Clubs are one of the key ways that university students foster communities, meet new friends, and participate in exciting events. By providing group members with freebies or purchasable merch to represent their favorite orgs, you have yet another way to capture others’ attention on campus while forging deeper connections with your current members.
Below are some ideas for customizable swag to delight your club members and display your group’s logo, motto, or events to be remembered over the years.
Apparel
T-shirts are a common staple for many group events and occasions, especially when it comes to showing school spirit. However, apparel options are not limited to tees and can include quality crewnecks, hoodies, quarter-zips, and more. Unique styles and brands can elevate your org’s style through customized logos and thematic colors.

Baggage
Outside of class, many students hit the gym, shop for groceries, or go on weekend outings in town. Wherever they go, having a way to carry daily essentials and new purchases is vital. From tote bags to drawstring backpacks, your student org’s merch can provide students with a useful and convenient option to carry their belongings while showing off their extracurricular interests.

Stationery
Stationery is a reality for many students’ studies and career development but can also be a fun form of self-expression. Notebooks and pens come into play for class, speaker engagements, and even job interviews, and stickers with your group’s logo or related designs can provide endless opportunities for personalizing water bottles, laptops, and other items.

Accessories
Custom merch can provide touches of style and personalization to a student’s campus look. With the handiness of lanyards and badges to hold student IDs, dorm keys, and bank cards; AirTag keychains; and pins to enhance the look of backpacks, totes, and jackets, these custom accessories can add simple nods to extracurricular involvement in students’ day-to-day lives.

Home/Room Items
Living on campus is a reality for the majority of students in college. Whether it be custom coasters, mugs, or even new letter signs for a frat or sorority house, students can feel more at home when using items showcasing their favorite after-class groups, events, and memories, reflecting their college experience in their living space.

Event Equipment
When it comes to fairs and meetings, your club will likely need a table setup to showcase your events and goals for the semester. With eye-catching tablecloths, banners, and signage, your booth will be a hard one to miss. Flyers posted around campus throughout the year can also attract the attention of students as they make their way to class, bringing light to your group’s upcoming meetings and events.
