Corporate merch in Kobuleti

Branded merchandise for Kobuleti-based Black Sea resort operators, hospitality and guesthouse buyers, and the wider Adjara-coast tourism cluster. Production in Tbilisi, dispatch via Batumi along the Black Sea coast to Kobuleti in roughly 6 hours, with VAT 18% e-invoicing through RS.ge.

Why Kobuleti matters in the merch plan

Kobuleti is the principal Black Sea resort town between Batumi and Poti, sitting on a 10-km stretch of magnetite-rich black sand beach that draws a particular buyer mix: family-run resort hotels, guesthouse and small-hotel clusters, beachfront hospitality operators, and the seasonal water-sports and excursion businesses that operate between June and September. The town pulls two distinct buyer groups: the Adjara-resort and hospitality operators who run the summer peak, and the off-season regional buyer activity tied to the Kobuleti municipality and the Batumi-based Adjara state representative office.

The Kobuleti order profile is dominated by sub-500 unit runs of resort-and-hospitality merch — branded beach totes, embroidered polos and aprons for hotel staff, ceramic souvenirs, magnets, photo-quality coasters, welcome packs for guesthouse guests, and water-sports-branded apparel for the seasonal excursion operators. Above that, the public-sector buyer activity sits inside the Kobuleti municipality and the Batumi-based Adjara state representative office, with civic-recognition awards and the regional tourism cycle driving 2–4 large annual drops.

Logistics and dispatch to Kobuleti

The Tbilisi–Kobuleti route runs west on the Mtskheta–Khashuri highway and then south through the Rikoti tunnel and down to Batumi along the Adjara coast, with Kobuleti a further 20 km north of Batumi on the coast road. Total drive time is 6 hours in dry weather and 7–8 hours in winter when the Adjara mountain road can be affected by snow. Most orders to Kobuleti move by road on the same day with overnight trucking available for the heavier drops.

For summer-season buyers the timing matters: the June pre-season order deadline is typically mid-April, the peak-season restock deadline is end of June, and the end-of-season close-out runs through September. We stage stock at the Batumi receiving warehouse 24–48 hours before the resort opens each week to absorb the coast road variability, and we coordinate the final leg into Kobuleti with local partner carriers.

Production & logistics

Production runs from our Tbilisi cluster — silkscreen, embroidery, DTF, sublimation, UV flatbed and laser engraving are all in-house. For Kobuleti resort and hospitality buyers we typically recommend embroidery on polos and aprons for hotel staff, silkscreen on cotton beach totes and t-shirts, UV print on ceramic and acrylic souvenirs, and laser engraving on metal and wood accessories. Lead time is 5–12 business days after artwork sign-off for textile decoration; 3–7 business days for hard goods.

For DCFTA-aligned export buyers (European tourism distributors and HoReCa suppliers) we prepare EUR.1 movement certificates and CMR waybills for cross-border road freight via the Sarpi–Turkey crossing on the Black Sea coast. Air freight for time-sensitive restocks runs through Batumi International Airport cargo with AWB documentation and onward truck to Kobuleti.
