Made to Tell Your Story

Creative Ink designs meaningful merchandise that helps people stay connected to the stories, moments, and brands that matter most.

Creative Ink connects people to the films, shows, and brands they love not through novelty, but through meaning. We begin with memory — the scene that stayed with you, the line you still quote, the brand or world you felt part of, the season you waited for all year — and translate that emotional imprint into thoughtfully designed merchandise that feels personal, intentional, and timeless. Creative Ink exists to keep those moments alive.

We believe merchandise isn’t just something you wear or hold — it’s something you remember. A way to reconnect with the feeling you had when a story met you exactly where you were.

Our Story

A lit white candle in a glass jar with a white label, placed on a flat surface with shadows cast around it.

Creative Ink is built on connection — between people, stories, and the work itself. We believe the strongest creative partnerships come from trust, continuity, and shared understanding. That’s why every company we work with partners directly with a dedicated project director who leads the process from start to finish. From initial vision through final delivery, you’ll work with one point of contact who understands your story, safeguards the creative intent, and ensures every decision feels aligned, intentional, and impactful.

Process

Story — brand narrative + concept

Design — apparel, packaging, graphics

Sample — materials, color, details

Production — high-quality runs

Deliver — distribution-ready

We partner with studios, creators, and brands to extend stories beyond the screen and office through meaningful merchandise. We don’t just sell products — we create connection.

At Creative Ink, responsibility is built into how we work. We partner with vendors who demonstrate adherence to recognized ethical labor standards and environmental best practices, both domestically and internationally. When possible, we prioritize suppliers that participate in established third-party certification programs and compliance frameworks, and we conduct ongoing reviews to ensure alignment with our standards. Every product is sourced with intention—considering materials, manufacturing practices, and long-term impact alongside design and quality. We believe great merchandise should be made with care for the people who create it and the world it lives in, and we approach that responsibility with transparency and accountability at every stage of the process.
