Move With Ambition – Because Every Step Has a Reason
Honestly, it didn’t all start with some grand brand vision. It came from something very specific — the desire to make shirts and handle everything directly.
Back then, even choosing fabric, picking a cut, or just adding one extra line of text on a shirt meant waiting for someone else. The available options weren’t flexible, changes weren’t really possible, and everything always felt like a delay. So Palleun started doing things ourselves — slowly, step by step.
Now, that’s changed. The whole production process happens in-house. Palleun buy fabric, create patterns, cut, sew, print, store, and pack orders all in the same space where the team works. There’s no middleman, no outsourcing.
How Palleun Operate
Everything is sold directly on the website. Palleun don’t use marketplaces or resellers. When there’s an order, if the item is already in stock, it’s picked, packed, and shipped straight away. If it’s a custom piece, it’s handled right in the workshop.
Most of what Palleun make are t-shirts and sweatshirts. They’re produced in small batches with in-house designs and kept in storage so customers don’t have to wait.
Some custom orders are accepted — things like printing personal images, adjusting text, or tailoring to specific measurements. These aren’t mass-produced and are only done when there’s time and it fits the team’s capacity.
Why These Materials?
Palleun don’t follow trends or choose fabric based on gut feeling. Every fabric is selected based on how manageable it is — especially for small-scale handling.
There are two goals: having stock ready for fast shipping, and being able to handle one-off custom jobs. Both need fabric that doesn’t wrinkle too easily, stretch out of shape, or get distorted during printing.
For t-shirts, Palleun use lightweight cotton with a smooth surface. It’s not so thin that prints bleed through, but not thick enough to feel stuffy either. It holds its shape after washing, and heat pressing doesn’t cause curling at the edges.
For sweatshirts and hoodies, the team uses brushed fleece or heavier PE fleece. The inside is soft enough to wear comfortably, and the outside is smooth enough for printing. The fabric has a slight stretch but doesn’t warp horizontally — which helps when printing larger images.
For custom orders, Palleun pick cotton blends or light poly-blend fabrics in neutral tones like white, gray, or nude. These colors print evenly, stick well under heat, and don’t shrink or melt. That matters when printing small details or pale colors.
When choosing materials, the team also considers whether the fabric can be cut by hand without industrial machines. And it needs to match the current printing sheet sizes — no point switching everything just for one type of fabric.
Sourcing & Fabric Check
Palleun don’t work with too many suppliers. Most are domestic and willing to supply small lots or trial orders. Only one or two new fabrics are added each year — and only if there’s a real reason.
When the fabric arrives, there’s no fancy machine involved. Everything is inspected manually — touch, stretch, heat press, print tests. If the fabric smears, curls, or shrinks too much during testing, it’s out — even if it’s cheap.
There’s no bulk stockpiling. Every order is based on projected production for the next month or two, always adjusted based on what’s already in storage.
In-House Production Flow
Once the fabric’s cleared, it goes straight to the workspace. That’s where everything happens — from cutting and sewing to printing and storage.
Palleun use custom patterns, not templates pulled from marketplaces. The goal is to keep things steady and repeatable, but still leave room for quick adjustments when needed. Speed isn’t the focus — just avoiding delays.
Printing is done in two ways: heat transfer or direct-to-garment, depending on the material and image. Graphics come from Palleun’s own design library or files sent by customers. Some steps — like cutting transfer paper or heat pressing — are being semi-automated to save time.
After printing, every shirt is inspected by hand. The team checks if the print is clear, the fit is correct, and the seams are clean. There’s a checklist for all of it.
Finished shirts are individually bagged and stored in small batches for easy tracking. The storage space is part of the production area — nothing is outsourced.
Order Handling & Shipping
When an order comes in, if it’s already in stock, it’s packed and shipped. If it’s a custom piece, the whole process starts from scratch — cutting, printing, checking, packing.
Palleun ships via USPS, UPS, or FedEx, depending on the region and delivery speed requested. Every shipment comes with tracking details sent by email.
Custom Orders
For customers who want a fully personalized shirt — image, text, sizing — Palleun follow a separate flow. After filling out the contact form, the team responds with what’s doable and how long it might take. If it’s confirmed, production begins right away. The process is the same as regular items, except nothing is pre-stocked.
Most custom orders are done in 1–2 business days, depending on how complex they are. A few steps — like adjusting file layout or scaling graphics — are still manual for now, but efforts are ongoing to simplify that too.
What’s Next
Everything Palleun has changed so far came from real problems. If something doesn’t work, the team adds a new step to fix it. Nothing gets changed just because it “should be.” Only when it needs to be.
Instead of adding new product lines, the team is focusing on automating repetitive tasks like pressing and packing. There’s also a goal to improve custom handling so it doesn’t rely too heavily on manual work. Smaller sub-processes are being separated, so different parts of the system can run without bottlenecks.
Some new items — like fabric totes or caps — are being tested. But nothing goes into production unless it can run through the same system without needing a whole new setup.
The internal tools for order tracking and inventory are also being reworked — less reliance on memory or manual spreadsheets.
Palleun aren’t trying to do more. Just trying to do it better, more smoothly, and in a way that still works — even if one person’s out that day.
