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

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.

Why Ethically-Made Bucket Hats Matter 🌿
When you create with us, you’re not just designing products—you’re making a positive impact. Yourstuffmade.com is proudly B Corp Certified, meaning we follow ethical manufacturing standards that respect people and the planet.
We collaborate with locally owned factories that ensure fair wages, safe working conditions, and environmentally conscious production. By choosing sustainable options like organic cotton, recycled polyester, and low-impact dyes, your bucket hats don’t just look good—they do good.
Choosing ethically made products gives your brand extra credibility. More and more customers are asking: Who made this? Was it made responsibly? Partnering with Yourstuffmade ensures your answer is always yes.
Step 1: Choose Your Design 🎨
Your bucket hat design is where the fun begins. Think about your audience, your message, and how you want people to feel when they wear your hat.
- Logo Embroidery: Perfect for brands and businesses that want long-lasting visibility.
- Pattern Printing: Showcase bold designs, illustrations, or colorful themes.
- Minimalist Styles: Subtle yet trendy designs for fashion-forward customers.
Not sure where to start? You can send us your artwork (AI, PNG, JPEG, or PDF) or collaborate with our design team.
Step 2: Pick the Perfect Material 🧵
Choosing the right fabric is essential for comfort and branding. Here are the most popular choices:
- Organic Cotton – Eco-friendly, breathable, and ideal for embroidery or print.
- Polyester – Lightweight, quick-drying, and perfect for vibrant prints.
- Blended Fabrics – Combines durability with comfort, balancing both style and function.
Each material has its own strengths, so your choice depends on whether you’re aiming for premium fashion pieces, sportswear, or everyday wear.
Step 3: Decide on the Size 📏
Fit matters—especially for headwear.
- Adult Sizes: Standard circumference between 56–62 cm (22–24 inches).
- Child Sizes: Smaller fit between 46–54 cm (18–21 inches).
- Adjustable Options: Drawstrings or straps for added comfort.
By offering multiple sizes, you make your bucket hats more inclusive and versatile.
Step 4: Choose Your Design Method ✂️
Different design techniques can completely change the final look:
- Heat Transfer: Affordable and great for bulk orders.
- Embroidery: Durable, premium, and textured for logos or text.
- Silk Screen Printing: Best for bold and colorful designs that pop.
Your choice depends on budget, timeframe, and desired aesthetic.
