In an industry where standing out takes more than a flashy logo, Northeastern Promotions has made its mark by staying bold, nimble, and proudly hands-on. Since opening their doors in 2019, this Massachusetts-based supplier has quickly become a go-to for distributors looking for vibrant, full-dye sublimation and on-trend custom apparel, with lead times that turn heads.

“We’re different because we own our manufacturing,” said Chris Yameen, co-founder and VP of Sales, in a recent interview. “When someone places an order with Northeastern Promotions, we’re the ones producing it, start to finish.”

That control over the entire production process isn’t just a flex—it’s the foundation of their speed, consistency, and quality. Everything is made in-house, whether it’s jerseys for a local team, retail-style apparel, or full-color drinkware and accessories. And because they’re not reliant on third-party vendors, they can promise quicker turnarounds and lower minimums—something that’s becoming rarer in the promo world.

Growth Built on Grit and Flexibility

Chris and his co-founders knew they were entering a competitive space, but their bet on full-dye sublimation and hands-on service paid off. “We started small,” Chris said, “and now we’re in 15,000 square feet of production space.”

Their product line reflects that hustle—from moisture-wicking tees and polos to koozies, towels, flags, and even entirely custom uniforms. And yes, everything can be decked out in full color with edge-to-edge printing. At The PPAI Expo in 2024, their booth stood out for its bold designs and fast-moving bestsellers—each one designed to give end users that retail-ready, made-for-them feel.

A Greener Way to Promote

And if clients are looking for sustainable options, Northeastern has that covered, too. Its NEP Green line includes recycled headwear and bags—proof that high impact doesn’t have to come at a high environmental cost.

More Than a Supplier—A True Partner

With a focus on transparency, flexibility, and serious design chops, Northeastern Promotions has earned a reputation as more than just a vendor—they’re a partner. “We’re quick to pick up the phone, and we’re going to help find a solution,” Chris said.
