Custom Sourcing, Made Simple.
Overseas Custom Pricing, Without The Overseas Wait.
Our distributor partners chase overseas factories for the price point, then lose the deal to a 90-day lead time and a 50,000-unit minimum. SimpleSource keeps the savings and fixes the wait: low minimums, fast production, and your choice of air or sea freight, on the writing instruments and bags your clients already order every year.
500+Unit Minimums
Bags start at 500 units. Writing instruments start at 10,000–20,000 per colour, still well under a typical overseas minimum.
3–12Days to Sample
3–5 days on bags, 7–12 on writing instruments.

The Concept
Our Favorite Silhouettes, Now As Custom As Your Brand.
SimpleSource starts with the writing instruments and bags that are already tried, true, and trusted, the legacy styles your customers know and keep reordering. What's new is how far you can take them: trim elements, barrel colours, material and print, decoration method, and on select styles, the size. The silhouette stays the proven one. Everything else is built to your brand, down to the detail.
