GoCustom partners with a diverse range of clients in the museum sector, including historical, maritime, and automotive museums, to create compelling retail merchandise. We understand that a museum's gift shop is an extension of the visitor experience. We work closely with our clients to create bespoke designs that capture the essence of their collections, turning fascinating exhibits into treasured souvenirs.

Designs That Tell a Story

Museum merchandise demands creativity and quality to reflect the exhibits themselves. We specialise in turning your vision into reality, accommodating the high demand for intricate and visually rich products.

  • Vibrant & Detailed Artwork: We excel at creating full-colour designs, reproducing photographs, and using special effect inks to bring your exhibits to life on apparel. Our Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing is perfect for capturing the fine details of an artefact or the vivid colours of a painting.

  • Bespoke Design Service: Our in-house team works collaboratively with you, whether you have a finished concept or just the start of an idea. We can help develop a unique design that resonates with your visitors and enhances your brand.

  • The Professional Touch: We complement every design with our expert detailing services, ensuring every garment has that professional, high-value feel that museum-goers expect.

Products That Captivate and Educate

We offer a wide selection of high-quality products that can be transformed into unique merchandise for your gift shop, providing a vital revenue stream.

  • Core Apparel: High-quality t-shirts and sweatshirts featuring iconic images or logos are consistent bestsellers in any museum shop.

  • Essential Accessories: Tote bags, caps, back packs, and beanies are perfect for creating affordable, high-margin products that visitors love.

  • Staff Uniforms: We can also provide smart, comfortable, and professional uniforms for your staff and volunteers, ensuring they represent your institution perfectly.

Packaging That Aligns with Your Values

Packaging is very important in this sector, and presentation is paramount. We recognise the shift towards environmental responsibility and offer solutions that reflect this.

  • Eco-Friendly Packaging: The majority of our museum clients are opting for sustainable solutions. Our popular paper-based wrap packaging is a fantastic alternative to single-use plastics.

  • Recyclable Swing Tags: We can produce custom, recyclable swing tags that provide product information or a brief history of the exhibit, adding value for the customer while respecting the environment.

Finishing Touches for a Curated Collection

Elevate your merchandise with our range of detailing services. Custom relabelling, bespoke branded tags, and professional folding and packing ensure your products arrive perfectly presented and ready for immediate display in your shop.
