FAQ
Yes. We produce for student clubs, project teams, and class groups. Send your org details, quantities, and event date in the quote form and we reply with written pricing.
Rush production is available for deadline-driven orders. Tell us the date in your quote request and we will confirm whether the timeline is realistic before you commit.
Yes. Employee kits and gifting programs are a core use case: matched hoodies, tees, and caps packed per recipient, with embroidery or printing on premium blanks.
We print the artwork you supply, and you confirm your group has the right to use it. Official Stanford marks are trademarked and need approval through the university's trademark licensing program. Most student org merch runs on the org's own design, which is straightforward.
Local drop-off is available for Bay Area orders and arranged case by case. Otherwise we ship to an office, campus, or home address. Tell us which you would prefer in the quote request and we confirm it before production starts.
