Top 6 Swag Platforms for Global and Remote Teams (2026)

Short answer: The best swag platforms for global and remote teams are PerkUp, Matter, Sunday, BrandMerch, Merchloop, and SwagUp. PerkUp combines bulk and On Demand swag, kits, swag stores, and gift cards, shipping from warehouses in 10 regions. Matter puts on-demand swag inside Slack and Microsoft Teams as a reward for recognition. Sunday and BrandMerch suit teams that want merch management and procurement controls, Merchloop suits US-based teams that want on-demand swag with no minimums, and SwagUp suits onboarding and event kits.

Shipping swag to a distributed team is mostly a logistics problem: collecting addresses and sizes, getting through customs, and avoiding a $45 international shipping bill on a $20 hoodie. The platforms below are compared on how they solve that. Last verified November 2026.

How we evaluated these platforms

We build Matter, which includes a company swag store, so weigh our take on our own product with that in mind. PerkUp is featured here as a partner. Every fact below comes from each vendor's own website and its G2 page, checked in November 2026. Where a vendor doesn't publish a number, we say so. We scored each platform on five things that decide whether swag actually reaches a remote employee:

• Country coverage. How many countries the platform ships to, and whether it states that clearly.
• Customs and duties. Whether the platform handles customs paperwork and duties, so employees aren't billed at the door.
• Address and size collection. Whether recipients enter their own address and size through a redeem link, so HR doesn't chase a spreadsheet.
• Inventory model. Print on demand (no minimums, no storage) or stored inventory (cheaper per item, but you pay for warehousing).
• Pricing you can read. Whether there's a published price you can budget against.

What to look for in a swag platform for global teams

• Local warehousing beats one big warehouse. Shipping a kit from one US warehouse to Europe or Asia often costs more than the kit. Platforms with regional stock ship faster and cheaper.
• Redeem links, not address spreadsheets. Remote employees should claim their own swag and pick their size. It also keeps home addresses out of shared files.
• Duties covered up front. Ask whether orders ship Delivered Duty Paid, meaning customs and taxes are paid before delivery. A surprise duty bill is the fastest way to turn a gift into a complaint.
• On demand for small teams, stock for large ones. Under a few hundred people, print on demand avoids minimums and storage fees. At scale, bulk orders lower the unit price.
• A way to tie swag to recognition. Swag lands better as a reward for something specific than as a box everyone gets.

How to choose the right swag platform for your team

• Your employees are spread across many countries and you want all your swag and gifting in one place: PerkUp, which ships bulk swag and kits from the warehouse closest to each employee across 10 regions, and also offers On Demand swag, event swag, swag stores, and gift cards.
• Your team already works in Slack or Teams and you want swag to mean something: Matter, so swag is redeemed as a reward for recognition rather than shipped to everyone at once.
• You want one place to manage merch across HR, marketing, and events: Sunday, for an internal brand store and merch analytics.
• Procurement needs budgets, approvals, and brand-matched colors: BrandMerch, which ships stored merch to 220+ countries.
• Most of your team is in the US and you want a free company store: Merchloop, for on-demand swag with no minimums.
• You run onboarding kits or event packs at volume: SwagUp, for packs, storage, and redeem pages, as long as most recipients are in North America.

Frequently asked questions about swag for global and remote teams

How do you send swag to remote employees in other countries?

Use a platform that collects each employee's address and size through a redeem link, then ships from a warehouse in or near their region. PerkUp ships from warehouses in 10 regions with most orders Delivered Duty Paid, BrandMerch handles customs and duties as part of delivery, and Matter offers free shipping to 170+ countries on its print-on-demand swag.

Who pays customs and duties on international swag?

It depends on the platform. Most PerkUp orders ship Delivered Duty Paid, so duties are covered before delivery. BrandMerch handles duties in its shipping flow, and SwagUp handles customs paperwork, but check who pays duties before you ship. Always ask whether duties are included, not just the item price.

Is print-on-demand swag better than bulk swag for remote teams?

For small or fast-changing teams, yes: print on demand has no minimums, no storage fees, and no leftover boxes in the wrong size. Bulk orders lower the unit price once you're sending hundreds of the same kit. Platforms like PerkUp combine both, so you can stock popular items and print the rest on demand.

What's the cheapest way to send swag to a global team?

For large sends, ship from a warehouse in or near each employee's region instead of a single US warehouse. For ongoing swag, print-on-demand items tied to a recognition program, such as Matter's, keep costs to the items people actually redeem.

The bottom line

Global swag succeeds or fails on logistics: addresses, sizes, customs, and shipping cost. Pick the platform that matches where your people are and how often you send. For bulk and On Demand swag across many countries, PerkUp covers the most ground. If you want swag to reinforce recognition rather than arrive as a one-off box, Matter runs it inside the Slack or Teams workspace your team already uses. Start a 14-day free trial of Matter.
