Hi Arnjen

Welcome to the forums I know there is a sponser here that does something similar to what you are talking about. They are called High Style Productions, if you click on the link for them on the left side of the page under the preferred vendors section you can go to there website and see if maybe they have what you are looking to do. I am not sure of how many companies do everything but I know there are some similar threads here at the forums. If you use the search function at the top of the page you should find some info I think Raw talent is another one that may be able to help. I think the only problem you may run into is that you are in a different country so you would need to find someone willing to work internationally. Hope this helps some in your search.

You make more profit doing things in-house. You will have a disadvantage in the marketplace because you do not have control of your costs. If your marketing efforts allow you to charge a premium price then this business model can work, but it is very difficult if you have to compete on price but still have to job out everything.

Your situation is not that different than many members here

Not everyone wants to print things themselves. You don't have to be a printer to start your own clothing line. MANY clothing lines (big and small) don't print their own stuff.

As for printing companies, they are too numerous to list. You can find them all over google

If you're looking for a specific vendor recommendation, please post in our Referrals section of the forum you'll get more leads there.
