About Us

Active Life Promo was founded in 2007 as a skateboard grip tape company. Since then, we have grown into a trusted
provider of action sports and active lifestyle apparel, headwear and gear.

We help Branded Merchandise distributors bring brands to life through durable, functional promotional products designed
for people who move, compete, explore and spend time outdoors. Through our BrandFlow program, we also provide
custom merchandise stores, fulfillment and distribution services that make managing branded gear easier.

Our Mission

We believe getting outside and staying active can improve our health, strengthen our communities and deepen our connection with the environment.

Our mission is to provide durable, functional branded products that help companies and organizations support active lifestyle events, engage their communities, and create lasting brand experiences.

Your Eco‑Active ^TM Product Headquarters

Quick Turnaround

Our standard turnaround time for in-house orders is 10 business days. When timelines are tight, rush production may be available.

Exceptional Service

Work with a dedicated Project Manager who oversees your in-house production, import, and fulfillment programs. Your Project Manager serves as your single point of contact, connecting you directly with our Wisconsin production facility and our import team in China. We welcome special requests and work closely with you to find the right solution for your goals, timeline and budget.

Low Minimums

You do not always need a large order to create something memorable. Minimum quantities for many products—including trucker hats, name-brand drinkware, skateboards and watercraft—often begin at 10 units or fewer.

A Trusted Partner

We carefully vet and test our domestic and overseas partners to help ensure consistent quality. We stand behind the products and services we provide, take responsibility when something goes wrong and work quickly to make it right.

We offer ideal promotions for active lifestyle enthusiasts involved in running, cycling, snowboarding, skiing, skateboarding, water sports, and more.
