Three people against raw concrete in unbranded blanks: a charcoal and bone letterman jacket, an oversized bone tee with camo cargo shorts, and a washed charcoal zip hoodie with a black cap

Two ways in.

  • A design worktable: a black hoodie, a mint fabric swatch, scissors and flat garment sketches on concrete

    Make product for a moment

    A release, a tour, a launch, a sponsorship or a season. Tell us what the moment is and when it happens, and a named owner picks the brief up within one business day — or says the timeline does not work rather than taking it and hoping.

Print placements

See where it goes before you design it.

Twenty-two places to put a design on a T-shirt, and two jumbo areas past the usual limits. Pick one to see where it sits.

Choose a print placement

01 · Front · Front view

Full front

The main event. A graphic that carries the whole garment, sized to the body rather than the chest.

02 · Front · Front view

Center chest

A wordmark or badge that reads straight on, big enough to see across a room.

03 · Front · Front view

Left chest

The classic small mark over the heart. The first thing a buyer checks, and the natural home for embroidery.

04 · Front · Front view

Right chest

A small mark on the less expected side, or a partner mark opposite a left-chest logo.

05 · Front · Front view

Lower front · center

A quiet detail above the hem that rewards a second look.

06 · Front · Front view

Lower front · left

A hem-corner hit, where a tag line, date or edition number sits well.

07 · Front · Front view

Lower front · right

The mirror of the left hem corner, for a secondary mark or a paired detail.

08 · Front · Front view

Left shoulder

Angled along the shoulder seam. Reads from the side and in photographs taken at three quarters.

09 · Front · Front view

Right shoulder

The other shoulder, for a short word, a flag or a sponsor mark.

10 · Back · Back view

Full back

The biggest standard canvas: tour lists, artwork, the statement piece people see walking away.

11 · Back · Back view

Upper back

Just below the collar. A small mark that shows above a jacket or a backpack strap.

12 · Back · Back view

Center back

A mid-size back graphic, between the neck hit and a full back.

13 · Back · Back view

Lower back · center

A detail above the back hem, often a city, a year or a collection name.

14 · Back · Back view

Lower back · left

A back hem corner on the wearer’s left.

15 · Back · Back view

Lower back · right

A back hem corner on the wearer’s right.

16 · Sleeves · Front view

Left sleeve · upper

A sleeve hit near the shoulder, the usual place for a secondary logo.

17 · Sleeves · Front view

Left sleeve · lower

Down by the cuff, where a small icon catches the eye when the arm moves.

18 · Sleeves · Front view

Right sleeve · upper

The upper right sleeve, often paired with a left sleeve mark.

19 · Sleeves · Front view

Right sleeve · lower

The right cuff area, for a number, a flag or a date.

20 · Neck · Front view

Inside neck

A printed label inside the collar: size, care and your brand, instead of the blank maker’s tag.

21 · Sleeves · Front view

Left sleeve · vertical

A long mark running down the sleeve, made for a word that reads along the arm.

22 · Sleeves · Front view

Right sleeve · vertical

The same run on the right sleeve.

23 · Jumbo · Front view

Jumbo front

Oversized, past the standard full front toward the seams and hem. Needs a larger screen or a gang-sheet transfer, so it is confirmed per garment.

24 · Jumbo · Back view

Jumbo back

The whole back as one image. The loudest placement there is, confirmed per garment and per method.

Left and right are the wearer’s. Areas are concept geometry; the print limit is confirmed per garment and method when we quote.

22 placements and 2 jumbo areas. Combine as many as the design needs.

See the Boxy everyday tee

Every placement is priced with the garment when we quote.

Committed quantity

Bigger runs. Better unit pricing.

Every product above costs different money at ten pieces and at a thousand, and it does not fall smoothly — it falls in steps, at these quantities. Each step also changes how the order is placed.

A fulfilment operation at scale: a conveyor of identical mailers between pick shelving
  1. 1–99 units

    Standard price

    Straight to checkout where the product is listed with a price. A custom configuration is quoted.

  2. 100–499 units

    5% savings target

    Volume pricing and checkout, for a configuration the approved cost matrix already covers. Anything it does not cover is quoted rather than guessed.

  3. 500–999 units

    10% savings target

    Request a bulk quote. Cost, scope, availability and production terms are reviewed before a price is issued.

  4. 1,000 units and up

    15% savings target

    Custom production quote for your exact quantity and production requirements.

A savings target is measured against your own standard price for the same specification, and it is conditional on the cost actually falling at that quantity. Where the verified saving is smaller than the target, you are quoted the smaller one — the target is never applied again as a discount on top.

Everything here is quoted on the retail path. Approved creator-resellers and brand-resellers are quoted on a trade path instead — the same garments and the same verified costs, calculated at a different margin. They are alternatives rather than a price and a discount, and there is nothing to type at checkout: a trade price belongs to an approved account, and an account that is pending or unapproved is quoted this one. What trade pricing changes, and what it does not

Made for your people

Build the drop. Keep the connection.

A merch link sells once. We run the product business behind it, and you take as much or as little of it as you want.

  • Creator storeA real storefront with a product calendar behind it, not a merch page.
  • Capsule dropsPremium collections tied to a moment, priced to be worth making.
  • Fan-voted productYour audience picks the colourway, the graphic or the next item.
  • Signed and numberedLimited pieces with dKR authentication, so the scarcity is provable.

The operating loop

Most suppliers own one lane. We own the loop.

A print shop stops at the box. A marketplace stops at the listing. The work that makes a drop worth repeating is what happens either side of the garment.

  1. A rooftop event at sunset, guests in charcoal and mint hoodies talking beside a table of folded product
    01

    Moment

    The release, the collaboration, the tour date or the launch the product exists for. Everything downstream is scoped from it.

  2. A design review: a garment flat pinned to a dark wall beside colour separations and a swatch card
    02

    Product

    Blank, fit, fabric and decoration chosen against that moment, specified in a tech pack rather than a mood board.

  3. A print production floor, a wide-format printer mid-run with substrate racked behind it
    03

    Drop

    Sampling, approval, production and delivery run to the date, with one named owner and a stage you can see.

  4. A merchandise stand inside a dark venue before doors, rails of folded garments under a strip light
    04

    Fan data

    Who bought, who waited and who came back — captured at the drop rather than reconstructed from a platform afterwards.

  5. Concept detail: a woven black neck label reading dropKULTXR with a dKR mark, inside a charcoal fleece collar
    05

    Loyalty

    dKR binds each item to its approved record, so verified ownership can carry rewards, early access and proof of the real thing.

  6. A row of unbranded six-panel caps on a dark bench, one turned to show the crown seam
    06

    Next drop

    The last drop's data sets the next one's range, quantities and timing, instead of starting from nothing again.

A hybrid studio

What we run ourselves, and what we scale through partners.

Said plainly, because the difference decides what a programme costs and how fast it moves.

  • Ours, end to end

    Strategy, creative, tech packs, drop management, fan data, quality control and dKR authentication. The parts that decide whether a drop works are not subcontracted.

  • In-house production, in California

    Embroidery, DTG, DTF, UV DTF and UV wide-format printing on our own machines in Los Angeles and Huntington Beach, alongside private label, labels and hangtags — so the first physical version of a product does not wait on somebody else's queue.

    Bulk print, cut-and-sew at volume and dye are routed per programme. See quality and sourcing.

  • Scaled with partners

    Bulk print, cut-and-sew, dye and sublimation run through our production partners, under our specification and our quality control.

Feel it before you commit.

dKR authentication

The mark that makes a drop verifiable.

dKR is our product authentication system. It appears on neck labels, sleeve hits, hangtags and packaging seals, and it binds a physical item to an approved product record — so a limited edition can actually be shown to be one.

Bound to real goods
An identifier is only activated once QA has reconciled it against approved product. No evidence, no verification.
Anonymous by default
Checking an item never requires an account. Claiming one is optional, and asks permission first.
Provenance attached
Materials, care, edition, story and rights attribution travel with the product rather than living on a receipt.
Useful after purchase
Verified ownership is the hook for rewards, early access and the next release.
