blends. Blank garments serve as a canvas for customization, allowing
individuals or businesses to add their own designs, logos, or artwork through
methods like screen printing, embroidery or digital priting.

Here are some of the most common blank products:

How the Ordering Process Works: From Design to
Delivery
Once you've chosen on the clothes blanks you want, the process of having them made and shipped is simple.
We aim to make the experience as smooth as possible.
1. Select Your Fabric
The first
step is choosing your fabric. There are many options of high-quality cotton, polyester, and
cotton-poly blends in a range of weights and colours.
2. Provide Your Design
Next, you’ll
need to provide the design you want printed on the clothing. If you want, our design team can assist you in the development of your design.
3. Choose Your Printing Technique
Explore our printing options, such as screen printing, embroidery, or digital printing
to find the ideal method for your design.
4. Place Your Order and Sampling
Once you’ve
approved the designs and selected your printing method, we will make a sample. Samples
are the beginning of the production process. The samples produced by our partners
are used for testing the fit, quality and pricing of every project. This
process is essential because it reduces production errors and risks, resulting
in long-term cost savings.
5. Production
Once the
sample is approved and all modifications are made, the production process moves
forward. It involves scaling up the production to manufacture the desired
quantity of customized products, using the approved sample as a reference.

checks to guarantee you receive a premium product. They use reputable carriers
