Why your last merch order looked wrong

Mismatched merch costs you more than reprints. It costs you trust.

Your printer rejects the file. Your boss sees the wrong colors. Your brand looks like a cheap knockoff.

  • The printer rejects your files and bills you a setup fee to fix them
  • Colors shift between items. Your shirt, bag, and pen look like three different brands
  • Off-brand merch tells customers your business doesn't take its own brand seriously

From zero to production-ready in one engagement

Nutraflav

Supplements · DTC + Amazon · Shopify + Brand + Packaging Design

Nutraflav had zero brand assets and a product ready to ship. They needed a DTC store, Amazon presence, and production packaging, all at once. Nothing existed.

The starting point

Nutraflav had no trademark protection, no Brand Registry access, no DTC store, no Amazon presence, no fulfillment strategy, and no brand or packaging design. The product was ready; the brand infrastructure was not.

  • No trademark or Brand Registry. Anyone could copy the brand name on Amazon.

  • No packaging design. The product had no packaging. It could not ship to a customer.

  • No brand system. DTC store, Amazon page, and physical product had no visual connection.

What the engagement delivered

0

Complete brand + merch + packaging system launched from zero

  • Trademark filed. Brand Registry access unlocked. Brand now protected on Amazon.

  • Full brand and packaging design. DTC store, Amazon listing, and physical package all match.

  • Amazon FBA and MCF fulfillment live. Branded packaging in production and shipping.

  • Shopify DTC store live. Brand design consistent from product page to checkout.

What separates a design studio from a production partner

Three things your current merch vendor doesn't do. We do all three.

01

Every file ships ready for your printer. Not just ready for your approval email.

Most design files look great on screen. Then your printer opens them and finds RGB colors, unoutlined fonts, and resolution too low to print. You pay a correction fee. You wait for a revision. You reprint. Redefine delivers AI vector, outlined type, CMYK color profiles, and bleed marks. These are the default, not an add-on.

Always included

02

One design system from the t-shirt to the label to the Amazon listing. Not three vendors building three different versions of your brand.

Three vendors means three different versions of your brand. Your shirt looks like one brand. Your box looks like another. Your Amazon page looks like a third. Redefine designs the system once. It applies across every touchpoint. The customer who sees your Amazon page and then opens your package sees the same brand both times.

What happens without a system

  • Different logo versions across items

  • Inconsistent colors between products

  • Unboxing experience contradicts digital brand

What the Redefine system delivers

  • One master brand + merch system

  • Consistent PMS across all item types

  • Digital and physical brand are the same brand

03

You own every source file when the project ends. Never pay to reprint or update your own designs.

Every AI, EPS, PSD, and Figma file is yours when the project closes. You can hand them to any vendor you choose. No subscriptions. No re-export fees. No permission needed. When you reprint, update, or add a new product type next year, you open the file and go.

Questions buyers ask before they submit a brief

Answers to every question you have before you start

Every engagement includes Adobe Illustrator AI (primary vector), EPS, press-ready PDF with bleed and crop marks, high-resolution PNG on a transparent background, and Pantone PMS color callouts. For apparel embroidery, we also deliver DST format. For packaging, we add a dieline PDF and a pre-press PDF. All files arrive organized and labeled by item type, ready for your vendor to open and use.

Yes. If you have no existing brand, we start with brand identity before merch design begins. We build your logo, color palette, and typography first. Then we apply that system to every item on your merch list. One brief covers both. Submit yours and tell us where you're starting from.

Yes. We deliver files for Printify, Printful, Gooten, Amazon Merch on Demand, and other print-on-demand platforms. Dimension, DPI, color space, and transparent background requirements are all built in. You upload the file directly. No conversion needed.

A focused engagement covering 3 to 5 item types runs 2 to 3 weeks. A full system covering 10 or more item types with brand guidelines runs 4 to 6 weeks. If you need brand identity built first, add 2 to 3 weeks to both. The timeline is agreed in the proposal before work starts. It doesn't change without your written approval.

Pricing is fixed-scope, based on the number and type of items in your brief. We send a line-by-item proposal in 3 days. No hourly rates. No hidden fees. No charges beyond the agreed scope without your written sign-off. Submit your merch list to get your itemized price.
