What Your Design does

YourDesign.co.uk Ltd. (trading as Your Design) is a UK-based, founder-owned print-on-demand platform operating from a single production facility in Burscough, West Lancashire (Ormskirk). Founded in 2004, the company produces personalised clothing (t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, baby grows, ladies tees, organic tees, pyjamas), personalised mugs (standard, two-colour, heat-change, bulk boxes), home and accessories (bags, cushions, aprons), and gift items (engraved, embroidered, photo, tattoos) using Kornit waterless DTG printing for garments and Shulze Turbo sublimation printers for mugs, with embroidery and DTF as secondary decoration methods. No minimum order quantities apply and standard dispatch is 48 hours with next-day delivery available.

The company runs two complementary revenue models. The first is direct-to-consumer e-commerce through yourdesign.co.uk, where individuals and gift-buyers design products via an in-house online designer (with a vector graphics API) and purchase at per-unit prices (e.g., T-shirts from £8, hoodies £20, mugs £4.40, bulk mugs £3.50 each). The second is a B2B print-on-demand dropshipping service integrated with Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, and EKM, where merchants' orders are auto-routed to YourDesign for printing, custom branding, packaging, and direct shipment under the merchant's label; this arm also offers a custom API. Marketing channels are primarily organic (website, blog, email newsletter, social, affiliate program). Headcount is 1-10, no external investment has been raised, ownership remains with the original founders, and the company explicitly does not offer overseas delivery, confining its served market to the United Kingdom.

YourDesign competes in a crowded UK print-on-demand niche, with differentiation resting on in-house Kornit waterless printing and non-toxic NeoPigment inks (sustainability positioning), no minimum order quantities, fast 48-hour dispatch, and broad marketplace integrations that lower the barrier for entrepreneurs to launch a personalised-merchandise storefront. Limitations include small scale (1-10 employees, single site, UK-only), no disclosed revenue or external capital, and absence of any disclosed AI or advanced automation capabilities beyond the vector graphics designer.
