How it sells itself

Text on shirts, mugs, slate, wood, leather or acrylic — printed or laser engraved. Set up in about two minutes: pick the blank, switch it on, add the block. Nothing to learn first. Shoppers type a short text and see it where it will be printed or engraved. Preview and file come from the same code, so what the customer approves is what you make.

Sell custom patch hats, or patches on their own, without the back and forth. Shoppers pick a hat, shape, material and size, then upload a logo, type text or choose one of your designs, and see it on the hat before they buy. Engraved artwork is traced to vector automatically. Every order arrives in your Orders tab and production board with a file ready for your laser or printer.

Key points
  • Live preview in the exact print position, not an approximation
  • Production files as PNG, SVG or PDF — every letter already an outline
  • Set up the blank once; any number of products can share it
  • Never blocks add to cart: if anything fails, the sale still goes through
  • Patch builder on your product pages: upload, text, or pick your designs
  • Sell patch hats or patches on their own, laser engraved or UV printed
  • Production-ready SVG for every order, with cut line and edge finish
  • Turn your designs into SEO product listings, photos made for you
