Your Equipment Makes Money When It's Running.
Every decoration shop has capacity that changes.
One week you're completely booked.
Another week you've got room on the schedule.
A press goes unused for part of the day.
An embroidery machine has open production time.
Your heat presses could handle additional work.
The problem isn't necessarily your ability to produce more. It's finding the right jobs to fill that capacity.
That's where DecoMatch comes in.
DecoMatch Brings Another Source of Jobs to Your Shop.
DecoMatch connects distributors who need apparel decorated with qualified decorators who can produce those orders. You aren't committing to take every job. If the job fits your shop and you have capacity, claim it. If you're busy, don't.

Busy? Don't Take the Job. Have Capacity? Put It to Work.

We're giving qualified decorators another source of production opportunities. You decide when DecoMatch fits your schedule.
Another Way to Monetize Your Heat Presses
We Supply the DTF Transfers. You Handle the Production.
For DecoMatch DTF heat-press jobs, DecoMatch supplies the transfers required for the order. Your shop receives the production-ready job and handles the heat-press application according to the specifications.
That means you don't have to:
Sell the order
Find the customer
Produce the artwork
Sell the transfers
Source the DTF transfers for the DecoMatch job
You provide the production capacity. DecoMatch brings the job and supplies the transfers.

What Can Open Heat-Press Capacity Be Worth?
If a job requires one impression per garment and the shop averages approximately:
1 impression per minute
That represents approximately:
60 impressions per hour.
At a $1.50 labor rate:
60 × $1.50 = $90
in production labor per hour
2 impressions per minute
That represents approximately:
120 impressions per hour.
At a $1.50 labor rate:
120 × $1.50 = $180
in production labor per hour
Turn Available Press Time Into Additional Production Revenue.
Examples are illustrative only. Actual production speed, labor revenue and profitability vary based on equipment, operator, garment, transfer, job specifications, setup, workflow and other shop costs. These examples are not guaranteed hourly earnings.
DecoMatch Isn't Just Heat Press.
Screen Printing
When distributors submit screen-printing jobs that match your capabilities, DecoMatch can provide another source of work for your presses.
The value is simple: more opportunities to keep production moving.
Embroidery
When DecoMatch has embroidery orders that fit your equipment and available capacity, qualified embroidery partners can have the opportunity to claim those jobs.
Put available machine time to work.

When you have unused capacity, many of those costs still exist. DecoMatch is designed to help qualified decorators turn some of that available capacity into additional production revenue.

We're Not Trying to Change Your Business.
DecoMatch is not asking you to:
Stop working with your existing customers.
Dedicate your entire shop to DecoMatch.
Accept every job.
Hire salespeople for DecoMatch.
Chase distributors looking for production work.
Instead:
Review the opportunity.
Decide whether it fits.
Claim the job.
Produce it well.
Good Distributors Need Good Decorators.
The quality of DecoMatch depends on the quality of the shops in the network. That's why decorator access is not automatically granted.
We're looking for professional decorators who can consistently:
Produce quality work
Follow approved production specifications
Communicate clearly
Meet agreed deadlines
Maintain professional production standards
Package and complete orders properly
Take responsibility for the jobs they claim
If you claim the job, we're counting on you to deliver.
Is Your Shop a Good Fit?
DecoMatch may be a fit if your shop provides one or more of the following:
Screen Printing
Professional screen-printing production capability.
Embroidery
Commercial embroidery production capability.
Heat Press
Professional heat-press capability for DTF and transfer application.
If you claim the job, we're counting on you to deliver.
Don't Change Your Business. Just Add Another Source of Work.
When you're approved for DecoMatch, you don't have to make a major commitment.
Wait for a job that makes sense for your shop.
Review it. Make sure you have the capacity.
Claim it. Produce it.
Then decide whether you want another one.
We're Building the Decorator Network Carefully.
DecoMatch is currently adding decoration partners by invitation. We want to build a network of reliable decorators—not simply the largest possible list of shops.
As distributor demand grows, we will continue adding qualified production capacity to the network. The goal is to create good opportunities for good decorators.
