suppliers to reduce emissions and using renewable energy (including solar installations) at its own facilities. The company also grew its assortment of sustainable styles to over 200 items and signed on as a bluesign partner.
