About 1322 Designs

The thinking behind 1322.

Creating something is easy. Creating the right thing takes curiosity, intention, and conversation. At 1322 Designs, we want to understand why a product should exist in the first place: who it is for, what it needs to accomplish, and what you want someone to feel, remember, or do when they receive it.

It started with a T-shirt machine

1322 Designs did not begin with a business plan to build a promotional products company. It started in Austin when a friend was selling a T-shirt machine. Lavert Rodgers was looking for something creative to do, bought the equipment, and started making shirts for fun. Then someone asked, "Can you make coffee mugs?"

Then came another question. And another project. And another possibility. Over time the equipment changed, the capabilities expanded, and the projects became more complex. But the curiosity behind 1322 never really changed: what are you trying to create, and what is the best way to make it happen?

How We Think

The right tool for the right idea

In-House Capability

Our range of production equipment allows us to create, test, personalize, and produce many projects directly, with flexibility for both traditional and smaller-run needs.

The Right Method

We choose the production method based on the material, quantity, design, timeline, and desired result, not because one process happens to be our default.

Trusted Production Partners

When a project calls for capabilities beyond our in-house equipment, we work with trusted production partners rather than forcing the wrong process.

Quality Control

Whether a project is produced in-house or with a trusted partner, 1322 owns the quality of the finished result.

We're excited to help bring your project to life.

The Question We Hear Most

Why can't you just quote me?

Because a quote without context is really just a guess. Quantity, timeline, audience, budget, materials, decoration method, and what you are trying to accomplish can all change the right solution, and the price. A short conversation helps us recommend what actually makes sense instead of throwing numbers at the wrong idea.
