Our verdict on each
4imprint
4imprint suits organizations ordering branded giveaways in modest runs: the minimum order is 250 units, logo placement comes as standard, and artwork goes through a proof first. Buyers wanting same-day delivery or a published price on every line will need to check, since the entry figure $0.27 is quoted for a pen.
Druckdichdrauf
Druckdichdrauf suits European teams buying personalised clothing and gifts straight from the workshop that makes them, working since 2006. Orders are priced individually rather than on a plan, support runs on weekdays, and anyone who needs uploaded artwork checked before production should know that check is not part of the order.

Pros and cons
4imprint
Pros
- The minimum order is 250 units, so a single event can be ordered without a large commitment.
- 4imprint sells branded apparel, mugs and drinkware, branded pens and more, letting one supplier cover drinkware, bags and awards alongside clothing.
- Logo work is part of the order, with screen printing, debossing and engraving available across the catalogue.
Cons
- Orders start at 250 units, which rules out a handful of items for a small meeting or handout.
- The entry figure of $0.27 is quoted for the Javelin Pen, so buyers of higher-cost items sit well above it per unit.
- The 2 day figure is a dispatch time for one pen line, so a delivery date still depends on the carrier and the destination.
Druckdichdrauf
Pros
- Clothing and gifts are both individually customisable, so a small need and a full set come from a single catalogue.
- Production stays in Germany, where the company says the goods are made in Brandenburg.
- At work since 2006, so a repeat design goes back to the same workshop that made the earlier run.
Cons
- There is no file check on uploaded artwork, so a mistake in the file is yours to catch before it goes out.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre during weekday office hours, so a query sent at the weekend waits for the next working day.
Who each suits
4imprint
Who it suits
- Organizations running a single event that need a modest first run of 250 units.
- Buyers who want artwork checked and a proof approved before goods are printed.
- Organizations in the US and Canada, plus teams in the UK and Ireland.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers needing a handful of pieces, since the minimum order is 250 units.
- Shoppers who want every price published upfront; the entry figure $0.27 applies to a pen line rather than the catalogue.
- Anyone needing a finished order the same day; the listed dispatch time on the Javelin Pen is 2 days.
Druckdichdrauf
Who it suits
- European buyers wanting clothing and gifts made to their own design in Germany.
- Teams ordering a small set first and repeating it later, since pieces can be ordered individually.
- Anyone who prefers to deal with the company that makes the goods, CampusWerk Inh. Carsten Benecke.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone needing uploaded artwork checked before it goes out, since no such check comes with the order.

Questions about each
4imprint
What is the smallest order 4imprint takes?+
The published minimum is 250 units, shown on the Javelin Pen. That keeps a first purchase small enough to cover one event rather than a year of stock, and it is the figure to plan against when a budget is set per attendee. Orders are placed with 4imprint Inc.
How much do promotional items cost?+
The entry figure is $0.27, and that price is quoted for the Javelin Pen. Higher-cost items such as drinkware and apparel sit above that figure per unit. Treat it as a floor for one product line rather than a price for the whole catalogue, and ask for a quote on the specific item and quantity.
Druckdichdrauf
Where are the goods made?+
Druckdichdrauf makes its clothing and gifts in Germany, and the company says the work is done on its own site in Brandenburg. That keeps design, production and packing under a single roof, so a design you used once can be repeated later by the same workshop. Buyers who want a finished item from a German site can weigh that against their own needs.
How long has the business been running?+
The company has been at work since 2006, so this is a long-standing workshop rather than a recent online storefront. Longevity matters when you plan to reorder: the same site can take a design you used years ago and produce it again. For a new buyer it simply means an established operation stands behind the catalogue.
