We are proud to share that Imprint Plus has once again been named one of the Promotional Products Industry’s Greatest Companies to Work For by PPAI. This is the second year in a row that we have received this recognition, and for us, it represents far more than a title. It affirms that the culture we have worked so hard to build is thriving.
Winning in back-to-back years is not common, and that is what makes this moment so meaningful. It tells us that what we are building is lasting. It confirms that our focus on people, culture, and purpose is making a real impact on the everyday experience of our team members.
Why This Recognition Matters
For us, culture is not abstract. It is visible in the way people collaborate across teams, the way they celebrate each other’s wins, and the way they take ownership of their work. One of our employees shared in the PPAI survey, “Working at Imprint Plus has been a mix of creativity, ownership and growth. It’s one of those places where, if you take initiative, people notice... I’ve learned a lot, not just about marketing, but about navigating cross-functional teams, advocating for ideas and thinking like a business owner.”
That kind of feedback means as much to us as the award itself. It tells us that the principles we believe in, such as teamwork, service excellence, quality, and innovation, are showing up in the ways that matter most.
Purpose That Fuels Pride
Another source of pride is knowing that our products themselves carry a purpose beyond business. Our reusable name badge system saves costs for organizations while reducing waste in the process. This commitment to sustainability resonates strongly with our team. As Joanne explains, “Our signature product is a reusable system that’s cost effective and produces less waste. I think sustainability gives people a sense of purpose and to know that they’re a part of something that matters.”
When our employees know their work connects to something larger, such as helping customers succeed or supporting environmental responsibility, it deepens their sense of fulfillment.
Recognition That Mirrors Our Mission
Our mission has always been clear: to make badging and branding easier for businesses so that people can connect more meaningfully. What excites us about this recognition is how closely it ties to that mission. Joanne puts it well: “Our mission is to connect people through name badges, and our purpose is to ignite collaboration and innovation so our clients can focus on creating human connections. Winning this award shows we live that same philosophy inside our own company. Just as we make it easier for our customers to connect with their people and their brand, we also make it easier for our employees to feel connected, supported, and inspired at work.”
For us, this award is not only about what we deliver externally. It reflects the same commitment we carry within.
Looking Ahead
We celebrate this recognition with gratitude, but we know it is not the end of the journey. As Joanne says, “I am so thrilled we won again, but it’s not the finish line. If anything, it makes me want to keep earning it every day. I want to keep building a company that we all want to work at.”
That is our challenge and our opportunity: to keep creating an environment where our people thrive, where customers feel the pride we bring to our work, and where our values remain our guide.
When our partners work with us, they are working with people who genuinely love what they do. That pride carries into every customer interaction, every product we deliver, and every solution we design. And we believe it is that pride that makes the difference.
A Celebration of People
Being named one of the Greatest Companies to Work For in 2025 belongs to all of us. It is the result of every individual who shows up with creativity, collaboration, and commitment. It is a recognition that our culture is alive and growing.
We are proud of this moment, and even prouder of the people who made it possible. Here’s to continuing this journey together, building a company where we can all grow, create, and thrive.
