IV.About Made-to-Order (POD) vs. Traditional Apparel
Thank you for choosing our made-to-order / print-on-demand (POD) service. Before placing an order, please take note of the following industry standards and guidelines:
1. Difference Between Made-to-Order (POD) and Traditional Apparel
Traditional Apparel:
Produced in large-scale factory batches with standardized patterns, fabrics, colors, and sizes. The tolerance is very small (usually within ±0.5 inch). This production method is designed for large-scale retail markets.
Made-to-Order (POD):
Size: A reasonable tolerance of ±1 inch (2–3 cm) is industry standard.
Color: Slight variations may occur due to differences in fabric batches, printing inks, and screen displays.
Craft Details: For example, sewing thread color follows the common industry standard: white thread for light-colored fabrics and black thread for dark-colored fabrics. Exact thread color matching is not offered.
2. Tolerance Standards
We follow international industry standards, which allow for:
Size: A tolerance of ±1 inch (2–3 cm)
Color: Minor differences between screen display and physical product are considered normal
3. Refund / Remake Policy
We will provide a refund or remake if there is a clear printing error, a significant size deviation (beyond ±1 inch), or product damage/defects.
Dissatisfaction due to slight color differences, size deviations within ±1 inch, or sewing thread not matching the design color does not qualify for a refund or remake.
V.Design Limitations of All-Over Print (AOP) Products
Thank you for choosing our All-Over Print products. Due to the characteristics of this production method, there are certain limitations in design and manufacturing. The following situations are common across the industry and do not qualify as product defects:
1. Seams and Stitching Areas
Print Breaks: Fabrics are printed first and then cut and sewn. As a result, seams, underarms, and side stitching areas may show misaligned or discontinuous patterns.
Slight Misalignment: Manual sewing may cause a mismatch between print placement and stitching, especially noticeable with stripes, checks, or geometric designs.
Industry Standard: A deviation of ±0.5–1 inch at seam areas is considered normal.
Design Tip: Avoid placing key text, logos, or symmetrical elements along seams.
2. Neckline and Cuffs
Cutting Limitations: Necklines, cuffs, and hems are small curved areas. During fabric extension and sewing, distortion or incomplete printing may occur.
Pattern Distortion: Details or borders placed in these areas may appear bent, stretched, or cut off. Industry Standard: Such effects are considered part of the production characteristics and do not affect product usability.
Design Tip: Avoid placing critical graphics or text on collars, cuffs, or hems.
3. Pattern Placement
Variability of Large-Scale Prints: All-over prints are produced by printing on fabric sheets, then cutting and sewing them into garments. As a result, the final print placement may differ slightly from the digital mockup.
Not 100% Identical: Unlike traditional placement prints, AOP emphasizes the overall visual effect rather than absolute consistency across individual items. Place important graphics in large central areas (e.g., chest or back) and avoid edges or seam lines.
4. Color and Material Influence
Minor Color Differences: Fabric absorption characteristics may cause slight differences between the actual product color and the digital file/screen display.
Batch Variations: Different production runs may result in small differences in color saturation.
Industry Standard: Minor color variations are considered normal and are not defects.
5. Refund / Return Policy
Due to the above AOP production characteristics, the following do not qualify for refund or remake:
Minor misalignment or discontinuous prints at seams, underarms, or cuffs
Pattern shift of ±0.5–1 inch at cut-and-sew areas
Distorted or cut-off prints at neckline, cuffs, or hems
Slight color differences between batches
Variations in pattern placement compared to digital mockups
Eligible for refund/remake:
Major printing errors (e.g., missing print or large-scale misplacement)
Size deviation beyond industry tolerance (> ±3 cm / 1 inch)
Damaged products or serious manufacturing defects
