Question 1

Is Fresh Prints officially licensed with University of California San Diego?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Fresh Prints holds direct licensing agreements with hundreds of universities, including University of California San Diego. Whenever you design something with a school mark or mascot, we automatically submit it to the right licensing body and legally get approval before printing. That means no trouble with your university. Your organization is protected, the back-end compliance is handled for you, and you can print things with us that unlicensed companies legally can't.

Question 2

How can I start designing UCSD merch?

Accepted Answer

With Fresh Prints, you don't need any design experience to create merch your chapter will love. You have four ways to get started: * Start with a product or a design. We have 2,000+ products [https://www.freshprints.com/products] and 10,000+ designs [https://www.freshprints.com/designs] in our galleries all fully customizable for UCSD. Browse to see what catches your eye, then make it your own. * Start designing in the Design Tool [https://design-tool.freshprints.com/]. The Design Tool has thousands of templates you can edit directly in the browser. Saw something on Pinterest or TikTok? Upload a screenshot and the tool will vectorize it and make it fully editable. You'll also see live pricing updates as you go, so there are no surprises at checkout. * Hand it off to our Art Team. From our homepage [https://www.freshprints.com/], click the "Upload inspo" button to send any inspo, like a screenshot, a mood board, or even a vague theme description and our 150+ on-staff artists will mock it up for free. You'll get an art proof back in 12 to 24 hours, with revisions turned around just as fast. You don't pay anything until you place an order. * Want something completely unique? Go fully custom through our Made-to-Order Program [https://www.lookbook.freshprints.com/landing/made-to-order-program] - if you can imagine it, we can create it.

Question 3

How do I place an order and how long does it take to get?

Accepted Answer

Once you're happy with your design, you can check out right away. Add the sizes you need to your cart, and then pay via credit card or Venmo! If your account is connected to your organization's account, you can also pay via "invoice." If you select that, we'll generate an invoice you can send to whoever is paying, and your organization will have 30 days to pay. If you'd rather not collect sizes and payment, you can set up a "Store" instead. We'll generate a link you can send around. Your members/customers can then buy your merch in whatever sizes and quantities they want, paying on checkout. The prices in your Store can scale with quantity so the more members participate, the lower the final price (and everyone gets charged the final price). And if you just want to collect sizes but your organization is paying, you can give them all an "Organizer pays" code so that staying organized is easy even without payment. When your Store closes, your size run and order list are pulled together automatically and sent to production. Most orders arrive in 11-14 days, and you can choose to ship everything to one location or have items sent directly to each member. Need it faster? We also offer expedited and rush options to hit tight deadlines.

Question 4

How much does UCSD merch usually cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is quantity-based per design, so the more people who join the order, the cheaper it gets for everyone and you can see those breakpoints live in the Design Tool [https://design-tool.freshprints.com/] before committing to anything. Typical price ranges: * T-shirts and basic tees run $8 to $20 * Embroidered tank tops are around $45 * Sweatpants are around $45 * Premium Fresh Prints heavyweight hoodies run $60 to $70 * A full premium hoodie and sweat set is around $100 The easiest way to keep costs down is mixing premium and budget options in the same drop. Members who want the Fresh Prints Heavyweight line can buy it. Budget-conscious members can grab the same design on a Gildan or Hanes blank. As long as it has the same design in the same order, it counts toward one shared minimum. Already got a quote from somewhere else? Send it over and we'll do our best to match it so your chapter gets the best value.

Question 5

Is there a minimum quantity we need to order?

Accepted Answer

Not always! Many of our products have no order minimum, so you can order just one or as many as you need. Just use the "No minimum [https://www.freshprints.com/products?sort=price&noMinimum=true]" filter in our Product Gallery to find them. You can also shop no-minimum styles through Studio Fresh Prints [https://studio.freshprints.com/], where you'll find pre-designed, officially licensed University of California San Diego merch ready to go. For standard in-stock products with screen print or digital print, the minimum is 12 pieces per design with a 14-day turnaround. As long as the design stays the same size, you can mix garment types like hoodies, crewnecks, t-shirts, long sleeves, and shorts, and they all count toward that same minimum of 12.
