Make Merch Toolkit
Five tools that take the guesswork out of merch production — pricing, sizing, vendors, file prep, and ordering, all in one place. Built from what I actually use on real runs.
The Everyone Needs Merch Guide teaches you how apparel production works. The Make Merch Toolkit is what you utilize when you're ready to take the next step.
Five tools, each solving a specific spot where people get stuck: pricing math that includes real DTF sheet costs, a size-run calculator, so you're not guessing at S/M/L/XL, a vendor list of who I actually use, a spec sheet that goes straight to your vendor, and file prep specs so your art doesn't bounce back.
What's inside:
- Pricing Calculator — enter your decoration method, blank tier, and costs, see your margin update live. Includes real DTF sheet-math, not a flat guess.
- Size-Run Calculator — stop guessing how many S/M/L/XL to order. Enter your total, get a breakdown based on real sell-through curves.
- Vendor List — the blanks, distributors, and DTF suppliers I actually use, organized by Good/Better/Best, with links.
- Order Form / Spec Sheet — a one-page form that goes straight to your vendor, so nothing gets lost in a back-and-forth email chain.
- File Prep Templates — exactly what your art file needs to look like for screen print, DTF, DTG, and embroidery, so it doesn't bounce back.
These tools stay readily available from order one to order fifty, built to take the guesswork out of the merch-making process.
