HOW WE DO IT

You can find the full details on how your merch will be made including the initial design, the approval process and the finishing touches.

THE DESIGN

THE DESIGN |

001. THE ART

The first thing you need is a design for your merch! This might be a logo, a stunning artwork or text. Once you have decided on how you want the apparel to look, it’s time to get in contact.

Once we have the artwork, we can start to create a quote for you based on how many pieces you want to print and how many designs you have.

Once the quote is sorted, we begin the preparation and eProof for your approval before we get started.

Top tip!

Make sure to send us a fully expanded vector file (.ai, .pdf, .eps) or if you’re going to send a JPEG or PNG make sure it’s 300dpi!

002. ePROOF FOR YOUR APPROVAL

You’ve got the art sorted, you’ve sent through the info and now it’s time for the most important part of the process- the eProof.

We’ll send you a mock-up of what the design will look like on the shirt for position, dimension, colour, and size. This is your chance to make sure this is exactly what you envisioned for your merch!

The back features an illustrated girl with black hair holding a strawberry, with a red and cream-colored design. The form includes details like customer name 'MADE-IN', order quantities in sizes S, M, L, XL, and color codes, print details, and print approval checklist.

Top Tip!

Always triple-check the spelling because once it’s been approved we’re locked in.

Relabelling

  • We have a fantastic seamstress who can relabel your garments so seamlessly, you wouldn’t know they weren’t the original.

Folding/Bagging

  • Folding by hand is a thing of the past, we have the Speedy Tee 2000 meaning we can have it folded and bagged in record time.
