How we made Pima Cotton polos for Rand & Tuulberg and why B2B merch should not be boring

When construction company Rand & Tuulberg contacted us, it was not the first time. Years earlier we had produced Tee Jays Heavy Sweat sweatshirts for their Rebase 17 project completion.

This time the ask was different: polos for employees, with branding, consistent visual identity, and premium material.

But we did not build only polos. We built a system that removed operational friction for the client.

Why Pima Cotton polo

Rand & Tuulberg is not a random company. Their name carries weight in the market. A company like that should not wear cheap polos that lose structure after three washes.

We recommended Tee Jays Pima Cotton polo: 100% ring-spun combed Pima cotton, enzyme wash, tailored fit, reinforced shoulder seams, and mother-of-pearl buttons.

In business use these details matter: natural sheen for a cleaner professional look, better pilling resistance over time, and stronger fibers for heavier day-to-day wear.

Uniform appearance builds trust both on-site and in meetings. Trust starts from material quality.

The problem nobody talks about

Anyone who has run company merch knows the pain: collecting sizes.

You send one email, 40% reply. You send a reminder, maybe 30% more. The rest reply late, change sizes, or disappear. Admin builds an Excel file that changes daily and burns hours no one budgets for.

We removed that bottleneck completely.

B2B ordering process for company polos

Custom ordering page

For each B2B client we create a dedicated ordering page designed for that specific order flow. For Rand & Tuulberg it included company branding, product visuals for both cuts, measurement tables with diagrams, and a simple submit form.

The employee flow takes under a minute, and admin receives structured data automatically without spreadsheet chaos.

In many companies this kind of workflow would be billed as a separate service. For us it is part of delivery quality.

Personalized packing

Most merch suppliers stop once production is done. We do not.

Each Rand & Tuulberg employee received a personalized package: eco paper wrap with both company name and employee name.

Each package also included a personal card with a message. Not generic print material. A specific detail that makes people feel seen.

This is one of the areas where average B2B merch feels transactional and forgettable. Personalized delivery changes that immediately.

What the client really bought

Rand & Tuulberg did not buy only polos. They bought material that matches their brand standard, a process that does not overload admin, and employee-level experience that feels personal.

That is our B2B promise: the same quality logic from fabric to final handover.

Why we are sharing this

In Estonia, B2B merch is still often treated as “fast and cheap”. Fabric pills, prints crack, sizing flow turns into admin nightmare, and packaging gets ignored.

It does not have to be that way.

If your company values quality in operations, it should also value quality in representation. What your team wears is part of your brand language.

B2B client feedback

“We wanted something special for Rand & Tuulberg that would unite us as one team and also communicate our brand values. Choosing Blacksunset for sweatshirt design and production was definitely the right decision. The whole process, from idea to final product, was smooth and professional. The sweatshirts are high quality, stylish, and truly stand out.”
