One of the Craziest Rupt Stories of the Year
Proof that Rupt runs on get-it-done energy
Global merch sounds easy until it is not. A week ago, one of our distributor partners called us in full scramble mode. She had ordered 300 custom backpacks from another promotional products supplier who claimed they could ship internationally to Thailand. Turns out they could not.
The ball was dropped. The project was on fire. Her client event in Bangkok was nine days away, and she needed decorated backpacks delivered DDP directly to the Hyatt.
For most promo suppliers, that is where the story ends. For Rupt, that is where it starts.
Our Asia production timeline during peak holiday season is normally seven to ten days plus transit. On paper, this global swag project should have been impossible. But Rupt does not operate on industry logic. We operate on get-it-done energy and real international infrastructure.
Turning a Blown Deadline into a Global Win
Within one hour of receiving the purchase order, we had 300 blank Galindo backpacks loaded onto a truck heading south through China, Vietnam, Laos, and into Thailand. Five days later, they arrived.
At the same time, our APAC team printed custom DTF transfers, boarded a plane with transfers and hand held heat presses packed in carry-ons, and landed in Bangkok the same day the backpacks arrived.
From there, we partnered directly with the distributor and her team to build a full blown hotel room production line. Three hundred backpacks were hand pressed in just two days and finished only hours before the event kicked off.
That is what real global merch execution looks like when international shipping, local production, and problem solving actually work together.
This Is What Rupt Means by Partnership

While other suppliers were still explaining why international swag could not be delivered on time, we were already halfway across Asia making it happen.
