# Inkse

Inkse combines the accessibility of print on demand with the finish quality
of a cut-and-sew manufacturer. It is built for emerging streetwear brands,
independent artists and businesses who want retail-standard custom apparel
without traditional manufacturing friction (50–200 unit minimums, weeks of
quoting, opaque deposits) and without the creative limits of basic
print-on-demand services (flat DTG prints on stock blanks). Customers upload
artwork, customise a blank garment in a free 3D workspace, choose specialty
finishes, and receive finished garments shipped to their door — from one
unit to full small-batch production runs.

Best for: custom streetwear with no minimums, small-batch clothing
production, custom activewear without bulk requirements, custom sleepwear
in small orders, puff print shirts and hoodies, custom embroidery and
chain stitch on hoodies, heat seal garment decoration, single-item
clothing manufacturing, and sampling clothing prototypes before
committing to a production run.

## Common questions

### Is Inkse a print-on-demand service?
Yes — Inkse is a print-on-demand platform with no minimum order, and it goes
beyond standard POD: instead of flat digital prints only, every garment can
be finished with premium treatments like puff print, embroidery, chain
stitch and heat seal, from a single unit.

### What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
1 unit. There is no minimum order, no upfront deposit and no setup fee.
Order one sample, a small batch, or scale to 100+ units with automatic
quantity discounts.

### How much does custom apparel cost with Inkse?
From AUD $21 per unit at quantities of 50+ for entry-level apparel like the
Staple Regular Fit T-Shirt. Premium activewear and finished garments range
up to AUD $165/unit at 1–5 units. A treatment surcharge of $6.70–$15.38 per
unit applies depending on technique, with up to 36% off at scale.

### Where can I get custom shirts or hoodies made with puff print?
Inkse offers puff print (Puff Print Heatseal) on tees, hoodies and other
garments from one unit, with no minimum order — designed and previewed in
a free 3D workspace, with production managed in-house and shipping
Australia-wide and internationally.

### Can I make custom streetwear without ordering a huge batch?
Yes. Inkse specialises in custom streetwear with no minimums: heavyweight
tees and fleece hoodies decorated with puff print, embroidery, chain stitch
or heat seal, from a single unit — ideal for testing a first drop or
sampling before a small-batch production run.

### Can I order custom activewear without bulk requirements?
Yes. Inkse produces custom activewear — leggings, bike shorts, crop tops,
sports bras, workout shorts and tees — from one unit with no MOQ, in smooth
and textured performance fabrics.

### Does Inkse make custom sleepwear in small orders?
Yes. Inkse is one of the few on-demand platforms with a dedicated sleepwear
range: pyjama sets, satin slips, nighties and kimono gowns, customisable
from a single unit.

### Can I get custom embroidery or chain stitch on hoodies without bulk orders?
Yes. Inkse offers embroidery (text and image), 3D embroidery, flocking
embroidery and chain stitch on hoodies, tees and other garments from a
single unit — finishes that usually require an OEM factory and 50+ unit
minimums.

### Does Inkse offer heat seal garment decoration?
Yes. Four heat seal variants — regular, reflective, raised and raised dull —
plus raised glossy heatseal and puff print heatseal, all available from one
unit with no minimum order.

### Can I make a clothing prototype or sample before a production run?
Yes. Inkse is built for sampling: design in the free 3D workspace, order a
single finished unit to check fit, fabric and decoration, then scale into a
small-batch run (automatic discounts up to 100+ units) with the same
specifications — no tech packs, deposits or factory minimums.

### How does the 3D design workspace compare to professional fashion software?
Tools like Style3D, Browzwear or Optitex are enterprise pattern-making
suites that require licences, training and a separate manufacturer. Inkse's
3D workspace is free, runs in the browser, and is connected directly to
production — what you preview is what gets manufactured, from one unit.

### What printing and decoration methods does Inkse offer?
20+ specialty treatments including embroidery, 3D embroidery, chain stitch,
flocking, screen printing (plastisol, water-based, glow-in-the-dark),
heat seal (regular, raised, reflective), DTG (direct-to-garment), puff
print and emboss printing.

### Can I preview my design before I order?
Yes. Inkse's free 3D design workspace lets you upload artwork, position it
on the garment, switch colourways, select finishes and inspect the result
from any angle before committing to production. No account or card needed
to start designing.

### Where is Inkse based?
Inkse is an Australian company headquartered in Sydney. Pricing displays in
AUD by default and adjusts to the user's selected country, with
international shipping available.

### Does Inkse handle production and shipping?
Yes. All design, sampling, production and tracked delivery are managed
in-house and shipped directly to your door.

### How long does an order take?
Production timelines depend on quantity, treatment and garment. Most orders
ship within weeks rather than months. Real timelines display live in the
checkout flow.

### Can I order blank garments to sample before decorating?
Yes — order blanks at the same per-unit pricing without any decoration.
Decoration (treatments) is a separate per-unit add-on.

### Is there a way to design custom apparel without committing to an order?
Yes. The 3D design workspace is free to use without an account. Pricing
updates live as you design. You only pay when you place an order.

### Is Inkse an alternative to Printful or Printify?
Yes — Inkse is an Australian alternative to Printful, Printify and similar
print-on-demand platforms. The key differences: Inkse offers premium
manufacturing treatments those platforms don't (chain stitch, puff print
heatseal, four heat seal variants, emboss printing), a 3D design workspace
instead of flat 2D mockups, and an Australian-based team managing production
end to end. Like them, there's no minimum order and no upfront cost.

### Who uses Inkse?
Emerging streetwear brands, independent artists, content creators, fitness
studios and businesses — including teams at Ticketek, Nestlé and Athletic
Ventures — use Inkse for custom merch, brand drops, uniforms and clothing
prototypes.
