About Us

 

Located in Bloomington, Illinois, Minerva Promotions is an industry leader for screen printed and embroidered apparel complementing company apparel needs as well as their reward programs. We also offer value added graphic design services‚ specialty gifts and product packaging as well as event and meeting coordination. We have earned preferred vendor status within multiple industries because of our  streamlined order processing‚ expansive product breadth‚ customized product corporate fulfillment system and high volume production capabilities. Whether your needs require decorated apparel or promotional products‚ we have the ability to take your idea from concept to reality—bringing your brand to life.

Since 1993 we’ve been constantly adding new equipment and infrastructure upgrades to cope with the national moving market. We have invested in software and networking to truly achieve a "Just–in–Time" inventory and production facility that is efficient and highly productive.

Unlike traditional screen printing and embroidery‚ we have integrated advanced production techniques with highly automated machinery and software to achieve the desired look and consistent production of our products.

Minerva can meet extremely tight deadlines by using our unique service process called S.E.D. or Single Entry Distribution. Our S.E.D. process allows us to enter an order at a single point that is immediately picked up in real–time at all order processing stages to ensure timeline objectives are met.

Our digital proofing system allows for immediate notification for order approval to all departments providing support for your order. Flex scheduling and customized product development allows us to allocate the proper machinery and manpower‚ delivering your product within hours rather than days‚ something that truly sets us apart from others. The Minerva Process is continuously being updated with the latest quality control processes and utilizing the latest industry software and technology.

With nearly two decades of valuable experience in our industry‚ Minerva Promotions is highly competitive in offering superior quality‚ best value and prompt service. We are ready and able to assist you in providing your company with the best merchandise at the best value and are sincerely looking forward to get the chance to work with you.
