What this page will not tell you
- Invented production / SLA / CRM / finance / turnaround advice
- Site-wide MOQ / free-logo / lead-day tables
- Eco / FSC / recycled % without verifiable PDP language
- MTO rewrite (use 275); layaway rewrite (use 351); loyalty rewrite (use 365); BOPIS recreate (115 already LIVE)
- Sports / venue / club gift-retail framing
Next steps
- Confirm the desk is special-order hold (not MTO brand program / layaway / loyalty / BOPIS)
- Shortlist soft hold + hard takeaway + outer bag/mailer from verified handles; note PDP pack counts
- Route to 275 / 351 / 365 / 361 / 67 / 41 as needed
