Why we print to order (and what that means for you)

Every item on this site is printed after you order it. Nothing is made in advance, and nothing sits in a warehouse waiting to be discounted or thrown away.

What that changes

It means we can carry hundreds of designs across half a dozen product types without gambling on which colour of which artwork will sell. It also means the thing you receive was made for you, within a few days of you asking for it.

The trade-off is honest: printing takes one to five working days before your parcel is handed to the carrier. If you need something by a date, factor that in.

How the print is applied

Garment designs are printed directly onto the fabric rather than sitting on top of it as a thick vinyl patch, so the finish stays soft and moves with the cloth. Embroidered pieces are stitched rather than printed, which is why they carry a different price and a slightly longer lead time.

Making it last

Wash inside out at 30°, skip the tumble dryer, and iron on the reverse. A print treated that way will outlast the garment underneath it.
