VERDICT

Should I use Swag?

Swag.com is your all-in-one promotional products and branded merchandise platform - swag.com

Depends. Buy if you run recurring branded-merch programs and want one vendor for production, storage, and fulfillment. Skip it if you need a one-off order or have no ongoing swag program — a print shop is cheaper.

Confidence

Medium. Based on 11 usable public sources; many 'swag' results (Justin Bieber album, linuxserver SWAG proxy, SWAG grants) were unrelated and excluded. Pricing evidence was thin.
