Ordering Custom Products for the First Time?
We make custom product manufacturing easier, clearer and less stressful — especially if this is your first order. Here are the most common questions about where products are made, timelines, deposits, shipping, samples, MOQs and artwork files.
Quick Answers
First Order Questions
1) Where are your products made?
Your Stuff Made is supported by a global team focused on high-quality custom products, ethical manufacturing and local customer support.
- 🇦🇺 Melbourne, Australia — Creative, logistics and APAC support
- 🇵🇭 Manila, Philippines — Customer care, design and operations
- 🇨🇳 Shenzhen, China — Prototyping, manufacturing and sourcing
- 🇺🇸 San Diego, USA — Fulfilment and U.S. logistics

- 🇬🇧 London, UK — Creative, logistics and EU support
We are committed to ethical, B Corp-aligned manufacturing values, including responsible labour standards, better production practices and more transparent custom product sourcing.
2) What is your turnaround or manufacturing timeframe?
Turnaround depends on the product type, artwork complexity, quantity, finish, packaging and shipping destination. These are general estimates for around 100 units:
- 🧸 Small Goods: around 8 business days | From $90
Pins, charms, keychains, patches, magnets, plush toys, bottles and similar products. - 👕 Apparel: around 18 business days | From $95
T-shirts, hoodies, caps, socks, tote bags, jewellery and wearable products. - 📝 Stationery: around 8 business days | From $75
Notebooks, pens, stickers, bookmarks, washi tape and paper goods. - 🎉 Events: around 7 business days | From $98
Lanyards, medals, signage, wristbands, neon signs and event merchandise. - 📦 Packaging: around 7 business days | From $98
Gift boxes, bags, tape, ribbon, inserts and branded packaging.
Need an exact timeline? Send us your product, quantity, artwork and delivery country and we can confirm the best production path.
3) How do tariffs, fees and taxes affect costs?
We help make international ordering easier with DDP Shipping, which means Delivered Duties Paid.
- ✔️ Import taxes, duties and tariffs are prepaid where applicable
- ✔️ Fewer surprise customs bills or hidden delivery charges
- ✔️ Less paperwork for you, because the shipment is prepared for door-to-door delivery
In some countries, a low product cost can become expensive once import duties, tariffs and handling fees are added. DDP shipping helps reduce that uncertainty by including those costs upfront where possible.
4) Do you accept 50% deposits?
Yes. Most custom product orders can begin with a 50% deposit.
- 50% deposit to begin production
- 50% balance after production proof or photo proof, before shipping
This gives you more confidence because you can review what is being sent before final payment and dispatch.
5) What is the Minimum Order Quantity?
Many products have no MOQ or low minimums, because great ideas should not be limited by large order requirements.
- ✅ Many small goods have no MOQ
- 🔢 Some products start as low as 1–25 units
- 🧵 Apparel, packaging and stationery often allow low-run production
Tip: Bigger orders usually lower the cost per unit. Ordering multiple product types together may also help reduce shipping costs.
6) Can I see samples before ordering?
Yes. Samples are a great option if you want to test a new design, check colours, confirm materials or feel more confident before placing a full order.
You can upload your design and request 1 unit or a small sample run. Our team will review the details and prepare a custom sample quote before full production.
7) What if my order arrives damaged or has quality issues?
We stand behind the products we make. If your order arrives damaged or has a quality concern, email us at hi@yourstuffmade.com with photos, your order details and a short explanation.
Our team will review the issue and provide a tailored solution based on the product, order details and situation.
8) What file formats work best?
For best results, send us:
- .AI files where possible
- PNG files for clear artwork previews
- PDF or JPEG if that is all you have
Not a designer? No problem. You can send a sketch, screenshot, rough idea or logo and our design team can help turn it into a production-ready file.

How to Create Custom Lanyards: A Complete Guide 🏷️✨
Custom lanyards are one of the most versatile and functional accessories you can create for your brand, team, or event. From corporate offices and schools to festivals, trade shows, and employee ID cards, lanyards serve as both a practical tool and a branding powerhouse.
At Yourstuffmade.com, we make creating custom lanyards simple, ethical, and accessible for everyone, from first-time makers and independent creators to global brands. Plus, with our 50% deposit to start, express worldwide delivery, and commitment to locally owned, ethically run factories, you can bring your ideas to life without compromise.
Here’s your complete guide to creating lanyards that stand out and represent your brand values.
Step 1: Define the Purpose of Your Lanyards 🎯
Before jumping into design, start with the purpose:
- Conferences and trade shows → branding and comfort matter most.
- Employee ID or security lanyards → breakaway clips and safety features are key.
- Schools, organizations, or clubs → budget-friendly but durable materials are ideal.
Knowing the purpose helps determine the right lanyard material, design style, and attachments for your project.
Step 2: Design and Layout 🎨
Designing your lanyards is where the fun begins!
- Best file formats: Ai, PNG (preferred), PDF, JPEG, or SVG.
- No designer? No problem. We offer FREE design help—just send a sketch or idea, and we’ll make it digital-ready.
👉 Pro Tip: Keep designs clean, bold, and high contrast for the best readability.
Step 3: Choose the Right Material 🧵
Your material sets the tone for durability, comfort, and brand perception. Here are the most popular options:
- Polyester: Lightweight, durable, and fade-resistant.
- Nylon: UV and water-resistant, perfect for outdoor use.
- Cotton: Eco-friendly, soft, and biodegradable—great for sustainability-conscious brands.
- Woven: Upscale and professional for premium events.
- Recycled materials ♻️: Made from repurposed plastics to reflect eco-friendly values.
- Leather: Luxurious, premium branding choice.
- Silicone: Flexible, durable, and perfect for safety-focused environments.
Step 4: Select the Size and Length 📏
- Widths: 1 inch = bold branding, ½ inch = minimal and subtle.
- Lengths: Standard lanyards are 36 inches long, designed for everyday comfort.
Step 5: Choose Attachments and Accessories 🧷
What your lanyard holds determines your attachment:
- Metal or plastic clips → IDs, passes, badges.
- Key rings → keys or lightweight tools.
- Badge holders → perfect for conventions or staff IDs.
- Breakaway clips → added safety for schools or work environments.
