Corporate Merch Production in Armenia
From design approval to doorstep delivery — a transparent look at how your merch order moves through production, quality control, and packaging. Standard timeline: 7–15 business days in Yerevan.
How the Production Process Works
Most clients expect merch production to be complicated — but with the right partner, it's straightforward. We handle the complexity so you don't have to. Here's what actually happens after you approve the quote.
The process typically runs 7–15 business days from design approval to ready-for-shipment, depending on quantity, printing method, and current workload. Larger orders (500+ units) or complex combinations may take longer.
Production Stages
What happens between order and delivery
1. Design Review
We check your artwork for printability: resolution, color mode, any elements that won't reproduce well. You'll get feedback and suggestions within hours of submitting.
2. Color Proofing
For screen printing and other methods requiring color accuracy, we produce a physical color proof. You approve the proof before full production runs. This step adds 1–2 days but prevents costly mistakes.
3. Blank Sourcing
We source the right blanks for your order — whether from stock or custom-ordered. Stock items (basic t-shirts, pens) ship faster. Custom blanks (specific colors, sizes) add lead time.
4. Production
Your order enters the production queue. Screen printing, DTF, embroidery, or other methods are applied. Most methods run 3–7 days depending on complexity and quantity.
5. Quality Control
Every piece is inspected before packaging. We check for print alignment, color accuracy, and defects. Problematic items are reworked or replaced at no extra cost.
6. Packaging
Basic packaging (individual polybags) is included. Premium packaging — branded boxes, tissue paper, custom sleeves — adds 1–2 days and 20–40% to cost.
7. Delivery
Yerevan delivery is free for orders over 50,000 AMD. Regional delivery (Gyumri, Vanadzor, etc.) is free for orders over 100,000 AMD. Regional delivery takes 1–3 business days.

FAQ: Production Process
When does production actually start?
Production starts only after you approve the quote and (if required) the color proof. We don't begin work without your explicit sign-off on both design and pricing.
Can I get a sample before full production?
Yes, we can produce 1–3 sample pieces before the full run. Sample cost depends on the product and printing method. This is especially recommended for new designs or unfamiliar products.
What if something is wrong with the order?
We guarantee quality. If you find defects when receiving your order, we'll remake the affected items free of charge. The guarantee is valid for 14 days after delivery.
How do you handle reorders?
Reorders are faster because we keep your artwork on file and know the exact specs. Just confirm the quantity and we'll produce without the design review stage.
Do you offer blind shipping?
Yes, we can ship without our branding on the packaging. This is useful if you're dropshipping directly to event venues or client offices.
