Counselor’s exclusive ranking of the suppliers with the most revenue in the promo products market.

Next Level Apparel (asi/73867)

Next Level debuted on the Top 40 in 2018 and has continued to grow revenue since. North American promo sales were up 9% in 2019, as the supplier built on its reputation for cool, fashion-forward styles (it was the official T-shirt sponsor of SXSW 2019). When COVID-19 struck this year, Next Level pivoted to manufacturing certified surgical face masks with a proprietary fabric and finish.
