About Us
Metro Merchandise is a name with real heritage based in Blisworth, Northamptonshire, with over 30 years’ experience in the industry. Over the years, we’ve attracted a strong portfolio of customers ranging from global champagne producers through to Formula teams, NHS providers, UK charities, logistics and warehousing specialists. We provide the exact same level of bespoke branding service to all our customers whatever their size.
We love the challenge of colour matching your clothing and merchandise. Whether it’s a specific Pantone hue, Dulux colour palette or you’ve got something in your bag that’s just the right shade, we’ll match it exactly!
Metro has been asked for everything from branded tambourines and branded gingerbread men to branded flipflops and dressing gowns for spas. So, no order is too crazy, vague, small or large for Metro.
Quick to respond and happy to help all customers however possible, the team prides itself in a bespoke service and will work with you to help design your garments, source the right products and deliver them in budget.
