Print on Demand · Real Shop Floor · Cincinnati, OH

Your Design. Our Press. No Mystery Warehouse.

Build a tee, mug, or poster in the Design Lab, shop storefronts from independent artists, or run 250 pieces of corporate merch — every order is proofed by a human the same day and printed in our Camp Washington shop, on production times we publish, misses and all.

How It Works

From File to Doorstep in Four Steps.

No minimums for single pieces, no templates you've seen on nine other sites — and a real person checks your file before it prints.

Pick Your Canvas

Tee, mug, poster, or tote — the Design Lab shows live pricing for every product, color, and size before you upload a thing.

Upload & Place

Drop in your art and the Lab flags hairline strokes, out-of-gamut colors, and low-resolution files before they cost you a print.

Same-Day Proof

A human on the shop floor checks every file and sends a proof the same day. Nothing prints until you approve it.

Printed & Shipped

Water-based inks, archival poster stock, published production times per product — and an email the same day if anything slips.

Creator Storefronts

Independent Artists, Printed In-House.

Every storefront on Foundry belongs to a working artist who keeps their rights and approves a physical proof of every new piece. You buy the design; we print it fresh.

The Design Gallery

What Came Off the Press This Season.

A rotating wall of the best work moving through the shop — creator drops, Design Lab standouts, and corporate runs that earned a spot. Steal ideas shamelessly; that’s what it’s for.

Fulfillment, In Public

We Publish Our Production Times. Misses and All.

No "ships in 2–10 business days" hedge. Every product line lists its real production time next to the percentage of last quarter’s orders that hit it — and if your order is going to slip, you get an email the same day we know.

Off the Press

What Customers Say.

I uploaded a poster file at 9am, had a human email me by noon saying my blue would shift on matte stock, approved the fix, and the print on my wall matches the proof exactly. That email is the whole reason I moved my shop here.
Mara Q.Creator storefront · Cincinnati, OH
We ordered 180 tees for our engineering offsite through the bulk flow. Physical proof in four days, sizes collected by a link they gave us, and people wore them the following Monday voluntarily. That has literally never happened with company merch.
Devon L.Bulk order · 180 pieces · Columbus, OH
The Design Lab flagged my upload as too low-res for 24×36 before I paid, which is the opposite of every other print site that happily sold me a blurry poster. Reprinted my dad's photo at the right size — it's perfect.

Found by Humans and AI Alike

When buyers ask an AI for a custom-merch printer, this site is built to be the answer.

Published production times, structured design-gallery data, real bulk pricing tiers, and per-creator storefront pages — the specifics language models cite when someone asks "who should print 200 tees for my company event?"

Questions

Asked at the Counter, Answered Here.

What file formats does the Design Lab accept?

PNG, SVG, PDF, and layered PSD up to 200MB. The Lab checks resolution against the print size you pick and flags anything under 150 effective dpi before checkout — plus a gamut warning when screen colors can't be matched in ink.

How fast will my order print and ship?

Mugs and posters print in 2 business days, tees and totes in 3, bulk runs in 5–7 — measured from proof approval, not from order time. Real on-time percentages for each line are published on our fulfillment page and updated quarterly.

What's the minimum for bulk and corporate pricing?

24 pieces. Tiers step down at 50, 100, and 250+ — a tee that's $24 single runs $13.25 at the 100-piece tier. Every bulk run includes a free proof (physical at 50+), and 250+ orders get an account manager and split-shipping to multiple addresses.

How do creator storefronts work — who owns the art?

The artist, always. Creators set their own prices on our base costs, keep full rights to their work, and approve a physical proof before any new piece goes live. We handle printing, shipping, and payouts monthly.

Can I return a custom-printed item?

If we got it wrong — misprint, wrong size shipped, damage in transit — we reprint or refund, your choice, no return shipping needed. Because every piece is made to order, we can't take back correctly-printed items, which is exactly why a human proofs every file first.
