FAQs
Are your Adidas, Nike, and products authentic?
Yes. All branded items we sell are 100% genuine, original products. Empulse is not directly affiliated with or endorsed by Nike, Adidas, or any other listed brand. We source Nike and Adidas teamwear through Australia's authorised reseller, and other branded items through trusted authorised distributors, to guarantee authenticity. Brand names and trademarks are used strictly for product identification purposes.
What does ‘made-to-order’ mean for the customer?
It means your item is created only after you order it, ensuring it’s freshly made just for you. This reduces waste, overproduction, and gives you a more thoughtful shopping experience.
What makes Empulse a sustainable streetwear brand?
We use a made-to-order model, meaning nothing is produced unless it’s purchased. Our apparel is crafted from organic cotton, recycled polyester, and Sorona® fabrics, with low-impact printing and compostable packaging, eliminating waste and excess stock.

How do I know what size to order?
Most Empulse garments feature a unisex fit, and our sizing charts are included on every product page. If you're unsure, we recommend comparing measurements to a garment you already own or contacting us for tailored advice.
How do I know if my order is confirmed?
Your order is confirmed when you receive a confirmation email with your order number, details, and shipping info. If you don’t see it, check your spam folder or contact our support team.
Can I change my shipping address after my order is placed?
Yes, you can often change your shipping address after placing an order, but it depends on the seller's policy and the order's status.
Steps to Update:
- Check Order Status: If the order hasn’t shipped, you can usually make changes.
- Contact Support: Reach out to customer service as soon as possible for assistance.
- Update via Account: Some platforms let you edit the address directly in your order history.
If the order has already shipped, changes may not be possible, but the carrier might offer rerouting options.
Custom Apparel & Accessories
What size should my image be for the best print quality?
We recommend uploading files at a minimum of 1500x1500 pixels. If you're designing in print software (like Photoshop), export your artwork at 300 DPI for best results. Higher resolution means sharper, cleaner prints, especially on apparel and large items like towels.
Can I use a photo from my phone?
Yes. If it’s taken on a newer phone and looks clear on your screen, it should print well. Avoid screenshots, blurry selfies, or compressed files from messaging apps.
What file types can I upload?
We accept PNG, SVG, JPG, JPEG, and PDF.
For the cleanest results, especially with logos or designs on t-shirts and hoodies, use a transparent PNG.
What happens after I upload my design?
Our design tool will automatically crop your image to fit the product. You’ll be able to scale, move, and rotate it before finalising.
How do I make sure my design is centered?
Use the zoom tool to check alignment. Keep important details (like text or logos) away from the edges. What you see in the preview is exactly what will be printed.
Can I add text or combine it with an image?
Yes. You can upload artwork and also use our built-in text tool to type in names, phrases, or slogans. Keep fonts bold and avoid small sizing, especially for apparel.
Are there any design tips specific to the product I choose?
Absolutely.
- Center artwork, avoid fine print.
- Keep it simple and front-facing (~2.5” wide max).
- Use horizontal artwork for best wrap-around placement.
- Go big, but leave margin space at the edges.
Can I change my design after submitting my order?
No. Once your design is submitted, it goes straight into production. Our system is fully self-service. Please double-check your layout before checkout.
Need help before ordering? We offer design assistance for a small fee. Just reach out to our team.
What content is not allowed?
We do not print any designs that contain:
- Hate speech
- Nudity or explicit imagery
- Copyrighted or trademarked content without proper rights
Uploads are reviewed for compliance.
