Film and TV production merch in Mexico
Crew apparel, festival kits, premiere merchandise, production-office merchandise, and cross-border film-festival kits for the Mexican film and TV production sector — Estudios Churubusco (CDMX), Estudios Televisa (San Ángel), Baja Studios (Rosarito), the Netflix Mexico production cluster, the HBO Max Mexico production cluster, the Amazon Studios Mexico cluster, the Cannes Films Mexico presence, the Morelia International Film Festival, the Guadalajara International Film Festival, the IMCINE-aligned production operators, the Mexican presence at the Sundance Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, and the Toronto International Film Festival.
An industry that ships merch to the set, to the festival, and to the premiere
Mexican film and TV production buys merch in three contexts that almost never overlap. The set context: the production's cast, crew, and production-office team wear branded apparel throughout the production window — the merchandise is part of the production's brand surface and the merchandise that the cast and crew take home after wrap. The festival context: the production's PR team and the film's director attend the Morelia International Film Festival, the Guadalajara International Film Festival (FICG), the Sundance Film Festival, the Cannes Film Festival, the Toronto International Film Festival, and the international film-festival circuit. The premiere context: the production's Mexican premiere and the international premiere run a coordinated merchandise program — premiere kits, press kits, the small-format tokens that go in the press's welcome pack.
The cross-border dimension is structural. The Mexican production coordinates with the US or international distributor through the IMCINE-aligned production incentive (the federal and state film-production incentives), and the merchandise program runs against two budgets and one inventory. The paperwork — CFDI 4.0, IMCINE-aligned documentation, the film-production incentive documentation, the international customs-clearance for the festival shipments, and the international distributor's USD billing — has to clear both sides.

FAQ — film and TV production merch
Production crew apparel — quick turnaround?
Yes — production crew apparel runs against the production's start-of-principal-photography date with a 2–3 week express production cadence. Premium tier adds an additional 4–6 weeks for the cast-tier premium apparel.
Premiere kit — premium tier?
Standard tier uses Mexican full-grain leather sourced in León, Guanajuato; premium tier uses Italian vegetable-tanned leather from the Toscana partner (8–12 week lead time). Both tiers can be paired with a Lamy 2000 or a Caran d'Ache pen.
Cannes Film Festival annual cycle?
Annual cycle kits built from a Q4 forecast and a Q1 final-number lock. We ship to the Palais des Festivals four weeks before the festival opens to clear the temporary-import paperwork.
USD billing for the international distributor?
Yes — the international premiere and festival kits are invoiced in USD against the international distributor's procurement expense line. The kit ships from the Mexican hub and clears the receiving country's customs through the broker.
IMCINE-aligned documentation?
Yes — for the IMCINE-aligned production operators, we coordinate the production-incentive documentation for the merchandise that supports the IMCINE-aligned production. The documentation supports the production's incentive claim.
INDAUTOR registration for limited-run editions?
Yes — we coordinate with the production's legal counsel on the INDAUTOR registration for the limited-run and archive-edition merchandise, including the title-aligned merchandise, the wrap-gift merchandise, and the limited-edition print.
