Knit-on-demand is an order fulfillment service for fully-knitted knitwear. Each knit apparel is not made until an order is placed. It is completely made to order so you could start selling without inventory.

The main difference between Knit On Demand and Print On Demand is the manufacturing process. At Knitwise, the whole apparel is knitted from yarns including the graphic design instead of printing the design on premade apparel. Therefore, it has premium quality with soft handfeel. Also, the graphic design does not wear off over time or after laundry.

There is no recurring cost when using Knitwise app. We charge the product cost and shipping cost by orders. For orders of fewer than 20 pieces per design, a $200 design and digitalization fee may be applied.

We are transparent about the pricing and only charge you the cost of product, shipping fee and sales tax. You could determine the retail prices, shipping fee and profit.

With the technology we built, we could manufacture as low as 1 piece via on-demand manufacturing system, so you do not need to hold inventory upfront. However, your accumulative order quantity per design is less than 20 pcs, a $200 design and digitalization fee will be applied to each design.
