As we move into the second half of 2025, Pyramid International is gearing up for a powerful Q3 packed with product innovation, sustainability wins, and customer-first strategy.

Print-On-Demand Growth (And Why Retailers Love It)

Our UK-based Print-On-Demand (POD) service continues to pick up pace. Designed to be fast, flexible, and high-quality, POD has become a key offering for retailers wanting to react quickly to:

• Trending moments
• Niche fan demand
• Seasonal collections

Low minimum order quantities mean you can trial new designs without the upfront commitment. From wall art to mugs and cotton garments, our POD service helps you move with speed and confidence.

Expanding Licensed Ranges: What’s New?

Licensing remains at the heart of what we do. This year, we’ve expanded into exciting new territory across:

• Anime favourites
• Cult classic films
• Retro gaming IPs
• Fan-favourite characters from film and TV

Our Premium Gift Sets, newly refreshed fashion backpacks, and diverse drinkware lines continue to perform exceptionally well, thanks to:

• Exclusive in-house artwork
• Influencer support and authentic UGC content
• Shelf-ready packaging that pops

We’re also seeing a strong lead-in to the back-to-school season. Our stationery, backpacks and drinkware ranges feature top licences like Minecraft, Stitch and Super Mario—to name just a few—making them ideal for kids, teens, and nostalgic kidults alike!

Green Initiatives: Taking Sustainability Further

We’re not just talking the talk. Sustainability is part of our everyday operations—and it’s something we’re constantly working to improve. In 2025 so far, we’ve:

• Increased the use of recyclable and reduced packaging
• Improved energy efficiency in our UK warehouse
• Continued our Treeapp partnership, planting hundreds of trees globally to celebrate milestones like:
  • New employee hires
  • New account openings
  • Product category growth

Behind the scenes, we’ve also been reducing our energy consumption year on year. Electricity usage is down over the last three years, with further improvements expected as we invest in self-generated renewable energy solutions. We’ve also seen consistent reductions in our gas, diesel, and water usage across the business.

Our creative and sourcing teams have been hard at work too—transforming how our packaging is produced. Over the last 18 months, we’ve moved 57% of our product lines away from single-use plastic packaging to plastic-free or low-plastic alternatives.

This ongoing commitment allows retailers to align with customer values and stock merchandise with a greener story behind it.

What Retailers Can Expect in Q3 (and Beyond)

As we approach the summer season and key sales windows, we’re focused on:

1. Speed – Rapid turnaround on core and POD lines
2. Service – Retailer-first account management
3. Standout Design – Artwork and packaging made to drive sell-through
