# Wiser

Its New York company, Wiser Manufacture Corp., brings production from the group's factories in China and partner factories in Vietnam, Bangladesh and Cambodia to more than 200 fashion brands, retailers and public apparel groups, and hands goods over locally in the US with duty paid.

Wiser has its own design studio (FIT-trained designers) and knitwear factory in China. It works with fashion brands placing development and production, and with creators launching their own label.

### Creator FAQ
#### Is there a minimum order for creator merch?
Not for drops. Pre-order drops use DTF, DTG or embroidery with no minimum: your audience orders during the drop window and Wiser makes exactly what sold. Bulk runs start at 24 pieces for embroidery and 50 for screen print.

#### Do I need to hold inventory?
No. In a drop, buyers pay at checkout, everything is made in one batch after the drop closes, and each order ships to the buyer. You never buy stock up front.

#### How much do I keep per sale?
You set the retail price. Your earnings are retail plus buyer shipping, minus production, pick and pack, postage, duties and card fees. Ask an agent to run wiser_drop_earnings, or see the examples on wiser.co.

#### How is this different from print-on-demand?
The garments are cut and sewn in factories that make for fashion brands: 240 gsm garment-dyed tees, 380 gsm brushed fleece, real embroidery, woven labels and hang tags. Orders are batched, inspected and imported duty paid.

#### Can my AI agent plan and price my merch?
Yes. Add wiser.co/mcp to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client. Agents can read the catalog, price bulk runs, estimate drop earnings, draft a launch plan, render mockups and send Wiser a brief. A person approves anything that costs money.

#### Who makes the merch?
Wiser's own factory and design studio in China make it, and Wiser Manufacture Corp. in New York imports it duty paid. Wiser has made apparel since 2006. Online ordering and payments run on LUFF Supply, operated by LUFF LLC.
