Projects that started as "can you even do that?"
Designs generated from data
Feed us a nickname, a score, a route, a chart or a commit history and get a unique print per customer. The engine renders the preview and the print file. Game example →
One-weekend drops
A design that exists for 48 hours around a launch, a match or a conference, then disappears. Nothing is left over because nothing was printed early.
Event and tour merch
Sell before, during and after the event from the same link, with no crates to haul and no leftovers to store. Events →
Physical rewards inside a product
A pop-up in your app that lets a user claim a real shirt when they hit a milestone, paid by you. Reward →
Unusual product mixes
Beyond apparel: mugs, bottles, caps with embroidery, tote bags, labels and packaging inserts in the same order.
White-label operations
Your branding on the packaging and the inserts, so the parcel looks like it came from your warehouse. Plans →
Four conversations, not a six-month integration
Most custom work is a short loop: you describe the idea, we tell you honestly what printing can and cannot do, we build a test, and then it goes live behind your own brand.
The platform underneath is the same one running the standard stores — production partners, shipping, payments and support are already solved, so the only new part is your idea.
Custom project questions
Yes. Products, orders and generated designs can be driven programmatically, which is how personalization from your own data works.
One. Digital printing has no setup plates, so a single unique piece costs the same per unit as the hundredth.
Digital printing gets close but is not Pantone-exact, and fabric color affects the result. We will tell you honestly where a color will drift before anything is printed.
We do. Each order is routed to the production partner closest to the buyer and ships with tracking to more than 100 countries. Print and delivery problems are on us, not on you.
Your margin accumulates in the dashboard and is paid out automatically every two weeks. You set the retail price, so you decide what that margin is.
