Setting Up Your Store
Get your merch live on the DIMBER Shop — artwork requirements, file specs, brand guidelines, and the approval process.
You get your merch in front of fans without managing production or shipping.
DIMBER handles the store layer so you can focus on the design and the audience. Once your merch is approved, it goes live on the DIMBER Shop and can sync to supported social storefronts without you managing inventory, fulfillment, or delivery logistics yourself.
How It Works
You submit your designs and tell DIMBER which products you want to sell. DIMBER reviews the files for print quality, technical readiness, and fit with the collective's identity before adding approved items to the store. Once published, products go live on shop.dimber.co and sync to Instagram and Facebook Shops.
The Approval Process
Submit your design files and product request
Send your artwork through DIMBER and specify the products you want to apply it to, such as tees, hoodies, posters, or accessories. Include enough detail that the team can match the design to the correct print area and product type.
DIMBER reviews for quality and brand alignment
DIMBER checks each submission for print quality, file specifications, and alignment with the DIMBER visual identity. If a file needs cleanup or a design needs adjustment, expect revision feedback before anything moves forward.
Approved designs are added to the catalog
Once approved, the selected products are configured for sale and added to the DIMBER Shop catalog. This includes matching the artwork to the right product variants and preparing the listing for storefront display.
Products go live and sync to social shops
Approved items appear on shop.dimber.co and automatically sync to Instagram and Facebook Shops. At that point, fans can discover and buy the products through both the main store and connected social channels.
Artwork & Design Requirements
Your submission needs to be ready for production, not just ready to preview. Use these requirements before you send anything in:
- Submit original artwork only. Do not use copyrighted, trademarked, or licensed material that you do not own or have written permission to use.
- Provide high-resolution files that hold up at the intended print size.
- Use clean backgrounds where the product requires them, especially for apparel and designs that need transparency.
- Make sure the design fits the product you want to sell on. A layout that works on a poster may not work on a front chest print or sleeve placement.
Unauthorized use of copyrighted or trademarked content will be rejected. Repeated or serious violations may result in removal from the DIMBER collective.
File Specifications
Prepare files to production standards before submission. If the source file is weak, the final product will be weak.
- File format: Use PNG with a transparent background for apparel graphics. Use AI, EPS, or SVG for vector-based designs that need to scale cleanly.
- Minimum resolution: Export at 300 DPI at final print size.
- Color mode: Use sRGB for digital previews. If accurate print color matters, include Pantone references or CMYK notes to help with color matching.
- Maximum file size: Keep exported files reasonably optimized for transfer while preserving print quality.
- Margins and safe area: Keep critical text, logos, and edges inside the safe area so they do not get clipped during production.
Export at the exact print dimensions whenever possible. Do not scale small artwork up after export and expect clean print results.
Brand Guidelines for Merch
DIMBER merch should look like it belongs to the collective the moment someone sees it. The visual direction is rebellious but corporate, so designs should feel sharp, intentional, and controlled rather than chaotic or generic.
Use #dd183b as the primary accent color when the design needs a DIMBER anchor. Some products may require DIMBER branding, including the logo or wordmark, and DIMBER will provide those assets when they are needed for the final product setup.
These are guardrails, not a full style manual. If a design fights the DIMBER identity instead of extending it, expect revision feedback or rejection.
