Still in Expert Hands
If you previously worked with C&S Hot Stamping, you are in the right place.
While C&S Hot Stamping is no longer in business, Softline has taken on many of their former clients and continues to support ASI and PPAI members with high-quality hot stamping, foil stamping, debossing, embossing, and promotional product decoration.
Our role is simple: to ensure continuity, quality, and confidence for brands and distributors who rely on premium decoration and dependable execution.
Continuing the Work You Trusted C&S Hot Stamping For
Founded in 1981, C&S Hot Stamping earned the trust of the promotional products industry through craftsmanship, flexibility, fast turnarounds, and a genuine “yes, we can” approach. Their clients came to expect thoughtful guidance, attention to detail, and reliable results across a wide range of materials and decorating methods.
Softline understands those expectations because many of the clients who relied on C&S now rely on us.
While we are not affiliated with C&S Hot Stamping, we proudly support many of the same programs, product types, and use cases, providing a smooth transition for brands and distributors who need their work handled with care and consistency.
Decorative Imprinting Services Under One Roof
The right decoration method depends on the product, the material, and the end use. That’s why Softline offers multiple imprinting and decorating techniques, allowing each project to be approached thoughtfully rather than forced into a single solution.
- Hot stamping & foil stamping
- Debossing & embossing
- Embroidery
- Promotional product decoration and personalization
For promotional products and branded goods, this flexibility ensures the final result looks intentional, refined, and on brand.
Materials We Decorate
Softline works across the materials commonly used in promotional products, corporate gifts, and branded merchandise. Our teams regularly decorate leather, canvas, nylon, felt, PU, vegan leather, synthetic leather, exotic leather, and fabric.
Whether the item is a high-end retail piece or a functional promotional product, we take the same care in evaluating material behavior, finish durability, and visual impact before recommending an imprint method.
Built for ASI & PPAI Members
Softline works closely with ASI and PPAI distributors, suppliers, and brand partners who need a decoration and manufacturing partner that understands how the promotional products industry operates.
That means clear communication, realistic timelines, artwork accuracy, and the ability to support both small runs and larger programs without compromising quality. Our role is to make your job easier by handling the details correctly the first time.
This service is designed for:
- Promotional product distributors
- Brand merchandisers
- Corporate gifting programs
- Agencies managing high-end branded goods
- Clients who value quality over shortcuts
- Small to large production runs
Quality, Turnaround & Service Philosophy
Clients who came from C&S expect more than just a finished product. They expect guidance, responsiveness, and consistency.
Softline brings those same values together with the depth of a vertically integrated manufacturing partner. Our teams focus on quality control at every stage, clear project coordination, and reliable turnaround times, backed by domestic manufacturing expertise and scalable production capabilities.
When questions come up, you get straight answers. When challenges arise, you get solutions.
- Close attention to detail on premium items
- Clear guidance on the right decoration method
- Consistent quality control
- Reliable timelines and communication
- Domestic manufacturing expertise backed by global capabilities
