Sourcing at MAGIC · Las Vegas 2026
Seven years in a cage.
Then somebody OPENED IT.
His name was Paco. Seven years neglected in a cage before anybody bothered to get him out. 2nd life, new name: 2-Pac. Now he travels the world, no leash.
You're not in a cage. But if you're taping boxes at eleven at night, you're not building a brand either. Proper is the production department and warehouse for apparel brands that outgrew doing it themselves. You source your blanks. We print, embroider, stock, pick, pack, and ship. You go do the work only a founder can do.

Who this is for
We're not a volume 3PL. We take on a small number of brands and run the whole operation: production, inventory, fulfillment, shipping. That works best once you're shipping consistently, so the partnership starts at 100 orders a month.
Three brands only · MAGIC 2026
Sign at the show, we fly you out.
Shipping 300+ orders a month? Sign a 12-month partnership at the show and we fly two of you out to El Paso for the onboarding weekend. We move your inventory in, set your store up, and you watch your product run.
- 01 Round-trip airfare for two
- 02 Two nights, hotel covered
- 03 Dinner and drinks with the crew
- 04 Shop tour and a full production day
- 05 Your inventory received and shelved
- 06 A mandatory Glamour Shots session with 2-Pac
The partnership: twelve-month term, then month to month. We become your exclusive fulfillment and warehousing. On production you owe us nothing but a look. Bring us any competing quote and we get two business days to match it. If we can't, run it wherever you want.
Signing takes about four minutes. One page, on your phone, at the show. It locks your rate, your term, and your spot in the three. The full agreement follows within fifteen days, and nothing moves out of your warehouse until you've read and signed that too.

The Proper Proof Box
Don't take our word for it. Book a call, send us one design you actually sell, and we'll produce it and ship it to you. Free. Screen print, embroidery, DTF, stickers, labels, and our real packaging, so you can hold the work before you move a single box.
