Awesomized Tees is built on Lean principles. Not “corporate Lean” as a buzzword — the real thing: humility, respect, and continuous improvement. These principles influence how we design, produce, fulfil, communicate, and improve.

Our Lean Principles

Humility

We assume we can be wrong, and we stay curious. We ask the extra question, double-check the details, and look for the simplest path that still delivers a great result. When something goes sideways, we don’t blame — we learn.

Respect

Respect shows up in practical ways: clear communication, realistic timelines, accurate proofs, and disciplined production control. It also means removing ambiguity and hidden friction. That’s why we use structured online proofing — every change is explicit, tracked, and approved. No guesswork. No “I thought you meant…”.

Respect also means honest pricing. We don’t believe in unnecessary fees. There are no screen setup fees, no design change fees, and no surprise shipping charges on orders over 24 items. Our prices are quoted as delivered / in-your-hands prices. Anything less is disrespectful of your time and your budget.

Continuous Improvement

After every project, we look for friction and eliminate it. That might be a clearer approval checkpoint, a better proofing step, a tighter packing process, or a smarter way to collect recipient details. The goal is always the same: more value, less waste, fewer surprises.

What This Means for You

• Unambiguous approvals — online proofing ensures every design change is clear, documented, and signed off.
• Clear checkpoints — you’ll always know what stage your order is at, and what we need next.
• Fewer admin headaches — intake is structured so you’re not chasing sizes, colours, or addresses.
• Better reliability under deadlines — we plan backwards from in-hands dates and protect the critical path.
• Straightforward pricing — no setup fees, no design revision fees, no hidden shipping costs.
• We improve over time — the next project should be easier than the last because we actively remove friction.

Closed-Loop Improvement

We don’t treat fulfilment as “ship it and forget it.” Delivery is confirmed, tracking is shared, and we capture what would have made the project smoother — then we build that learning into our standard workflow.
