Ceramic mugs with cork base and lid, branded with a company logo

In this article

Short answer

A company gift can carry your logo, each employee's name, or both, plus a short line. Lemon Creativo makes them in Santo Domingo on mugs, keychains, tumblers, and plaques: you see the mockup before production, and simple pieces are ready 2 to 4 days after art approval, with fast delivery in the National District.

What can you customize on a company gift?

Three things, alone or combined: your company logo, each person's name, and a short line. The combination shapes how the gift is received and what it takes to prepare.

What it carriesWhen it fitsLead time after art approval
Logo onlyThe same gift for everyone: clients, events, a large team2 to 4 days for simple pieces; 5 to 7 days for apparel and plaques
Logo and each person's nameTeams, birthdays, and work anniversaries: every piece belongs to someone2 to 4 days for mugs and keychains, depending on the product
Logo, name, and a short lineRecognition and special dates2 to 4 days for mugs and keychains; 5 to 7 days for engraved plaques

The material decides the technique: laser engraving on metal, wood, and faux leather; sublimation on mugs; embroidery or DTF on apparel. We cover it piece by piece below. If the gift is a multi-piece kit with special packaging, count on 10 to 18 business days.

Can each employee's name go on the gift?

Yes, and it is very common. A typical request: "The mugs have the company logo and each employee's name." Companies also ask for keychains with each person's name on one side and a short line on the other.

To get it right, send us the list in a spreadsheet with every name written exactly as it should appear (with accents, and without abbreviations the person does not use). Before production we show you a mockup with a few names so you can approve size and placement. A misspelled name is the mistake that hurts most, and one careful review of the list prevents it.

Which pieces take your logo and each person's name?

Not every piece shows a name equally well. These are the ones companies in Santo Domingo customize most, with reference prices before ITBIS as of September 2026:

PieceWhat gets customizedReference price fromLead time after art approval
White 11 oz mugFull-color sublimated logo and nameRD$2742 to 4 days
Mug with cork base and lidLogo and each person's nameRD$5132 to 4 days
24 oz Owala-style steel tumblerYour company logoRD$1,3722 to 4 days
Metal or faux leather keychainsLogo, name, and a line on the backRD$2902 to 4 days, depending on the product
Polo shirts and T-shirtsEmbroidered or DTF logoRD$5175 to 7 days
Crystal recognition plaquesEngraved name, title, and messageRD$1,2675 to 7 days

The final price depends on quantity, technique, and packaging. That is why we quote itemized: you see what the product, the branding, and the packaging each cost.

Which technique fits each material?

The right technique depends on the material and your logo. The wrong one makes prints peel or logos unreadable. The general rule:

  • Embroidery: for quality apparel like polo shirts, caps, and backpacks. It lasts and looks polished, but loses detail on very thin or multicolor logos.
  • Laser engraving: for metal, wood, and faux leather. Permanent and understated, in a single tone.
  • Sublimation: for mugs and white or light pieces. It reproduces photos and gradients.
  • Full-color DTF: for apparel and bags when the artwork has many colors.
  • Screen printing: efficient at high volumes with solid, few-color logos.

If in doubt, let us recommend based on your logo and material. The guide to embroidery, DTF, or sublimation goes into more detail.

What do you need for the logo to come out right?

A vector file and defined colors. Almost every branding problem starts with the file, not the machine.

  • Send the logo as AI, EPS, SVG, or editable PDF, not a screenshot.
  • Specify exact colors, ideally Pantone codes, so the brand looks the same on every piece.
  • Check size and placement on the mockup: a logo that looks fine on screen can end up too big on a tumbler.
  • Keep the logo subtle. An oversized logo keeps the piece from being used outside the office.

How long does an order take in Santo Domingo?

Pieces with simple branding are ready 2 to 4 days after art approval; apparel and plaques in 5 to 7 days; a multi-piece kit with special packaging in 10 to 18 business days. Add the quote, which arrives within 24–48 hours, and however long art approval takes on your side.

Watch the peak seasons: July (Father's Day) and November–December (Christmas) bring the most orders of the year. If your date falls then, request your quote weeks ahead.

How we check every name before production

We manage the whole project: selection, branding, packaging, and delivery. One supplier, everything coordinated.

  1. You tell us who it is for, how many pieces, the date, and where it goes.
  2. Within 24–48 hours you get a quote with a mockup of your brand and itemized pricing. If Procurement needs it, we quote each product separately.
  3. You approve the art and, if needed, a sample.
  4. We produce and check every piece, name by name.
  5. We pack and deliver to your office, by site, or to each person.

Orders are usually smaller than people expect: the median is 15 units and half of all orders run from 4 to 50. You can also mix versions in one order: it is common for part of the pieces to carry one logo and the rest another. Plaques are made from a single unit, and pieces with simple branding, like mugs or keychains with names, from a few units, depending on the product. We confirm it in your quote.

Frequently asked questions

Can you add each employee's name to the gift?

Yes, it is one of our most common requests: company logo, each employee's name, and a short line. Send us the list of names exactly as they should appear and we review it with you before production.

How long does an order of branded mugs or tumblers take?

Pieces with simple branding, like mugs, tumblers, or pens, are ready 2 to 4 days after art approval, depending on the product. Apparel and crystal plaques take 5 to 7 days.

What logo format do you need?

Ideally a vector file (AI, EPS, SVG, or editable PDF) with defined colors, preferably Pantone. A screenshot or a low-resolution image usually causes problems in production.
