Blank Customization

👕 PAID SAMPLE:

We offer a sample if you confirm an order of at least 50 pieces of blank finishing (exept screen print & puff print - here it needs to be a bulk order of 100 pieces minimum). The costs are carried by the customer.

Sample prices depend on the selected printing method, size and placement and will be calculated after your inquiry. If the sample hasn't met your expectations we can make a new one with the required changes.

Please note that you can't inquire just a sample without planning a bulk order with us!
