About Rupt

We’re ripping the old promo playbook apart and rebuilding it for a global, on-demand world.

Built different, from the ground up.

After nearly two decades of building businesses together, Jason Lucash and Mike Szymczak thought their promotional products story was finished. But distance gave them a clearer view of what still needed to change.

Products were still being created without enough thought for the people receiving them. Sustainability often stopped at a material claim. Packaging was still designed to be discarded, and global programs continued moving products across oceans instead of producing closer to their destination.

Jason and Mike started with a new vision and one familiar question: What if we built what the industry needed next?

And Rupt was born.

The Rupt difference.

We got tired of an industry that moved slow, wasted resources, and produced things nobody actually wanted to keep. So we rebuilt it, from the supply chain up.

Rupt products are designed for mass customization, not traditional production runs. Qualifying products can be customized on demand starting at just one piece, giving brands the freedom to create for one recipient, an entire organization, or anyone in between.

No excess inventory. No unnecessary minimums. Just premium, design-forward products made for the person receiving them.

Global production, without the global footprint

Being global should mean more than shipping products across oceans.

Rupt produces and decorates qualifying products through a distributed international network, bringing production closer to the final destination. That means faster fulfillment, less unnecessary transportation, reduced inventory, and a more consistent experience for recipients around the world.

We don't follow industry rules, we replace them

Every part of Rupt is designed to challenge what branded products are expected to be.

From recycled materials and Second Life Packaging to on-demand customization and global fulfillment, we create products that feel considerate from beginning to end. Products built to be used, packaging designed to live on, and programs made to move with the people they serve.

Why Rupt

1. Why we started
   We were tired of an industry that moved slow, wasted resources, and produced things nobody actually wanted to keep. So we built something different, a company where every step of production lives under one roof, designed for speed, quality, and intention.

2. How we work
   Real products, process, and collaboration you can see in the result. From sourcing to design to delivery, every decision is made with care, not just to hit a deadline.

3. The people behind it
   We're a team. Just a group of people working together to take an idea and bring it to life across continents, time zones, and deadlines that don't wait.

4. What we're committed to
   We are committed to creating design-forward products people genuinely want to use. We make customization easier, production smarter, and branded experiences more meaningful.

5. Where we're headed
   We're still building. Still asking how things could be better, faster and more thoughtful. Rupt is what happens when you refuse to settle for "good enough."
