How it works

From logo to shelf.

01Send your artwork

Tell us what you want printed.

Garment, placement, rough quantity. A vague idea is a fine start, and we come back with a price and an estimated timeline.

02Approve your proof

Nothing prints until you say yes.

A proof at actual size and placement on the garment you picked. Revise it as many times as you need.

03We print and deliver

Delivered, with updates on timing.

Half down to start, the balance before it leaves us.

Folded merch stocked on open shelving behind a brewery bar, with the taps and glassware beyond.

The shelf

Printed for the crew. Sold at the counter.

One order, two jobs. Your crew gets something worth wearing, and your counter gets something to sell.

The shop

Our team, start to finish.

No ticket number, no queue, nobody handing your order off. The people who quote your job are the ones who make your shirts, and runs go as large as you need.

01

Blanks worth printing on

We say when a cheaper blank costs you the reorder, and when it will not.

02

Your artwork stays on file

We keep your files and specs on record, so the second run is quicker than the first.

03

Two years on our own label

We ran a surf and lifestyle brand and took the whole line from design to delivery.

04

Local, and reachable

Up and down this coast. When it is easier in person, we come to you.

Who we work with

If your name goes on it, we print it.

Taprooms, counters, kitchens, front desks and job sites. The garment changes, the standard does not.

Companies

Selling merch

The same shirt, with a price on it.

Staff shirts cost you money. The same shirt on a shelf with a price tag makes you money. Most shops we talk to have only ever done the first one.

  • You set the priceOrder a small run and sell them for whatever you want. What you make on the ones you sell can pay for the ones you hand to your staff.
  • It sells when nobody is sellingA shelf of shirts keeps making money on a slow afternoon, without anyone having to pitch it.
  • Every shirt keeps workingA customer wearing your name around town all weekend is advertising you did not pay for.

What changes

Every counter is a storefront.

Good to know

What shops ask us first.

Is there a minimum order?

There is, and we keep it low. It counts per order rather than per design, so any mix of sizes goes toward one run and you can split it across more than one design. Garment colors do not split it, so a mixed color order is still one run. A second print position adds cost rather than a second minimum. Tell us what you are ordering and we will confirm the minimum for it.

What does an order cost?

Price moves with what you put it on, how big the print is, how many places it goes, and how many you order. Print size does the most work, and ordering more brings the per piece price down as well. There is no setup fee, and a design is never priced higher for its colors. A very simple design sometimes opens a cheaper route, and we will tell you when yours does. Tell us those and we come back with a total and an estimated timeline, usually the same day. A quote costs nothing.

How long does it take, and when does the clock start?

Your quote includes an estimated timeline for that specific order. It depends on how many orders we have in progress, shipping times for materials and the details of your job, so it is an estimate rather than a guaranteed date. The clock starts the day you approve your proof, not the day you first write to us, so sitting on a proof for a week moves the timeline by a week. If anything changes it, you hear from us straight away.

What if my logo is not print ready?

Send whatever you have. Vector is best, an AI, EPS or editable PDF at print size, and a layered PSD at 300 DPI works too. If all you have is the logo pulled off your website, we will tell you honestly whether it holds up before you spend anything.

Do I see it before it prints?

You have to. We send a proof showing the print at actual size and placement on your garment, and it goes on a press only once you approve it in writing. Revise it as often as you need, and read every word twice, because the approved proof is what gets printed.

What happens if something comes out wrong?

A production defect on our end, we reprint it and you do not pay twice. An error in artwork you already approved, we tell you plainly what a rerun costs and let you decide. Either way you get the straight answer.

What can you print on?

Tees, tanks, crops, long sleeve, polos, hoodies, crewnecks, fleece and totes. Tell us the fit you are after and we put two or three blanks in front of you. Premium blanks earn their money on a run you intend to sell. On a back of house staff shirt they usually do not, and we will say so.

How does payment work?

Half the total starts production, the balance is due before it leaves us. Nothing is owed to get a quote or see a proof. Card charges appear as Plumors Merch.

Longer answers live in our guides. Not covered anywhere? Email hello@plumorsmerch.com and we will answer it ourselves.
