Sunday vs Loopper: an honest comparison for 2026

Sunday and Loopper are both European and both put your logo on products, but they work differently. Loopper is a promotional-gifts webshop — a broad, category-driven catalog of branded giveaways (bags, drinkware, clothing, gadgets, office, outdoor) including name brands like Stanley, JBL and BIC, which you order product by product with free digital design and personal service. Sunday is a managed branded-merch platform — it designs, manufactures, warehouses, ships and measures your own branded collection. The honest short version: if you want a wide webshop of promotional gifts and name-brand giveaways ordered per item, Loopper is a strong fit; if you're running an ongoing merch program with custom manufacturing, warehousing and ROI, Sunday fits better.

The short answer. Choose Loopper for a broad European webshop of promotional gifts and name-brand products with free digital design and personal service. Choose Sunday for a managed program: custom manufacturing, a curated 550+ catalog, transparent minimums from ~10 pieces, warehousing, swag stores and merch-ROI reporting, made in Europe.

This is less a "which is better" table than a "which is built for your job" table — both are European, but one sells promotional gifts and the other runs your merch program.

What Sunday is

Sunday is a platform that helps marketing, event and HR teams manage, order and measure the ROI of branded merchandise, all produced in Europe. The catalog runs to 550+ base products and 490+ decoration options with 2,000+ ready templates. Drop a logo on a product in the catalog and preview it in your colors in about thirty seconds, free. Minimums are low and transparent — from around 10 pieces ready-to-wear and around 100–150 for fully custom, Pantone-dyed production — and Sunday warehouses and ships for teams. Over ten years it has become the merch partner to 200+ brands including Google, HubSpot, Deel, Zalando and Booking.com. Explore the platform or read how it works.

What Loopper is

Loopper is a European webshop for promotional gifts and branded products, with around 24 years of experience behind it. Its catalog is broad and browsable by category — bags, brands, clothing, food and drinkware, gadgets, giveaways, office, outdoor, sustainable and wellness — and includes recognisable name brands such as Stanley, JBL, BIC, Delsey and Hugo Boss alongside its own range. It offers free digital design so you can see your logo on a product before ordering, plus personal service, and it holds a strong Trustpilot rating (4.7/5 from over 1,200 reviews). For teams that want to browse, design and order promotional gifts straightforwardly within Europe, it's a solid, well-reviewed option.

Where Sunday wins

  • A managed, ongoing program. Warehousing, reordering and swag stores support a recurring merch program rather than one-off purchases.
  • Manufacturing, not just decoration. Pantone-dyed, made-from-scratch production creates fully custom pieces, beyond branding stock catalog items.
  • Merch as a measurable channel. Sunday ties merch spend to marketing, HR and event ROI.
  • A curated, coherent collection. A focused catalog built for a consistent brand look, rather than a broad transactional gift catalog.
  • Transparent program minimums. Published minimums from ~10 pieces with pricing visible before you order.

Where Loopper wins

Credit where it's due. Loopper's catalog breadth is a genuine strength if you want choice across every giveaway category, and stocking recognisable name brands means you can hand over a gift people already value. Its free digital design removes the guesswork before ordering, its personal service and two decades of experience show in a 4.7/5 Trustpilot rating, and being European keeps shipping simple for EU recipients. If you're buying promotional gifts rather than running a managed merch program, Loopper belongs on your shortlist.
