Film production merch in Mexico
Branded merchandise, crew merch, wrap-party kits, festival-presence merch, and pre-production-recognition kits for the Mexican film-production ecosystem — Netflix Mexico (the CDMX, Monterrey, and Guadalajara production hubs), Amazon Studios Mexico, Warner Bros. Discovery Mexico, Disney Mexico, Paramount Mexico, Sony Pictures Mexico, Universal Mexico, Estudios Churubusco, Estudios Baja (the Baja California production hub), Estudios Gabriel Figueroa, the Mexican independent film cluster along the Coyoacán-Romero corridor in CDMX, the Mexican boutique production houses (Mantarraya, Enaguas, Woo Films, Sin Sitio, Mr. Woo, Cines Roma), the Mexican festival circuit (Morelia International Film Festival, Guadalajara International Film Festival, DocsMX, Ambulante, FICUNAM, the Riviera Maya Film Festival).
Mexican film merch runs against the production calendar
Mexican film productions operate against a calendar the European and US productions do not share. The pre-production cycle runs 8–16 weeks ahead of principal photography; the principal photography cycle runs 6–16 weeks on location; the post-production cycle runs 12–24 weeks; the wrap-party cycle happens 1–4 weeks after the shoot wraps; the festival-premiere cycle aligns with the international festival calendar (Venice, Toronto, San Sebastián, Morelia, Guadalajara); the international-distribution cycle aligns with the US, European, and LATAM distribution windows.
The crew-merch program runs continuously through the production. The Mexican production-crew typically includes 80–400 members depending on the production's scale, and the crew-merch has to clear the production's safety tier (NOM-009-STPS-2011 for the safety footwear where the production is on location), the production's union alignment (ANDA, STPC, the Mexican production unions), and the production's brand-manual fidelity.
Programs we run for film productions
Crew merch and on-set apparel
For the principal-photography cycle — branded apparel for the cast and crew, line-leader apparel, supervisor apparel, the safety-tier apparel for the on-location work.

The production's brand-manual is the brief
For film productions, the production's brand-manual is the brief. The art director sends us the moodboard, the Pantone palette, the typography, the materials reference, the logo art direction, and the voice tone. The merch proposal we hand the production respects every element of the art direction without flattening it.
For unique constructions (sublimated microfiber, debossed Tyvek, custom silicone wristbands with embedded NFC, hand-stitched leather objects) we sample in our CDMX workshop before committing to the production run. The Pantone-match approval sample travels with the production run, so the production's art director can verify the colour match before the production run ships.
