The Monthly Stitch - Nov 2025

This holiday season, we're helping creators launch faster, sell more, and stay profitable - without cutting corners on quality or creativity.

Tapstitch is more than just products. It's a platform designed to grow with you, with updates that help you stay flexible, deliver faster, and keep customers coming back.

This month's focus: getting you prepped for peak season with more creative control.

“Holiday season is a major opportunity for creators - and we've worked hard to make sure you're set up for success. From faster US fulfillment to smarter pricing and brand-new features, everything we've built this year is designed to help you grow your brand with more confidence and less stress.” - Joe Zhou, CEO of Tapstitch

New launch: sleeve printing

Full creative freedom, now down to the sleeves.

You can now design directly on the sleeves of your favorite Tapstitch hoodies, t-shirts and sweatshirts.

Use our simple Design Tool to add your artwork to the sleeves of select Tapstitch bestsellers. Then add to your store or order on demand.

Same process. Same Tapstitch quality. More space to bring your vision to life.

How sleeve printing works:

1. Choose your blank: Use the catalog filter to find garments with sleeve printing enabled.

2. Add your sleeve artwork: Upload your image in the Tapstitch Design Tool and place it directly on the sleeve to preview in real-time.

3. Save, sell, or ship: Launch it to your store or place an order, and we'll handle the rest.

_{Sleeve-printing is currently only available for international fulfillment.}

‍

It's already getting love from creators:

"Having extra design space on the garment enhances my products. The sleeve printing came out super clean!"

Global costs are rising. Your prices shouldn't.

That means no surprise charges, no unexpected fluctuations - just stable, reliable pricing designed to keep your margins healthy through the holiday season and beyond.

Whether you're selling locally or shipping worldwide, you'll benefit from:

✅ No surprise import tariffs or fees

✅ Consistent, predictable margins

It's one more way Tapstitch helps creators sell smarter.

Ship smarter this season with US Fulfillment

No one wants to stress about shipping during the holidays, so we've expanded our US fulfillment range.

As of October, 85% of US orders now ship within 1 business day from our LA facility, and we've just expanded the range of eligible products. That means more of your favorite blanks - essential tees, heavyweight hoodies, and holiday-favorite sweatshirts - are now stocked stateside and ready to move.

This means a smoother, more reliable customer experience during your busiest season, with no compromises on product quality or branding.

What this means for your brand:

✅ Quicker turnaround = stronger reviews and repeat buyers

✅ Easier to meet gifting timelines

✅ Same Tapstitch quality, shipped closer to home

Whether you're launching a bestseller or testing something new, Tapstitch is built to help you stay focused on what matters: designing great products and growing your brand.
