Merch Design & Production

Apparel, print and promotional items designed in-house, with production and suppliers managed end to end so you get finished goods, not artwork files.

Overview

Apparel, print and promotional items designed in-house, with production and suppliers managed end to end so you get finished goods, not artwork files.

Designed to be kept

The test is whether someone would choose the item if it had no logo on it. A small mark on a genuinely good piece outperforms a large mark on a cheap one every time.

Production managed

Blanks, print method, placement and sizing across the run all decide whether it survives washing and looks like the sample. We handle the suppliers and the quality control.

What you get

Finished goods delivered, not a folder of print-ready files and a list of printers to ring.

The test that predicts everything

Would someone choose this item if it had no logo on it? If yes, the mark gets carried into the world for years. If no, it goes in a drawer and you have paid to be associated with something disappointing.

A small mark on a genuinely good product outperforms a large mark on a cheap one every time. Fewer and better is nearly always the right call.

Production decisions that matter

The blank, first: the same print reads premium on a heavyweight garment and disposable on a thin one, and the cost difference is smaller than people expect.

Then the method. Screen printing for flat colour at volume, embroidery for durability at the cost of fine detail, DTG for complexity. Choosing before the artwork is finalised saves redrawing it.

Then placement across the size run, which is the most common reason a batch looks amateur despite good artwork.

Distribution is part of the design

Decide who gets these, when, and how they physically reach them before the order is placed. That decision changes the quantity, the size split and often the item itself.

Anything with sizing needs a real size curve. Getting it wrong leaves you with forty extra-smalls and no larges, which is the same as having ordered forty fewer.
