Owner of Staples Promotional Products Acquires Digital Room

Digital Room is an e-commerce provider of customized marketing products that include an array of logoed apparel, bags, drinkware and much more.

Sycamore Partners is expanding its reach in the print and promotional products industry.

The New York-based private equity firm, which has raised about $10 billion in aggregate committed capital since its 2011 founding, already owns Staples – the parent company of Staples Promotional Products (asi/120061), which is the second-largest distributor in the promo products market.

Now Sycamore has acquired Digital Room, a Sherman Oaks, CA-based e-commerce provider of customized marketing products that include an array of logoed apparel, bags, flyers, banners, drinkware, various hard goods and more.

The California-headquartered company connects with customers through e-commerce print and promo sites that include Uprinting.com, Signs.com, logosportswear.com, packola.com, eSigns.com, PrintPlace.com, NextDayFlyers.com, PrintRunner.com, and 48HourPrint.com.
