Orders, Production and Shipping

Production and Shipping

While most companies aren’t exactly transparent when it comes to shipping times, NolimitsSociety doesn’t beat around the bush. Thanks to our shipping calculator, you can easily determine how long deliveries will take based on destination and order value.

Besides offering one of the quickest turnaround times in the industry (inside of 48-hours for 95% of orders), NolimitsSociety also promises affordable, straightforward shipping costs.

Shipping price is based solely upon order value (the production cost we charge you), and there are no hidden fees. For comparison’s sake, our competitors base their costs on which product types are ordered, individual product prices, and item count. This can prove to be overly complex, and you won’t deal with this headache when opting for NolimitsSociety.

Where your orders will be produced depends on your selection during the registration process. NolimitsSociety has 3 production facilities in Europe and 2 production facilities in the USA

If your orders are produced in Europe:

Products in Europe will either be produced in our main office in Leipzig, Germany or one of our bigger production facilities in Krupka, Czech Republic or Legnica, Poland.

If your orders are produced in the USA:

Your products will be produced at one of SPOD’s two U.S. print facilities. Our Greensburg, Pennsylvania, and Las Vegas, Nevada facilities are well-versed in quality and speed, assuring an ideal buying (and selling) experience and have the resources on-hand for a high ceiling of upward scaling.

The Greensburg facility houses eleven cutting-edge printers, clocking in at an average print time of 5.72 seconds per product. With forty-nine employees on hand, the plant produces an average of 3,100 products per day. Meanwhile, the Vegas facility employs the services of twelve printers and thirty-six employees, giving that facility an average print time of 5.83 seconds per product and 2,304 products printed per day.

For various reasons, there are some countries that NolimitsSociety cannot ship to.

Under the “Orders” section in your dashboard, you will find a list of your orders. By clicking on an order, you will see its status.

NolimitsSociety cannot process partial fulfillment orders.

This means, that you can only process an order if you request fulfillment for all the items in the order.

If you would like some items not to be fulfilled, then you need to cancel the order and place it again with the items removed, then request fulfillment for the complete order.

As soon as NolimitsSociety ships your order, a tracking ID/URL is provided for the order in the dashboard. Check the tracking status of individual orders from the dashboard by clicking “Orders” and then selecting the order in question.

Please note: Payment has to be accepted before we produce an order, which means the item will only have a tracking link when the item is in production.

If you have an address in the USA and your orders are shipped from one of our US production locations, your address will be automatically set as the RTS (Return to Sender) address.

If you live outside the US or the orders are shipped from our European production locations, then NolimitsSociety’s address will be automatically set as an RTS address.

If an order is placed that is out of stock, it will be flagged as “needs action” in the dashboard. When clicked, there will be more details stating which action is specifically required.

We will put the item in production as soon as it is in stock, normally within the next 28 days. However, if you do not wish to wait, you can replace the item with a similar product. It may be advisable to contact us to discuss product replacements.

Finally, it is also possible to simply delete the order.

FAQs and answers about order process

Customers have the ability to create “manual orders” which are special orders placed on behalf of the customer. These are similar to standard orders, and we’ll proceed with the traditional process once the payment has been received. All the customer has to do is send their order specification to order@nolimitssociety.site or info@nolimitssociety.site and complete their payment.

It’s important to remember that all orders need a proper shipping address. If the shipping address is incomplete or missing, the orders will not be created. In order to proceed with production, the proper shipping address will need to be submitted.

If you believe the shipping address is correct and the order hasn’t shipped within 48 hours, then please contact order@nolimitssociety.site or info@nolimitssociety.site .

Once you have approved an order, there is still a chance to edit or cancel the order, but only before it is taken into production. You can cancel the order via order@nolimitssociety.site . You can also change the shipping address before an order moves to In Production status.

Once an order moves to In Production there is no longer an option to edit the details of the order or cancel it. NolimitsSociety will not refund orders that need to have details changed, or be canceled.

Design, Products & Printing

Digital Direct, also called DTG or Direct-to-garment, is the standard print method for NLS. As a customer, you’re able to change the print method to plot printing — if it’s possible for the selected design. You can see if a design is eligible for plot printing by clicking on the design and opening the color selection. If it is available, you will be able to select Flex, Special Flex, and Flock as printing methods.

Digital Direct

In computer-controlled production, design colors are sprayed onto the product. Digital Direct is a fan favorite and NLS standard print method (selected by default).

Available for all file formats
Vivid print results
The design surface feels smooth

Thermo sublimation

The design is initially printed on a transfer foil and then put onto the product by means of thermal evaporation.

Available for all file formats
Minimum resolution for pixel graphics: 400dpi
Used to print on accessories like mugs and phone cases
Results in a colorized product surface

Digital Transfer/Laser Transfer

The design is initially printed onto transfer foil and then printed on the product by applying heat. White products use a transparent foil, colored products use a white transfer foil.

Available for all file formats
Used to print on accessories like bags and caps

Flex Printing

The design is printed onto matte foil and then heat-pressed on the product.

The design must be in a vector graphics file.
Maximum of three colors per design.
Suitable for text and smaller designs (e.g. logos).
Once printed the design feels smooth.

Flock Printing

The design is cut out of a velvety foil and then heat-pressed onto the product.

The design must be in a vector graphics file.
Maximum of three colors per design.
Once printed the design feels velvety.

Special Flex

With a similar Flex printing process, this special method is used for special effect foils, like glitter or glow-in-the-dark.

The design must be in a vector graphics file.
Suitable for text and simple designs.
Only one color per design is possible.

Please note: For all plot prints (flex, flock, and special flex printing), an extra $2.50 / 2,50€ will be added to the product price when they are selected. This is a one-time charge per product, not per design or print area.

Laundry test for best print results

Before products are added to our range, we make sure they live up to our high standards with thorough testing. Products and prints must go through a cycle of ten washes without losing color saturation before we consider them satisfactory for our customers. We accept nothing but brilliant prints with realistic color reproduction. This is the best way to establish quality assurance.

Colors may look different on the printed item than they appear on your monitor. This may be due to different reasons:

To print pixel designs, we need to render the color scheme from RGB to CMYK and make color corrections if necessary. This may lead to slight color variations.
Every screen displays colors differently. A combination of brightness, contrast, and saturation can change color effects significantly.
The color of the fabrics has an effect on the print result. The example below illustrates how different colors come out on white, black, and different-colored fabrics.

Certificates and official seals exist to document criteria like the cultivation and production of cotton as well as the production conditions in which the goods are manufactured (e.g. the absence of lead in children’s items and other matters related to lead or PVC content). All certificates must be renewed regularly.

We continually strive to keep up-to-date on the most current information about our more than 30 manufacturers and suppliers.

Here you can find an overview of the certificates, official seals, and codices that were presented to us before this page’s last update (10/2020). If a manufacturer cannot be found here, this does not mean that this company’s products do not have certificates rather that no certificates were presented before this page’s most recent update. We ask you to please bear this in mind.
