Meet Orion Design & Print - Premium Print, Merchandise & Swag Pack Specialists

Premium Branded Merchandise & Print Solutions Designed to Elevate Your Brand

Welcome to our blog here at Orion Design and Print. If you’ve landed here, you’re likely looking for more than a supplier. You’re looking for a partner, and that’s exactly who we are.

Orion is a premium print and branded merchandise company built on quality, relationships and attention to detail. We work with brands across all industries, including the tech sector, service providers, retailers, estate agencies, educational institutions and many more. Our main goal is to create elevated print and merchandise solutions that reflect who our brands are and where they’re going. 

From bespoke swag packs and onboarding kits to large-scale print production and branded campaigns, we combine creativity with operational precision. But at the heart of Orion is something simple...

We are a people-first business. 

We believe in picking up the phone. We believe in face-to-face conversations. We believe in understanding your brand and values before we even get started on projects. Because great brand merchandise and business printing start with a deep understanding. From product sourcing to global fulfilment, we are your one-stop shop for strategic and high-quality brand merchandise.

Our Why

We believe exceptional print and merchandise have the power to tell your brand’s unique story. For over 40 years, we’ve helped businesses transform ideas into tangible brand experiences that leave a lasting impression. Our roots trace back to Kings Cross, London, where a passion for premium print craftsmanship laid the foundation for what Orion is today.

In 1994, our founder, George, launched Orion Design & Print with a clear vision. To provide exceptional quality, innovative thinking and attention to detail. While our tools have evolved, one thing remains constant, our focus on people.

We promise premium quality, tailored solutions and true partnership. Our clients come to us for more than print and merchandise. They come for creative solutions, personal connection and a team that truly understands their brand. Discover the history of Orion.

The Team Behind Orion

Orion is still a family-owned business, powered by an incredible team that cares deeply about quality and service. While every project benefits from a wider production and fulfilment team, our key members sit at the core of what we do.  Together, we combine creativity, technical expertise and operational efficiency, without losing the personal touch.

Our Print & Merchandise Services

Orion offers a fully integrated service across three core areas, including print solutions, branded merchandise and curated swag packs.

Print

Print remains at the heart of brand communication. From high-end corporate stationery and event collateral to packaging, inserts and campaign materials, we produce premium print that reflects the quality of your brand.

We advise on materials, finishes and production methods to ensure every detail, from paper stock to embossing, feels intentional and elevated. Print is not just ink on paper; it’s brand positioning in physical form.

Brand Merchandise 

We source and produce high-quality branded merchandise that aligns with your brand identity and audience. Much of our work supports tech companies and innovation-led businesses, but we also work extensively across retail, estate and education sectors.

Every item is chosen strategically, whether it’s for onboarding, client gifting, events or internal culture building.

Bespoke Swag Packs 

Every swag pack we create is completely tailored to the brand it represents. From branded boxes and custom inserts to luxury print finishes, personalised messaging and carefully coordinated colour palettes, every detail is considered. 

The contents are just as intentional. Every product is custom-sourced, branded and selected to align with your audience, your objectives and your brand positioning. Whether it’s a sleek onboarding kit for a tech company, a refined welcome box for new homeowners, or a thoughtfully curated new employee pack, each item is chosen with purpose. 

Warehousing & Fulfilment 

This is where Orion truly becomes your one-stop shop. Beyond sourcing and production, we provide secure warehousing and stock holding at our facility on the North London and Hertfordshire border, allowing you to manage inventory efficiently and distribute merchandise as and when required. Our pick-and-pack fulfilment service enables us to send individual packs directly to recipients, with every stage handled seamlessly and professionally to ensure consistency and quality from start to finish.

UK & International Shipping

With streamlined logistics and established international delivery networks, we support both UK-based and global brands with confidence. Whether you’re scaling rapidly, supporting remote teams, or delivering a one-off campaign, we manage the operational complexity so you don’t have to. From production to doorstep, you work with one partner, one process and one team, ensuring complete consistency at every touchpoint.

How We Work Together

This is where we are different. We are not an automated online ordering platform. We are personal, approachable, and invested in your brand. Our clients tell us the same thing, “You just get our brand”, simply because we take the time to. 

• Step 1: The Onboarding Meeting

  Every project starts with a conversation. We get to know your brand, the story, your ideal clients and audience, branding and colour palettes, quality expectations, objectives, timelines and importantly your budget. We ask questions, we listen carefully, and we build clarity. 

  
  

• Step 2: Understanding the Brief

  Once we understand your brand, we translate that into a carefully considered proposal. We will never just showcase the entire catalogue, but a curated, strategic set of recommendations. Everything is aligned with your positioning and project goals.

  
  

• Step 3: Production & Delivery

  From sampling and approvals to full production and distribution, we manage the process with precision. You’ll always have a direct point of contact and know the process of your project, plus you’ll always feel supported. 

  
  

Our Projects

Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of partnering with an incredible range of brands. Some clients come to us for beautifully printed pens or classic business cards. A single, carefully executed product that represents their brand with quality and consistency. Others grow with us over time, expanding into fully integrated merchandise programmes, large-scale print campaigns and ongoing branded solutions.

For some businesses, we become their complete brand support partner. Managing everything from everyday print requirements to bespoke swag packs, warehousing and global fulfilment. Whether it’s a one-off order or a long-term, multi-service relationship, every client receives the same attention to detail, personal service and commitment to excellence. Check out our client projects to see some of the brands we’ve had the privilege of working with.

A Personal Approach 

One of the things our clients value most is our approach. We are not an anonymous online portal or an automated ordering system. We are present on the phone, via email, in meetings, at site visits, and in strategy sessions. We believe real partnership requires real connection.

We offer genuine one-to-one support and long-term collaboration, taking the time to understand your business as it evolves. For many of our clients, we become a natural extension of their team. We’re trusted, reliable and always aligned with their brand standards. Because when your brand grows, we grow with you.
