Premium brand approval requirements
Certain premium retail brands require logo approval before products can be customized for your Launch store.
These approval processes help brands maintain consistent presentation standards across decorated merchandise programs.
Brands that commonly require approval include:
- Patagonia
- Peter Millar
- Vuori
- Tumi
Additional brands may also require approval depending on the product and decoration method selected.
What Gets Reviewed
Premium brand approvals are typically based on:
- Your company logo
- Your company website
- Overall brand alignment
The review process is handled internally by each brand, and approval decisions are made on a case-by-case basis. Exact review standards are not publicly shared by the brands themselves.
In most cases, established companies with professional branding are commonly approved, although approval is never guaranteed.
When Approval Happens
Launch typically submits premium brand approvals after products have been added to your store and logo selections have been finalized.
This helps streamline the process and ensures the correct products, logos and decoration methods are included during review.
Most approvals are completed within 1–2 business days, although timing may vary depending on the brand.
Additional Brand Requirements
Some premium brands may also require:
- Embroidery-only decoration methods
- Minimum order quantities
- Specific logo sizing or placement guidelines
Requirements vary by brand and product type.
If additional requirements apply, the Launch team will help guide you through the process before production begins.
Industries Commonly Restricted
Some premium brands may restrict approvals for certain industries or categories, including:
- Cannabis-related businesses
- Firearms and weapons-related businesses
- Political organizations
- Adult-oriented industries
Approval decisions are ultimately handled directly by the brand reviewing the request.
Best Practices
- Upload high-quality vector logo files whenever possible
- Use approved company logos and branding assets
- Finalize product selections before requesting approvals
- Allow additional time when using brands that require review
- Keep logo placement and sizing clean and professional
