Design service for corporate merch
Most delayed merchandise orders are delayed by artwork, not by production. A logo arrives as a low-resolution image, or at the wrong scale for the product, or three weeks after the date that was supposed to be the approval deadline. The design service exists to move that problem to the front of the process, where it costs a conversation rather than a production slot.
What the service does
Artwork preparation. A vector file is checked for resolution, colour space, stroke weight and any effect that will not survive embroidery or a screen. Thin strokes disappear under stitching; a gradient becomes banding on a woven label. The file is returned with the corrections needed rather than as a rejection.
Placement and scaling. The same artwork is not the same size on a cap, a polo and an A4 notebook. Placement is set against the actual print or embroiderable area for each product, and a mockup is produced so the decision is made once, visibly, rather than after production.
Approval. A named person signs off the artwork before the sample is produced. That signature is what the workshop works from, and it is the point at which a change stops being free.
What we need from you
- Vector artwork. AI, EPS or PDF with the fonts outlined. A PNG works but constrains what can be done.
- Brand rules. Clear space, minimum size and the colours that must not be reproduced in print.
- Products and sizes. Because placement is set per product, not once for the whole programme.
- The approver. One person who can sign off, with a date.
- Decoration method. Decided before the file is finalised, not after the quote.
- The deadline. Including the event date, which is earlier than the date you need it.

What we are not
Corp-Merch.MX is an independent production workshop for corporate merch, uniforms and business gifting, invoicing to SAT under CFDI 4.0. The design service prepares artwork for production; it is not a brand consultancy and does not create brand identities, campaign concepts or visual strategy. We are not an official partner, sponsor or approved supplier of any design agency or brand platform named on this page.
