Returns & Refund Policy

Print Merch

Last Updated: [January 1, 2026]

At Print Merch, every order is produced with precision and quality control. Because most of our products are custom-made, our return policy is structured to protect both our customers and our production process.

Please read carefully before placing your order.

1. Custom Printed & Decorated Items (FINAL SALE)

All custom-decorated products are final sale, including:

  • DTG printed garments
  • DTF transfers
  • Screen printed apparel
  • Embroidery
  • Private label / white-label products
  • Bulk custom orders

Because these items are produced specifically for your order, we do not accept returns or exchanges for:

  • Incorrect size selection
  • Change of mind
  • Customer resale issues
  • Event cancellations
  • Minor color variations
  • Slight print placement shifts

By approving your artwork and completing checkout, you confirm acceptance of final production.
