Customer-Supplied & Inkdnylon-Sourced Items

Inkdnylon does allow customer-supplied apparel, caps, bags, and promotional products for live embroidery events. However, the recommended method is sourcing merchandise through Inkdnylon for access to wholesale brands and products.

Sourcing through Inkdnylon allows products to be approved, production-tested, and prepared before the event while providing access to wholesale pricing and a wide selection of apparel, headwear, bags, and promotional products.

Inkdnylon will recommend wholesale brand options based on the event, budget, product needs, and branding requirements.

For Inkdnylon-sourced merchandise, 5–10 additional pieces of each item will be ordered at wholesale pricing to accommodate setup, testing, spoilage, guest changes, and unexpected production needs.

Customer-supplied merchandise must also include additional pieces for spoilage, setup, testing, and unexpected production needs. The event organizer is responsible for providing sufficient extras before production begins.

All unused products will be returned to the event manager after the event.
