Frequently asked questions

Can creators manufacture merchandise from their own artwork?

Can a drop include multiple members or characters?

Yes. Use a SKU matrix that separates artwork, quantity, packaging and allocation for each variant.

Can you assemble merchandise bundles?

Bundle feasibility depends on component timing, packaging, labeling and destination requirements. Define the packing sequence early.

How do you prevent variant mix-ups?

Use unique SKU identifiers, approved references, controlled packing instructions and quantity reconciliation.
