MADE IN NORTHERN NEVADA - BUILT BY A FORMER CONTRACTOR

WE MAKE COOL STUFF FOR GOOD PEOPLE

Recognition Branded Gear is a small Northern Nevada shop built around something pretty simple: do great design work, make products we’re proud of, and work with businesses and people we enjoy. After nearly 12 years running a contracting company, we know what it’s like to be on the other side of the order. Today, we’re combining that experience with our background in design to make great products and help businesses elevate brands they’re proud of.

WE KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO RUN A BUSINESS

WE’VE BEEN ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ORDER

We’ve spent years running businesses ourselves, so we know how frustrating it is to chase multiple vendors, deal with missed deadlines, or wonder whether an order will show up the way you expected.

From hats and apparel to printed materials, promotional products and recognition, we make it easier to get more of what your business needs in one place, with quality products, clear communication and reliable service.
