Merch By Amazon Print Quality | Amazon Merch Print Quality | Shirt Review

About this video

RJ shows a Merch by Amazon shirt he ordered of one of his own designs to answer questions about print quality. The standard t-shirt in heather blue, made by Port and Company in size large, arrived in a small plastic package and he describes the material as very soft. Holding the design up close, he praises the detail — lines, pebble-like texture on the pie crust, and filling spilling out — calling Merch by Amazon’s print quality among the best he has seen. The design, a slice of pie combined with the pi symbol for Pi Day (3.14), was made by his illustrator Paul. RJ explains he outsources design and illustration because he is not good at them, and that he, his illustrators, and his typography person do product research together on calls. He stresses research and building relationships with his outsourced team in the Philippines, noting the design sits a little low on the shirt. Amazon prints and ships the shirt to the customer for him; he only ordered this one to film it. He adds that if Amazon sends the wrong product, messaging them gets a refund right away, but warns not to abuse that or risk an account ban.
