Getting custom merch moving should not require a long chain of vague emails before anyone knows what you want printed.
The new Trap Door Print Quote Builder gives you a clearer place to start. Choose your garment, add your print details, upload your artwork, create a mockup and send the request through for review.
It gets the important information in one place. The Trap Door Print team still checks every quote before production is confirmed.
The builder is made for the part of the process between “I have an idea” and “here are the production details.”
That means fewer missing details and a better starting point for the conversation.
Start with the thing you are actually making. That might be a T-shirt, fleece, headwear, skateboard deck, accessory or another printable product.
Choosing the product first gives the rest of the quote a useful frame. A back print on a heavyweight tee has different considerations from a small mark on a cap or a graphic on a deck.
Tell the builder where the artwork goes and what you want printed. Be specific about the placement, number of print areas and any details that matter to the job.
If you are not sure which print position makes sense, use the notes field to explain the outcome you want. “A bold back graphic for a merch drop” is more useful than guessing at a technical term and choosing the wrong option.
Upload the best version of the artwork you have. If the file is not quite ready, say so in the brief rather than quietly hoping it will work.
The Quote Builder helps collect the job details. It does not replace a proper artwork and production check.
A mockup gives everyone something concrete to look at before the quote is finalised.
The mockup is a decision tool. It is not a promise that production can ignore the garment, artwork or print requirements.
Once the garment, print details and artwork are in place, send the request through.
The Trap Door Print team reviews the quote before production is confirmed. That human check is important because a useful quote depends on the actual garment, artwork, print areas, quantities and production details together.
You do not need a perfect production brief to begin, but the process is easier when you have:
If you only have the idea, start there. The more context you add, the more useful the review can be.
The Quote Builder is not an unattended checkout that sends a job straight to production.
It helps you assemble a clearer request. The team still reviews the details and confirms the official quote, approval information and production requirements before anything is locked in.
That is useful for both sides. You get a clearer path to a quote, and the production team gets the context needed to catch problems before they become expensive surprises.

It helps you build and submit the quote request, but the Trap Door Print team still reviews the details before confirming the official quote and production information.
Upload the best artwork you have and explain what still needs attention. If the design is not print-ready, flag that in the request so it can be reviewed properly.
The current Quote Builder flow supports creating mockups so the garment, artwork and print details can be reviewed together.
The public flow covers garments and print categories including apparel, fleece, headwear, skateboard decks and accessories. The right options and production details depend on the product and artwork.
No. Add the print location and describe the result you want. If you are unsure, explain the intended use, garment and artwork so the team can review the decision with the rest of the quote.
Choose the product, add the print details, upload your artwork and send the request through for review.
