Build around your shop’s own identity

A shop illustration, neighbourhood reference or original reading-themed design can give the collection a clear point of view. Confirm permission before using book-cover artwork, author photographs, publisher marks or quotations. Identify any credits or artist approvals needed before the proof is signed off.

Keep core stock separate from event releases

A permanent shop-logo item and a dated author-event piece need different quantity plans. Separate retail stock, staff items and complimentary copies in your request. Review sizes and colours against the audience, then use actual sell-through to guide reorders.

Planning guide

Plan the artwork across bags and garments

The same illustration may need different dimensions on a tote and a tee. Keep important text readable, check contrast against the selected colour and show any required front or back placements. Save the approved artwork version with the garment and bag details for future orders.

What to include in your enquiry

  1. Separate your permanent shop collection from event-specific merchandise.
  2. Provide quantities by product, colour and size, including staff or gift allocations.
  3. Send original artwork and confirm permissions for third-party creative material.
  4. Share event dates and the earlier date stock must arrive for display or distribution.
  5. Review the full quote, product details and artwork proof before approving production.

Minimums, setup costs, pricing and production timing depend on the selected products and decoration. Review the complete quote and artwork proof before approving your order.

Your questions, answered

Can we use book covers on merchandise?

Only where you have the necessary permission. Supply the authorised artwork and any usage or credit requirements with your enquiry.

Can totes and tees share an illustration?

Yes, but the artwork needs a placement review for each product. Dimensions, contrast and printable areas differ.

Can we repeat a successful design?

Keep the original product and artwork records. Availability, colour choices and pricing are reviewed again when reordering.

Beyond apparel

Small extras for your reading community

Explore notebooks, pens and other promotional products for shop events, reader packs and staff gifts. Choose items with a clear purpose and include the catalogue names or numbers, quantities and budget in your enquiry.

Promotional products have item-specific minimums, decoration options and lead times. Share your required in-hand date so the selected items can be reviewed.
