ORDERING
What's the minimum order quantity?+
Most custom programs start at 100 pieces. We usually keep that within one product style and one decoration setup.
What's the difference between Full Custom and Quick Turn?+
Full Custom is fully custom: your fabric, your shape, built from scratch. Quick Turn uses premium blanks decorated locally for faster turnarounds.
Who can place an order?+
Orders must be placed by someone 18 or older who is authorized to order on behalf of their organization.
DESIGN + ARTWORK
Do I need to have artwork ready?+
No. We can work from a rough idea, a brief, screenshots, or a strong reference folder. If you already have art, vector files (.ai, .eps, .pdf) are best.
Can you design my merch for me?+
Yes. We offer in-house design support for merch graphics, packaging, labels, trims, and production-ready artwork.
What if my files aren't production-ready?+
Our in-house design team works with most file types. If artwork needs extra work, like recreating, resizing, or cleanup, design fees may apply. We'll let you know before starting.
Will the finished product look exactly like the mockup?+
Mockups show the intended design, but they're approximations. Embroidery, print, and other decoration methods behave differently depending on size and material, so fine details and small text may need to be enlarged or simplified. The approved sample, or the tech pack if there's no sample, is the standard for your finished product.
What if you recommend a change and I'd rather keep my design?+
It's your call. If you proceed against a recommendation we've made in writing, like keeping text smaller than we advise, the result isn't considered a defect.
PROCESS + APPROVALS
How do I place an order?+
Once we align on product, quantity, decoration, and pricing, we invoice the order and collect payment in full.
What are the next steps?+
After payment, we build your tech pack, confirm artwork and specs, and send them for your approval. Production begins once the tech pack is approved. If your order includes a pre-production sample, we'll send it for approval before producing the full order.
How do approvals work?+
All approvals must be in writing. Please review everything carefully. Approved tech packs and samples are final, and we produce exactly what you approve.
How quickly do I need to respond to a sample?+
Please approve or request changes within 1 business day of receiving a pre-production sample. Late responses push the timeline back by the same amount.
SAMPLES
Can I see samples before ordering?+
Yes. Blank samples are available for the cost of the product plus shipping. Decorated samples are quoted by product and decoration method. Decorated or custom samples are only made after a bulk order is placed. Sample fees are non-refundable.
PRICING + PAYMENT
How is pricing determined?+
Pricing depends on product, quantity, materials, decoration method, and complexity. We quote every project individually so the number reflects the actual build.
Are there hidden fees?+
No. Your quote covers the order as approved. If you request something extra along the way, like changes, added samples, rush production, or upgraded shipping, we'll invoice it separately, and it's due on receipt. Sales tax isn't included unless stated on your quote.
What's your payment structure?+
We take payment in full, then we create your tech pack and approval process.
CHANGES, CANCELLATIONS + REFUNDS
Can I make changes after I approve?+
Sometimes, depending on where your order is in production. Changes are at our discretion, may add cost including our time and materials, and can shift your timeline.
Can I cancel my order?+
Before your tech pack is approved, cancellations receive a credit toward a future order, minus any development fees and costs incurred. Credits are valid for 1 year. Once the tech pack is approved and production begins, orders can't be canceled.
Do you offer refunds?+
Because every order is made to order, we don't issue refunds. Eligible cancellations receive credit instead.
TIMELINES + SHIPPING
How long does it take?+
Quick Turn is usually 2–3 weeks and Full Custom is typically 6–8 weeks, both from tech pack approval. Timelines are estimates and depend on the product, materials, and production path.
Can you guarantee my delivery date?+
We'll do everything we can to hit your date, but we can't guarantee delivery dates. Sample revisions, changes, holidays, freight, customs, weather, and carrier delays can all affect timing. Rush production and faster shipping are available for an added fee, but they don't guarantee a date either.
Do you ship internationally?+
We primarily ship within the US, but we can quote international delivery when the project calls for it.
Can you split ship orders to multiple locations?+
Yes. We can usually break shipments across offices, stores, teams, or event locations. Let us know early so we can build it into the quote and delivery plan.
QUALITY + DEFECTS
Will every piece be identical?+
Our goods are made by hand, so small variations in color, thread, placement, and material are normal and expected. Final quantities may also vary by up to 5%, with any difference billed or credited at the unit price.
What if something arrives defective?+
Let us know within 5 days of delivery, with clear photos. We'll review every claim. If we confirm a manufacturing defect, we'll repair, replace, remake, or credit the affected items. We may ask you to return them first. Variations within normal tolerances aren't considered defects, and claims reported after 5 days aren't eligible.
PRODUCTS
What products do you offer?+
Hats, apparel, socks, drinkware, bags, accessories, packaging, blankets, towels, and more. If it fits the brand, we can usually source or build it.
