In 2003, Hanover Investors, a private equity firm, purchased over 25% of 4imprint over the course of a month.[12] They led a shareholder rebellion, and shareholders called for the removal of all non-executive directors after talks between 4imprint and Hanover Investors broke down.[13]

4imprint established a distribution center in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in 2009.[14] In 2012, it sold Kreyer Promotion Service GmbH and Brand Addition Limited to European affiliate companies of H.I.G. Capital for £24 million.[15]

The company was named by Fortune as one of the top 10 places to work in the advertising and marketing industry in the US in 2016.[16]

It involved 1,488 new solar panels to the and brought the total to some 4,000.[21] This was part of a programme to expand its North American headquarters in Oshkosh announced in 2015.[22][14] The State of Wisconsin, through its Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, has supported the company with state tax credits, dependent upon the number of jobs created through the expansion.[23] This large facility is home to some 50% of the total workforce.[24][25]
