Four simple steps

From idea to your community’s doorstep

Step 1

Design your products

Pick from thousands of products and choose how they’re decorated using our self-service product builder — or hand your artwork to our design team. Unlimited products, unlimited designs.

Step 2

Launch your store

Choose a storefront — a simple store, one embedded right into your website, or a premium white-labeled store — add your branding, and share the link. People pick their own sizes and pay online. See a live demo store →

Step 3

We print & ship every order

We print each item on demand and ship it directly to the buyer, and we handle all the payment processing and order management. Nothing for you to store or fulfill. Need a large bulk run instead? We do that too.

Step 4

Your people get their gear

Everyone gets gear they’re proud to wear. And if you’re raising money, you set your own markup and keep 100% of the difference — paid out quarterly by check or ACH once your balance reaches $50.

How your design gets on it

Nine ways to decorate, matched to your product

We choose the right method for each product and design — here’s our full toolkit.

Direct-to-Garment

Water-based ink sprayed right into the fabric for soft, detailed prints on apparel.

Direct-to-Film

A printed film heat-pressed onto the garment — vivid color and great durability.

Screen Printing

Ink pushed through a stencil screen — the classic, vibrant choice for larger bulk runs.

Screen Print Transfers

A screen-printed film heat-pressed onto the product — sharp detail with a soft feel.

Dye Sublimation

The design is infused into the product with heat — perfect for full-color, all-over prints.

Embroidery

Stitched with needle and thread for an elevated look on hats, polos, and jackets.

UV Printing

Applied directly to hard surfaces — wood, glass, metal, ceramic, and hard plastic.

Laser Engraving

The laser etches your design into the surface for a clean, permanent mark.

Heat Seal Patch

Engraved leather-look patches heat-pressed onto your product for a premium touch.

Who we print for

Printing and decoration for nonprofits, schools, teams & businesses

We handle custom printing and decoration for nonprofits, schools, sports teams, churches, and businesses — apparel, hats, bags, drinkware, and hard goods, printed on demand. No minimums, no inventory, no boxes of unsold gear in a closet. We print each order as it comes in and ship it straight to the person who bought it.

No minimums, no inventory

Order one or a thousand — it’s print-on-demand, so there’s no fronting cash or guessing sizes. Everyone picks their own and pays online. (Folks sometimes call this nonprofit swag or merch — same thing: custom gear your people are proud to wear.)

Every method under one roof

All nine of our real methods — Direct-to-Garment, Direct-to-Film, Screen Printing, Screen Print Transfers, Dye Sublimation, Embroidery, UV Printing, Laser Engraving, and Heat Seal Patches — matched to the right product and design.

Bulk runs when you need them

On-demand is the default, but we also print and ship in bulk for events, conferences, and giveaways — message us for bulk pricing. See printing pricing for every method, explore printing for fundraisers, or start your nonprofit merch store.

Questions, answered

What can you print on? +
Just about anything — apparel, hats, bags, drinkware, and hard goods. T-shirts are our most popular, but if you don’t see what you’re looking for in the catalog, ask and we’ll try to source it.
What artwork do you need? +
Vector files (.ai, .eps, or .pdf) or a high-resolution PNG with a transparent background at 300 DPI when scaled to the print size. Don’t have print-ready art? Our design team can help — design work is billed based on the time it takes.
How long can my store stay open? +
As long as you want. Run a short-term campaign or keep a store open year-round for ongoing sales — it’s entirely up to you.
Do you only print on demand? +
On-demand is the default — we make and ship each item as it’s ordered, so there’s no inventory. We can also print and ship in bulk; message us and we’ll provide bulk pricing.
How do I get paid if I’m fundraising? +
You set the final sales price; your organization keeps 100% of the difference between that and the item cost. We pay out quarterly by check or ACH once your balance reaches $50, at the end of a campaign, or upon request.
How do I get started? +
Click “Start your store” to get in touch, and a real person on our team will guide you through the whole process.
Do you offer printing for nonprofits? +

We handle custom printing and decoration for nonprofits, schools, sports teams, churches, and businesses — apparel, hats, bags, drinkware, and hard goods, printed on demand with no minimums and no inventory. Folks sometimes call it nonprofit swag or merch — same thing: custom gear your people are proud to wear.
Can you do nonprofit t-shirt printing with no minimum order? +
Yes. Order one shirt or a thousand — it’s print-on-demand, so there’s no minimum, no fronting cash, and no guessing sizes. Everyone picks their own size and pays online, and we ship each order directly to the buyer.
What printing and decoration methods do you use? +
We use nine methods, matched to the right product and design: Direct-to-Garment, Direct-to-Film, Screen Printing, Screen Print Transfers, Dye Sublimation, Embroidery, UV Printing, Laser Engraving, and Heat Seal Patches.
