For makers, digital artisans, schools and educational teams, hardware startups, institutional and corporate sponsors participating in Maker Faire Rome — The European Edition at Fiera di Roma and needing maker and staff uniforms, branded shoppers and educational kits, startup gifts and delegation welcome kits, with coordinated delivery to the Portuense venue.
Maker Faire Rome — The European Edition is Europe’s largest gathering for innovation, digital fabrication, robotics, Internet of Things, 3D printing, educational making and the culture of making, organised by Innova Camera under the direction of the Fondazione Maker Faire and with the support of European, national and regional institutions. The 2027 edition is articulated across three days of exhibition at Fiera di Roma (Via Portuense), with thematic pavilions dedicated to Robotics, Education, Digital Fabrication, Circular Economy, Aerospace, AgriTech, MedTech, Sustainability, Open Hardware and Innovation, a packed calendar of workshops, talks, live demos, hackathons, robotics competitions and startup pitches, plus a wide educational area dedicated to schools, universities, technical schools and vocational training centres.
For a fair that brings together individual makers, FabLabs, schools, universities, hardware startups, corporate sponsors and public institutions, the B2B merch reaches a very different audience set from traditional trade fairs: makers exhibiting prototypes and wanting to equip their stand with welcome kits for visitors, schools and educational teams bringing classes and looking for branded teaching gadgets, hardware startups following the Innovation pavilion and needing representative material for meetings with investors and buyers, corporate sponsors running hospitality and previews, public institutions following the dedicated pavilion for the PA, trade press (tech, innovation, education) and professional visitors. Corp-Merch.IT operates as an external B2B supplier to these productions: no role as official partner, sponsor or representative of Maker Faire Rome — only the technical handling of merch on briefs, graphics and audiences defined by the commissioning party.
For Italian clients holding a VAT number, invoices are issued via the Agenzia delle Entrate Sistema di Interscambio (SdI) with 22% VAT in EUR; reduced rates of 4%, 5% or 10% apply to eligible product categories (books, editorial print, art pieces, audiovisual supports). Reverse charge for intra-EU buyers registered with VIES, split payment for public bodies, and Codice Destinatario / PEC for electronic delivery of the invoice. Corp-Merch.IT is a registered Italian VAT operator, enrolled with VIES, and handles self-invoicing for the PA under Italian law. For corporate clients subject to CSRD reporting (D.Lgs. 125/2024, transposing Directive (EU) 2022/2464) we provide a sustainability sheet per order with Scope 3 CO₂e estimates aligned with the GHG Protocol, ESRS E1 (Climate Change), E5 (Resource Use) and S2 (Workers in the Value Chain), useful for non-financial disclosure. For startups and makers moving material intra-EU and extra-EU we operate as Authorised Economic Operator (AEOF) and handle CMR, packing list, origin declaration and customs clearance.
For hardware startups also present at CES in Las Vegas, IFA in Berlin and Web Summit in Lisbon we replicate the planning with an annual supply contract spanning multiple fairs, dedicated discounts and a single contact for the management of graphic briefs, samples and logistics. For makers and FabLabs also following the sector fairs (Rome Maker Faire, Milan Maker Faire, Florence Maker Faire) we replicate the planning with deliveries at the beginning of the installation so the material is already in hand on the first day of opening.
Organic cotton T-shirts, piqué polos and hooded sweatshirts in certified cotton-fleece, in the palette of the maker, FabLab or school, tailored for the educational team, the makers staffing the stand and the tutors following the classes across the three days. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 on skin-contact textiles where required.
FSC-paper shoppers with FabLab or school-team logo stamping, educational kits in recycled cardboard with branded teaching gadgets, information libretti for schools and startup catalogues on FSC- or PEFC-certified paper, handed to visitors leaving the pavilions.
Mini bound notebooks, bamboo or aluminium pens, personalised badges for the Innovation pavilion, small eco-friendly tech accessories (steel water bottles, bamboo charging cables) for hardware startups following the pitches and meetings with investors.
Coordinated boxes with sponsor graphics, limited editions for hospitality, small branded tech-design objects and representative gifts for institutional delegations following the educational and Innovation calendar.
Before launching production, artwork, quantities, packaging and on-site recipients must be confirmed. Delivery address, contact, time window and phone number must be cross-checked against the latest calendar issued by the Maker Faire Rome organisation office (Innova Camera) or by the commissioning party’s office (maker, school, startup, sponsor): the event is held at Fiera di Roma (Via Portuense 1645), with vehicle accesses from Via Portuense and Via della Magliana, exhibitor and visitor parking lots, hospitality warehouses and a loading calendar for the thematic pavilion stands. Fiera di Roma is on the Grande Raccordo Anulare network, with dedicated accesses from Via Portuense, Via della Magliana and Via Isacco Newton; deliveries must be coordinated with carriers familiar with the Portuense exhibition-hub logistics, the heavy-vehicle access gates and the pavilion loading windows.
For an Italian programme routed via Milan, deliveries depart from our hub and reach Rome in 24–48-hour windows via BRT, SDA, GLS or DHL Express, by appointment for Fiera di Roma venues. For programmes above 1,000 pieces we offer appointment delivery with phone pre-notice and, on request, on-site set-up by our staff directly at the maker stands and the educational and Innovation pavilions. For materials that require controlled-environment conditions (maker prototypes, limited editions, small backstage tech objects) we coordinate climate-controlled transport with specialised partners. For clients subject to CSRD reporting (D.Lgs. 125/2024) we provide a sustainability PO sheet with Scope 3 CO₂e estimates aligned with the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain on the Milan–Rome leg and from the production districts indicated.
For startups and makers also following the autumn editions of Maker Faire Rome we replicate the planning with a new dedicated PO for the following year, realigned to the updated Innova Camera calendar. For startups touring their team from one fair to the next we replicate the individual kit with a new personalised set (travel shoppers, hotel welcome kits, personalised badges).
The brief for Maker Faire Rome starts with alignment on the visual references of the maker, FabLab, school or sponsor (logo, palette, campaign claim), on the iconic elements of the event to bring into the merch, on the items to be quoted, and on the quantities per recipient (educational staff, makers, startups, sponsors, institutional delegations, school classes, professional visitors). Corp-Merch.IT replies with a structured proposal within 48 business hours, complete with a physical sample for the most critical pieces (shoppers, educational kits, tech gadgets), technical sheets for the serial items and a base quote with prices and MOQs per tier: starter (50–249 pieces per code), standard (250–999), enterprise (1,000–4,999), corporate (5,000+).
On the artwork side we receive the master files of the maker, FabLab, school or sponsor (AI, EPS, PDF/X-4, CMYK images at 300 dpi) and we manage the graphic adaptation for the different techniques: digital printing on FSC paper, blind embossing and hot-foil stamping on educational libretti, screen printing on shoppers and T-shirts, embroidery on fabrics, laser engraving on bamboo and wood, pad printing on small metallic objects, UV printing on small tech accessories (smartphone covers, cable cases). For graphics requiring multiple versions (maker, school, sponsor, Innovation pavilion) we manage versioning and intermediate approvals. Physical samples are produced and shipped to the commissioner for approval by the fifth week of brief; for perfect-bound educational kits, limited-run tech gadgets and custom small leather goods the times extend by 1–2 weeks depending on the processing.
Standard commercial terms are 30 days from invoice date, 10% confirmatory deposit on the first order for new clients, improved terms after the first 90 days of history. Invoices are issued in EUR with 22% VAT via SdI; for intra-EU commissioners we apply reverse charge with letter of intent integration, and for public bodies we activate split payment. For corporate clients requiring tracked payment to a dedicated IBAN we also replicate the reconciliation by cost centre and job code.
For makers, schools, startups and sponsors operating around Maker Faire Rome, the quality and traceability profile of the materials matters as much as the visual identity. We work with Italian manufacturers holding ISO 9001 (quality), ISO 14001 (environmental management) and SA8000 or equivalent for social responsibility, and with the certifications required by the education, innovation and tech segment: OEKO-TEX Standard 100 on skin-contact textiles (T-shirts, polos, cotton shoppers), GOTS on organic cotton, GRS on recycled polyester, FSC on paper and packaging (educational kits, libretti, shoppers), PEFC on alternative paper and cardboard, EU Ecolabel on cellulosic supports.
For small wooden objects (Bagno di Romagna, Trentino) and bamboo items (Veneto district) the manufacturers can issue wood traceability, origin declaration and REACH SVHC compliance on the finishes. For metallic items (Maniago, Lombardy) we obtain conformity declarations under Reg. UE 1007/2011 on textile fibre designations where applicable and under Reg. CE 1907/2006 (REACH) on metallic materials. On packaging, the paper-goods manufacturers (Florence, Fabriano, Veneto) propose FSC or PEFC and, on request, plastic-free solutions with vegetable inks, in line with EU Regulation 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste and with D.Lgs. 152/2006 (Testo Unico Ambientale). For tech gadgets (cables, chargers, supports) Directives 2014/30/EU (EMC) and 2014/35/EU (LVD) and Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 on batteries are applied where applicable.
For clients subject to CSRD reporting (D.Lgs. 125/2024, transposing Directive (EU) 2022/2464) we integrate a sustainability sheet into the PO with Scope 3 CO₂e estimates aligned with the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain on the Milan–Rome leg and from the production districts indicated, with references to ESRS E1 (Climate Change), E5 (Resource Use) and S2 (Workers in the Value Chain), useful for the commissioner’s sustainability reporting.
Eight to ten weeks is the safest window for perfect-bound educational kits, limited-run tech gadgets and startup welcome kits. Tighter programmes are possible only when stock, personalisation techniques and Fiera di Roma access are all confirmed in the brief phase.
Only when the Maker Faire Rome organisation office (Innova Camera) or the maker has confirmed the time window, the vehicle access to the pavilion and the stand contact. For Fiera di Roma, carriers familiar with the Via Portuense and Via della Magliana gates and the thematic pavilion loading windows are required.
Yes. The material can be packed and labelled in separate lots, one per recipient type (maker, FabLab, school, startup, institutional sponsor, visiting classes, trade press).
