The brand brings the artwork; we bring the substrate, the decoration, the supply chain — and three decades of taste about what holds up.
Cork notebook and pen — the partner-thank-you, Nike-edited.
For Nike's partner-thank-you programme we supplied a cork-textured A5 notebook with a matching cork-clip pen, presented inside a natural kraft cardboard gift box. A single black Swoosh centred on the cover, no other branding. The piece reads as Nike's own studio thinking — material-led, restrained, considered. Distributed across the Australian partner network for the season.
Our approach drew on three decades of branded merchandise production. With the brand creative supplied by Nike (or their agency), we specified the substrate to match the brand's tactile signature — partner gift · material-led · cork capsule — then matched the decoration technique to the substrate (not the other way around, which is where most corporate branded merchandise programmes go wrong). Print colours were proofed to the brand's reference palette. Packaging was specified in parallel with the product itself, because in the corporate & general category the unboxing IS the brand encounter. Every component was sourced through Sense2's audited supply chain so the programme could ship into any corporate & general environment without procurement friction.
The finished Nike programme reads exactly as Nike reads in market — considered, brand-led, on-tone. A cork-textured notebook + matching pen gift set in a kraft box, black Swoosh on the cover. This is what custom branded merchandise looks like when it's specified as marketing collateral: corporate branded merchandise that earns a second life with the recipient, that travels with them, that surfaces in the spaces Nike wants to occupy. If you're shaping a corporate & general brand programme and want this same standard of work — sourcing, specification, decoration, production oversight, delivery in writing — Sense2 is the studio Australia's most considered brands have trusted with their merch programmes for over thirty years.
