SEDEX & SMETA Certified Promotional Products

How to choose

Start with the compliance threshold, then the creative brief — that order matters when procurement is the gatekeeper. If the brief mentions Modern Slavery Act reporting, SEDEX membership evidence, SMETA 4-pillar audits, or a government panel requirement, we'll scope from factories where the documentation already exists. Ask us for the SEDEX membership number, the last SMETA audit date, and the factory disclosure — those are the three things every serious procurement team wants on file before artwork lock. On product category: SMETA-audited drinkware (stainless steel bottles, ceramic mugs, glass keep-cups) is where we see the heaviest procurement scrutiny, because the supply chain is longer and the safety/ethical overlap is highest. Audited apparel (polos, tees, hoodies) is next — look for factories that pair SMETA with OEKO-TEX or GOTS for the fabric story. Bags, stationery and tech accessories round out the range. Across all of it, pairing SEDEX evidence with material credentials (rPET, FSC paper, GRS-certified recycled polyester, bamboo, organic cotton) is what makes a procurement submission sing. Branding method doesn't change the audit status, but it does change the lead time. Screen print, pad print and laser engraving on SMETA-certified stock can ship in 5-10 business days. Fully-bespoke runs from an audited factory — your shape, your colour-matched Pantone, your custom packaging — sit at 10-20 business days plus sea or air freight. We'll flag which lane suits your timeline before you commit. On MOQ: audited-factory bespoke runs typically start at 250-500 units, which is where the economics work for everyone. For smaller pilot runs (50-250), we route you to SMETA-certified stocked lines where the audit is already in place and branding happens in Australia. Creativity is what keeps any product on the desk — the ethical supply chain is the floor, not the ceiling. Sense2's job is to make both the compliance and the creative brief land beautifully, on time, in one conversation.
