The Tee / Mug / Poster Flow.

Every option reprices instantly — no "request a quote to see pricing" games for single pieces. This panel is a live demo of the real Lab.

Before It Prints

Four Checks Between Your File and a Wasted Blank.

Most print-on-demand regret is a file problem nobody caught. The Lab catches the measurable ones automatically, and a human catches the rest.

Resolution Check

The Lab computes effective dpi at your chosen print size and flags anything under 150 — before checkout, not after the box arrives blurry.

Gamut Warning

Neon screen colors can't exist in pigment. When your RGB file leaves the printable gamut, the Lab shows you where instead of quietly shifting it.

Hairline Detection

Strokes too thin to survive fabric get flagged with a one-click thicken fix. Posters are more forgiving; the Lab knows the difference.

Human Proof, Always

Every file still crosses a press operator's screen the same day. Software catches the measurable problems; people catch the embarrassing ones.

The Blanks

A Great Print on a Bad Blank Is Still a Bad Shirt.

We stock ring-spun cotton tees, ceramic that survives the dishwasher, and 240gsm archival poster stock — the same blanks our creator storefronts sell on. If a material wouldn’t hold up in our own merch drawer, it isn’t in the Lab.

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.
