Studio FAQs

What is merch-making?

When you visit our studio, you will create your own custom design to sublimate onto a blank product (most commonly drinkware). Walk-in, pick your blank product, find an open computer, and get to work designing! We will press your design to your blank product and you'll leave with a new custom piece of merch!

How does it work?

The Merch-Making Experience is structured in steps: Design, Print, Press, & Selfies! Fun is guaranteed.

STEP 1: DESIGN

You will begin by creating your own custom design to put onto your blank cup, tote bag, ornament, journal, candle jar, or more. You will have access to our collection of graphics, fonts, and color palettes to let your creativity shine! Make your design personal, make it funny, make it sappy, or make it crappy! Your imagination is the limit. No artistic skills are needed. We will be there to guide you or assist in bringing your vision to fruition should you want our help in the designing process. If you're not feeling very creative, you can start with a template from our catalog of products and personalize it to make it unique to you!

STEP 2: PRINT

Once you finalize your design, we will print it on special sublimation paper with special sublimation ink. We cut the design just right, tape it to your product, and get it ready to be heat pressed.

STEP 3: PRESS

Watch the magic happen as we press your product with our commercial grade sublimation equipment. When it comes out of the heat press, your design will be permanently infused into your new merch!

STEP 4: SELFIES

Once your new product cools from the heat, indulge in some selfies at our photo wall to show off your new merch. It's your opportunity to tell the world, "I Got Merchie!"

What do I bring?

Bring yourself! And bring your design ideas! It helps to come with an idea or a theme for the design you would like to create. You will use our collection of graphics, fonts, and color palettes to bring your ideas to life. And we will be there to help you achieve your vision.

If you want to bring your own image, logo, or photo, you can do that too. But have it ready to go and make sure it's not blurry. High quality 300dpi for printing is best for good results.

What is sublimation?

Sublimation printing is a special process where sublimation ink is permanently infused into our blank products (most commonly drinkware) via a commercial grade sublimation heat press. The product is printed with your custom design and remains beautiful, vibrant, and smooth. No vinyl, decal, or sticker peeling!

During your Merch-Making Experience, you will get to see the sublimation process in action as you design and make your new merch!
