CUSTOM BLANKS
CUSTOM BLANKS - MADE TO ORDER
If you require a greater degree of customisation, custom blanks may be the ideal solution for you. Through our in-house production process, we are able to offer an extensive range of options, including the ability to tailor our blank designs to your specific colour, GSM, and printing preferences.
At Mindful Merch, we're all about transparency and ethical practices in our supply chain which means you can order knowing that you now have a solid supply chain too. When it comes to customisation, we've got you covered. We purchase bulk yarn, which means you can skip the hassle of sampling different styles. Instead, you can dive right into creating made-to-order custom blanks. You get to choose the weight of the garment (gsm) and pick a colour that truly represents your brand's uniqueness.
As a sustainable blanks apparel brand, we've made a conscious choice to stock common or basic colours. This helps us avoid overproduction and excess inventory, aligning with our commitment to sustainability. But we get it - there's a world of stunning colours out there that brands want to embrace. That's why we offer made-to-order options, so you can have the freedom to select from a wide range of colours and make your garments truly stand out.
And hey, customisation doesn't stop there. We're a one-stop shop for your branding needs. Along with our in-house print and embroidery services, we give you the option to print and add your own logo and size tags. It's all about making your life easier and more convenient. From designing the garments to adding those special touches that represent your brand, we're here to streamline the process. Rest assured, our team's expertise and meticulous attention to detail will ensure your finished products perfectly align with your brand's vision.
