Finishing &
fulfillment.
Decoration is half the job. The other half walks straight onto a shelf: labeled, folded, bagged, ticketed and routed anywhere your program sells. Run in Phoenix, Arizona and shipped nationwide.

01The finishing line
Tag. Sticker.
Bag. Box. Ship.
Every run leaves the press and goes down the same line, in the same order, checked against the same written specification. The count matches the packing list.
| Step 01 | Tag | Relabel, neck tags, hang tags and tickets. |
|---|---|---|
| Step 02 | Sticker | Size stickers, barcodes and compliance labels. |
| Step 03 | Bag | Folded and polybagged, built into size runs and pre-packs. |
| Step 04 | Box | Packed to retail compliance, in the cartons your program calls for. |
| Step 05 | Ship | Warehoused, then shipped to stores, distribution centers or straight to your customers. |
02What we run
The garment.
Then the order.
Finishing is what happens to each garment. Fulfillment is what happens to the order. Both run here, so nothing changes hands between the press and the truck.
