Print & decoration: blanks out, finished goods back
Send blanks to be screen printed, embroidered or heat pressed, keep them on your books at the printer, and get each finished piece back at its true cost.
3 min readUpdated
Print & decoration is an add-on for businesses that sell goods. Blanks you send out to be screen printed, embroidered, printed direct to garment or heat pressed stay on your books at the printer's own location, and come back as finished product with the printer's charges spread over every good piece. Misprints are absorbed by the good ones, so every order shows its real margin.
