Frequently Asked Questions

A vector file is a print-ready graphic that is commonly used in design. A good way to tell whether or not a graphic is a vector or not is that vectors can be infinitely resized without losing any sharpness or color quality. (Zoom in as much as possible and if the image does not get pixelated, it is a vector!)

We have sustainable options in all product categories. (Ask your account manager for more details)

‍

Absolutely! Here are your two sample options:

1. CME sample route.
   Please reference the specific product catalog for more information (located on the last page)
2. Sample store route.
   Our in-house sample inventory consists of products that past clients have already created. This route is limited to product style. We will not be able to guarantee color, fabric, or decoration.  $10 per headwear box (up to 3 hats/beanies), $20 per flannel/shirt/shorts.
3. Wholesale sample route.
   These samples would be ordered straight from our wholesale partners and shipped directly to you. (Richardson, Next Level, etc.)

For custom artwork, our design team charges $125 per hour.

‍

No, you can not. Each minimum pertains to just one color, style, or decoration.

Unfortunately, you can not. CME hats come with their own patches when being created. You can only use custom patches on Rora or wholesale products. Want more information on our patch program?

Lead times can vary from product to product (see specific catalogs for details). Note: Wholesale products generally take less time to produce than CME products.

Rora Basics are Brist’s version of “wholesale hats”. Much like you can order a “112” from Richardson, you can order a “Hudson” style hat from Brist. We've put a lot of thought, creative, and design into recreating our favorite hats in a way that's unique to Brist but familiar to the market.

CME (Custom Made Easy) products are completely custom, meaning they are completely built from scratch by Brist, for you. These products have more customization options but generally have longer lead times. What products fall into this category? Flannels, button-ups, swim shorts, hats, and beanies.

‍

“Wholesale” refers to pre-made “ready-to-wear” products that ship to Brist, to then be decorated in-house. A few examples of wholesale companies are AS Colour, Next Level Apparel, and Gildan.
