Overview

Manicule builds tools for the AI-native era, and they wanted merch that reflected that without screaming at people from across the room. The front stays quiet with just the manicule icon on the chest. The back carries the story: photography, the brand mark, and layered type that reads almost like a manifesto. AI Native. /DevRel. agents.scale. humans.connect. The kind of print that gets people talking at a conference. We ran it on heavyweight hoodies and oversized tees so the graphic has space to land.

How we delivered

  1. Manicule shared the back graphic and icon. We mapped placement for both hoodies and tees.
  2. Front got embroidery. The back panel went through DTG to handle the photography. Every piece got a pass before shipping.
  3. Delivered ahead of their event calendar.
