Faculty, Staff, and Student Guidelines
All Lehigh Departments and student groups MUST use a licensed vendor when ordering promotional products for their programs and events. This helps to ensure consistency and brand compliance as well as guarantee licensees and manufacturers are following strict fair labor practices.
Promotional products include items such as apparel, giveaways, tablecloths, and event materials.
All artwork is subject to review by the Lehigh University Licensing Office. If the artwork is determined to violate the University’s brand guidelines, art will be denied. If denied, artwork may be amended to correct the issue and then resubmitted for approval. Licensed vendors should be familiar with the process, and colleges, departments and student organizations should not have to explain this process to the vendor.

How to Order
1. Decide what type of promotional product(s), "swag," or marketing assets you are looking for.
2. Choose from the list of licensed vendors you'd like to work with.
3. Understand and follow your department's or organization's rules for purchasing branded products.
4. Review the university's Licensing Guidelines in the tab below.
5. Reach out to your chosen vendor.
6. Submit your artwork to the licensee or work with the licensee to design artwork that is brand compliant.
7. Once the artwork is submitted to the licensee or created with the licensee, it is the responsibility of the licensee to submit the artwork to the Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC)'s online review system, Brand Manager 360, which will prompt review by Lehigh’s Trademarks & Licensing office.
8. The licensee is free to produce the product once approval has been granted by Lehigh’s Trademarks & Licensing office.
The process once artwork is submitted can take up to two weeks so we encourage you to plan ahead. The Trademarks & Licensing office is always willing to help and can be reached at aia925@lehigh.edu.
