Fulfillment & 3PL

Get every product where it needs to go.

Customer-owned goods, sourced wholesale blanks, undecorated products, decoration, RFID, finishing, inventory, pick and pack, retail preparation, and shipping can all move through one Impress-owned facility and team.

Inventory ownership

Support the product model the brand already uses.

Storage and billing are designed around who owns the goods and when they are purchased.

Customer-owned custom products

Brands ship their own custom goods in bulk, retain ownership, and release inventory for decoration, finishing, store orders, or distribution.

Impress-sourced wholesale blanks

Impress Designs can source established wholesale blanks and invoice product, decoration, and fulfillment together.

Mixed-product programs

Decorated apparel, finished goods, promotional products, inserts, packaging, and merchandise that requires no decoration can share the same fulfillment plan.

Value-added operations

Prepare each unit for retail, ecommerce, or distribution.

Product finishing stays with the inventory and order data, reducing vendor handoffs before shipment.

Product identification & finishing

Automatic folding and bagging, supported by manual finishing for varied products and group packs, joins hangtags, neck labeling, relabeling, RFID, and size stickers before distribution.

Kitting & retail preparation

Kits, inserts, store packs, labeling, presentation requirements, and retail-ready preparation can stay connected to inventory and fulfillment.

Program-specific distribution

Pick and pack, packing by person, packing by department or location, bulk cartons, and individual shipment programs support hundreds through hundreds of thousands of destinations.

RFID capability

Inline RFID and retail-label application within the workflow.

Custom-built inline equipment can print and encode RFID labels and automatically apply RFID, UPC, or hologram labels to hangtags. RFID labels can also be printed and encoded for application to bags or directly to items, according to the customer's retailer and item-level requirements.

Keeping RFID with labeling, finishing, packing, and shipment provides a clear operating path for brands preparing goods for major-retailer programs.

Typical production-to-carrier timing

Known products and approved decoration move quickly.

Automated orders received by 6:00 a.m. Central Time count as that business day. When program inventory is available, typical time to carrier handoff is 1–3 business days. When approved wholesale blanks must be sourced, typical time to carrier handoff is 5–10 business days, depending on the item and its source location.

These are typical, non-guaranteed production windows. Carrier transit time begins after handoff and is not included.

When the timing applies

Configured programs, not new product development.

  • A valid automated order has entered the production system.
  • Required inventory is available within the approved program supply path.
  • Products, artwork, placements, and decoration instructions are already established.
  • Payment is complete when Impress Designs bills the webstore shopper.
  • The order does not require a new custom-art or proof-approval cycle.

Carrier & international options

Shop the shipment against its actual transit requirement.

Impress Designs compares available services from UPS, FedEx, USPS, DHL, GlobalPost, and other carrier options to select a cost-effective method that meets the shipment's destination and transit requirements. Customers can instead specify a service or provide an approved third-party shipping account.

Shipping to Canada and Mexico is available for an additional fee. International shipments are sent delivery duties unpaid. Duties, taxes, brokerage, and other import charges are billed to the recipient or to a customer-provided third-party account, not to Impress Designs. Ask about currently supported destinations and services during program planning.

Inventory reporting

Agree on the reporting cadence before launch.

Inventory reporting currently follows a scheduled process, commonly weekly, based on the program agreement. Expanded automation is being developed, so the public website does not represent current inventory as instantaneous.

Order, shipment, and tracking information is returned to connected stores through ShipStation or a custom API where the program supports it.

3PL discovery

Start with the inventory, order source, service level, and destination.
