We'll fund your sublimation
side hustle launch.
A free pack of Lead Sleeve products — shipped to you, anywhere in the world — in exchange for content, honest reviews and collaboration. Built for small businesses, entrepreneurs and individuals taking their first real shot at sublimation.
The fund
A real launch kit — not a discount code.
We back makers we believe in. If your application fits, we ship you a free starter pack of Lead Sleeve products at our cost — so you can print, photograph, list and start selling without risking a penny on your first batch of stock.
Free starter pack
A curated set of Lead Sleeve blanks shipped to your door — enough to build a launch range, photograph it, and list it for sale.
1-to-1 launch support
Direct access to our team for print profiles, pricing, packaging and the exact Etsy/Shopify listing copy that converts.
Maker community
Private community of sublimation sellers sharing supplier lists, design templates and what's selling right now.
The exchange
All we ask in return: content & collaboration.
No fees, no royalties, no contracts locking you into anything. We just want to see what you make and share the story.
Share what you make
Post a few pieces of content showing your prints — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Etsy listings, anywhere.
Tag and credit us
Mention @leadsleeve and link back so other makers can find us.

Grow with us
When you're ready to scale, we offer founder pricing on wholesale orders.
Who it's for
Built for first-time sublimation founders.
You don't need an established brand, a big following, or a finished business plan. You need ambition, a printer (or a plan to get one) and the willingness to share your journey.
