Distributor-only net pricing
We don’t publish prices and we don’t sell direct. A PPAI, ASI, SAGE, PAPPA, or DistributorCentral number gets you the current net price sheet.
For Distributors
A footwear decorator built for the promo channel.
We sell exclusively through promotional products distributors. Net pricing, blind shipping, free mockups, and a team that has worked thousands of POs from the industry’s largest firms. Your client never sees our name unless you want them to.
What you get
Free mockups before anyone commits
Send the styles and the logo; we send digital mockups on each one, clean and client-safe, ready to forward. On orders of 25+, a first-pair photo for sign-off before we run the rest.
Your client’s footwear or ours
Your client can buy on their own account and ship to us, or we buy on their behalf at full retail in the confirmed sizes. Either way, no inventory risk on your side. We do not keep inventory at our facility. We have decorated everything from sneakers to running shoes to bowling shoes, golf shoes, rubber rain boots, slippers, even roller skates!
Blind shipping, your brand
Your packing slip, your return address if you like. Drop-ship to each recipient, split-ship by office, or one address. Packing lists and manifests on every program.
Mix and match on one PO
Styles, colors, and sizes on a single order. Most programs do.
Kitting in-house
Custom box (we do not make or sell boxes, but they can be provided), bag, notecard, laces, inserts. Finished kits ship from here, not from a third party.

How to send a PO
Email the PO to orders@theavecustoms.com with the items below. Incomplete POs and sizing are the number one cause of delay.
- Footwear style and colorway, and whether your client is sending it or we’re buying it
- Size list (spreadsheet): recipient name, size, and ship-to address if drop-shipping
- High Res artwork (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG, JPG, PNG) and PMS colors if needed
- Placement preference (heel, tongue, side, insole, or “your call”)
- In-hands date
- Blind ship? Your packing slip and return address if yes
- Kitting or packaging extras
- Your shipping account number, if we’re shipping on it
