Placing an Order
You can place an order by choosing the product you would like to customize via the CREATE menu, such as a t-shirt or a mug, and then clicking the ‘Customize’ button once the specific product is selected. You will then be directed to a design tool where you can add text, upload photos and place them exactly as you like on the product.

You can also choose from pre-designed products from our SHOP menu.

Once complete you can choose the sizes if applicable and add to cart. Once you are done creating all the items and adding them to the cart, you can then click check out, enter your details and complete your order.
Once you choose a product that you would like to customize from the ‘Create’ menu, you will see a ‘Customize’ button inside the product page. Once you click this button it will take you to the design tool where you can upload your own photos or add any text you like.
Nope! All products that you see available for purchase or customizing on the website have no minimum order quantity. You can get just one! We do have minimums for some products shown on our bulk order pages such as USBs and Pens. Get in touch to learn more.
The prices shown for each product is the price for the product including printing. For products with multiple sides such as t-shirts and hoodies, the price is inclusive of one side of printing. In the design tool, as you add text or photos to each side of the product, the price will update in real-time and show you the breakdown of how it is calculated within the design tool itself.
Each product page has a description of the product which describes its materials and other relevant details.
On each product page, at the bottom there will be a size chart which you can use as a reference when deciding what size t-shirt, hoodie, flip-flops or other product you would like.

Yes we can in most cases. It depends on the material of the garment that you bring but anything cotton, polyester or even most blends are fine and we can print on them. Note that some designs have restrictions in terms of colors and printing methods so we will be able to assess this when you come by. We recommend that you send across the design before-hand via email so that we can check it for you and also open it up easily once you come into the office. If your design(s) are confidential, feel free to bring them with you on USB.
