Best forOne-off bulk ordersOngoing programs

Custom Ink charges per order with bulk discounts. Swag Dimension charges $0–$299/mo for the platform plus a flat 5% transaction fee — so margin scales with you, not against you.

Best fit for Swag Dimension

Nonprofits, schools, churches, and teams who need a permanent fundraising or apparel store rather than one-off bulk runs.

Frequently asked

Is Swag Dimension cheaper than Custom Ink?+

It depends on volume. Custom Ink is great for a single bulk run of 50+ identical shirts. Swag Dimension is dramatically cheaper if you need an ongoing store, per-member ordering, or you want to mark items up and earn margin — because we have no minimums and the platform fee is fixed.

Can I migrate my existing Custom Ink design to Swag Dimension?+

Yes. Upload your logo or artwork and our AI mockup generator will render it on hundreds of apparel and accessory blanks in 60 seconds. No designer back-and-forth required.

Do you offer group ordering like Custom Ink?+

Yes — Brand Stores work perfectly for group orders. Each team member visits your store, picks size and color, and pays themselves. You get a single bulk payout, no spreadsheet wrangling.
