Minimum order quantities start at 100-500 units, tiered bulk pricing is offered for larger orders, and free worldwide shipping is promoted alongside up to 15% first-order discounts. An in-house design service supports artwork setup and dieline adjustments, and a live chat channel supports mid-funnel customer assistance. All four disclosed customer references are SMBs or micro businesses, and no enterprise contracts, recurring revenue, or institutional backing are documented.
