Fewer, better things
We would rather sell you one mug you use daily than five you forget. Every blank is chosen to last.
The studioA small studio for
A small studio for
personal things.
Formworks began with a simple frustration: personalisation usually means a square photo slapped onto a product. We wanted to make things that look designed — and to let you see them properly first.
Our side of the deal
We choose fewer blanks, make them properly, and print them one at a time. Then we get out of the way and let you put something true on them.
Good blanks first
A 260 gsm organic cotton tee with a real worn shape. A double-wall steel bottle that keeps cold for 24 hours. A stoneware mug with a handle that fits an actual hand.
See it before it exists
Every product is modelled in 3D at real-world scale. Your artwork is projected onto the geometry, not flattened onto a mock photo, so folds and curves are part of the proof.
Materials & printMade to be
Made to be
worn out.
We print with water-based DTG on cotton and UV-cured inks on ceramics and steel. Both are soft to the touch, durable through normal use, and free from the plasticky hand feel of heat transfers.
Apparel
100% organic cotton, 260 gsm, garment washed. Soft-hand DTG, front and back.
Drinkware
18/8 stainless steel and glazed stoneware. UV-cured prints that wrap the curve.
Colour
Six garment dyes, five glaze and powder colours, seven print inks. Mix them freely.
Waste
Printed to order. Offcuts recycled. No dead stock, no seasonal landfill.
What we care about
Three rules we keep.
No fake previews
A proof should tell the truth. Ours uses real geometry, real colours and real proportions — not a flattened template.
Make it mean something
A name, a date, a drawing from a kid, a band you love. The best personalisation is specific.
How real is the 3D preview?
It is the actual product geometry with your artwork projected onto it, lit in a studio environment. Colours can vary slightly between screens and fabric dye lots, but the placement, scale and wrap are accurate.
What image should I upload?
A PNG with a transparent background is ideal for logos and line art. Photos work well at 1500 px or larger on the long edge. We resize uploads automatically so the print stays crisp.
Shipping & returns
Standard delivery is 3–5 working days after printing. Free over $75. Personalised pieces are made to order and are not returnable unless they arrive damaged or misprinted — in which case we remake them.
How do I care for it?
Wash apparel cold and inside out, then hang to dry. Hand wash printed bottles. Mugs are dishwasher safe. Avoid ironing directly over the print.
Can I order for a team or an event?
Yes. Email the studio with quantities and a deadline and we will set up a bulk proof. Volume pricing starts at 12 pieces.
