Get Ahead of the Game: Early Access to 6000+ New Products is Here!

April 15, 2026

We are thrilled to announce a massive evolution of the GearLaunch catalog that will redefine what you can offer your customers. We aren’t just adding a few items; we are launching a massive expansion of over 6,000 new products spanning 8 different decoration methods.

During this exclusive Early Access phase, we are putting the spotlight on three of the most premium, highly-requested techniques in the industry: Embroidery, Laser Engraving, and Liquid 3D.

Here is everything you need to know to prepare your storefront for these high-margin, stand-out products.



🧵 Embroidery: Unlimited Color, Infinite Potential


Forget what you know about traditional embroidery limitations. Our new line offers a massive competitive advantage: no limits on thread count or color options. While other platforms cap your creativity, our process allows for complex designs with 10+ thread colors, giving your brand a truly high-end, retail feel.


Seller Preparation Tips


To hit the ground running, you’ll need to have your artwork ready in a .dst file format. If you don’t have experience creating these files yet, we recommend exploring these popular software options:

  • FileStar (Great for quick conversions)
  • Ink/Stitch (A solid open-source option)
  • Hatch Embroidery or Wilcom EmbroideryStudio (For professional-grade digitizing)

⚠️ Crucial Best Practice: Dimensions are everything. The new dashboard does not allow resizing after a file is uploaded. Before you export your .dst file, double-check that your design fits the intended placement:

  • Small Badge: ~3"
  • Medium Badge: ~8"
  • Full Chest: Up to 12"


💧 Liquid 3D: Innovation You Can Feel


Want to offer something your competitors don’t have? Enter Liquid 3D. This innovative 3D-printing method adds physical texture and depth to your designs, making them literally "pop" off the product. It’s the ultimate way to create premium, tactile merchandise.



Seller Preparation Tips

Getting started is simple: all you need to provide is a clean PDF file of your design.


Design Best Practices

  • Do: Use vibrant colors and bold gradients. These look spectacular in 3D.
  • Don't: Avoid special effects like drop shadows, glows, or grain. These digital effects do not translate well to physical 3D prints; keep your edges crisp for the best results.


🔥 Laser Engraving: Classic Style, Simplified

For those looking for a sleek, timeless aesthetic, Laser Engraving is now available. The best part? It’s incredibly easy to adopt. If you’ve used our standard 2D dashboard, you already know how to use this.


Seller Preparation Tips

  • Upload Process: Exactly like our standard 2D tools—no steep learning curve here!
  • File Type: Just prepare and upload a standard vector file, and the laser takes care of the rest.


Premium Branded Blanks Now Available


We are also offering high-quality blank apparel made by top brands such as Nike, Adidas, and many others! You can easily use these branded Nike and Adidas products available directly in your seller dashboard to elevate your storefront.

⚠️ Important Trademark Rule:
Even though you can sell on these premium blanks, you cannot upload artwork containing branded images or trademarks (such as the Adidas logo). Please ensure all your uploaded designs are completely original!


🚀 How to Get Started


The Early Access phase is your chance to experiment with these premium methods before the crowd. Focus on your most popular designs and imagine how they might look reimagined with the texture of embroidery or the precision of laser engraving.

To jump in, simply start a new campaign and select the "Other Decoration Methods" option in your catalog.

Prepare your files, check your dimensions, and let’s start building the next generation of your brand!Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to roll out new features to help you grow your brand!
