Built With Purpose. Backed by a Team That Cares.

Trusted. Awarded. Community-focused.

ABOUT US

Purpose-led. Community-rooted. Built for real impact.

For almost 50 years, we’ve believed one thing — great products start with great people. BRANDit With Purpose was built on the idea that printing isn’t just ink on paper or logos on shirts. It’s a way to help organizations share who they are, what they stand for, and the impact they want to make.

 

As a woman-owned business rooted in Toledo, and serving client nationwide, we’ve partnered with schools, manufacturers, dealerships, nonprofits, healthcare teams, and community organizations and businesses across the nation. And no matter the size of the project, our goal stays the same: create branded products that make people feel seen, connected, and proud.

We don’t cut corners. We don’t rush the relationship. 


We take the time to understand your mission — then build products that work as hard as you do.

OUR SERVICES

Print, branded apparel, promotional products, and custom team stores designed to make your brand feel consistent, organized and strong. Every project gets the same care — whether it’s a single banner, a product label or a full campus-wide apparel rollout.

EXPERIENCE

With nearly five decades in the printing and branding industry, we know what works, what lasts, and what truly brings people together. We ensure every item is created with quality, consistency, and care — managing the process from start to finish so your brand always shows up beautifully and on time.

ACCOUNTABILITY

That’s why we’re honest about timelines, transparent with pricing, and committed to delivering exactly what we promise. If it carries our name, it reflects our values — so we do it right.

We had a phenomenal experience with BRANDit. We contacted them on an incredibly tight time crunch and they were able to help us get 100 t-shirts ready for our event.

OUR MISSION

Purpose in every project. People at the center of everything.

Our mission has always been simple — use the power of print, apparel, and branded products to bring people together. We believe every project is bigger than the product itself. It’s about the message it carries, the pride it creates, and the impact it leaves behind.

As a woman-owned company with deep Toledo roots, and clients nationwide, we’re committed to supporting the organizations that make this community stronger — schools, nonprofits, manufacturers, dealerships, healthcare teams, small businesses, and city partners. When they thrive, our city thrives.

We focus on doing good work, with good people, for a good purpose.


That’s what guides us.
That’s what keeps us growing.


And that’s why we treat every client as a partner, not a transaction.
