From Concept to Creation

Students will learn how to design school-inspired products—like backpacks, totes, pouches, planners, and apparel—that blend functionality with fresh, creative branding. The course covers ideation, material selection, production options, and fulfillment strategies, ensuring participants leave with a market-ready product and a launch plan perfectly timed for the back-to-school season.

Printing and production options vary depending on budget, quantity, and customization needs. For low-risk launches, print-on-demand services like Printful or Printify allow creators to test designs without holding inventory, though costs are higher per unit. Bulk manufacturing, whether overseas or domestic, offers lower unit prices and full customization for proven products but requires larger upfront investment and storage. A hybrid approach—purchasing blanks from wholesalers and customizing them locally through screen printing, embroidery, or heat transfer—balances flexibility with quality control. Each method can be paired with self-fulfillment, third-party logistics, or dropshipping to match your brand’s scale and strategy.
