STOCK SERVICE vs CUSTOM

Whether your brand is just getting off the ground or is already globally distributed, we are the partner you lost hope in finding.

 

With local and offshore screen printing operations, and with long-standing relationships with overseas mills and manufacturers, we’re equipped to take on your entire apparel line – regardless of what that means. Our off-the-shelf blanks partners, like Ramo Collection, are a cornerstone of Platform’s local apparel prowess. If you have the budget and the time though, we’ll engage our team of in-house Technical Design Ninjas to storyboard a fully custom line of on-trend garments for your brand. Custom fabrics, custom silhouettes, and custom trims, all manufactured overseas with reasonable minimums. The sky is the limit!
