Case Studies
YOUTUBE
YouTube is a long-time client of Unified Manufacturing
Originally hired to design and produce its Emmy submission packaging (a creative box set that would hold their current roster of shows), Unified became their go-to creative partner for promoting their shows through custom merchandise—from character-based bobbleheads to personalized Cobra Kai trophies.
With complete creative control, Unified created copy, designed packaging, and produced short-run box sets which we then shipped directly to the press.
YOUTUBE STREAMY AWARDS
For its annual awards show, the YouTube Streamy Awards, YouTube tasked Unified Manufacturing to create an Instagram-worthy custom gift box.
From concept to manufacturing, we customized Crocs and Croc charms, pins, bracelets, and tie-dye bucket hats custom-dyed to match the PMS of the YouTube brand which we then shipped directly to influencers.
Tom McDonald
During Covid, all tours were closed. Canadian rapper Tom McDonald, like every other artist, needed to keep making an income.
He was very creative and by the time we started working with him, he had already had 2-3 years of SKUs on his Squarespace E-commerce site.
Some had 13-14 colors and a lot were photo realistic. Transferring them all over to traditional Screen printing was going to be expensive and was going to require minimum orders per SKU as well as warehousing and storage.
Elton John - / Universal Music Group
Universal Music approached Unified in accordance with Elton John to make some custom merch on a super tight turnaround for direct-to-retail to go into some of the most high-end stores in Los Angeles.
Elton wanted his merch in his favorite Stores around Los Angeles. The merch included custom Dyes and 12 - 16 Color hits on an 8-day turnaround. Elton was personally involved and was ecstatic with the results.
WHITE HOUSE SPECIALTY PRODUCTS
In 2008, Unified Manufacturing was honored to work with Hidden Beach Recordings and the White House
(yes,THATWhiteHouse) to develop products for the inauguration of President Barack Obama.
We pressed the vinyl record and printed the gatefold jackets for a limited-edition commemorative album.
We also manufactured foam Obama "hands" which we then delivered to Washington, DC for the historic event to influencers.
