Industries

Limited Runs and Merch

For studios, publishers, brands and creative businesses selling products made in limited quantities. A run has a fixed size, but customers may choose between sizes, colours or formats, and stock moves quickly around a release. Art.Industries connects the run, its variants and the units available to sell.

Art.Industries comes with predetermined blueprints for each industry: a ready-made set of sections and fields suited to what you sell. Start from the one that fits, or create a blueprint of your own, fully custom to your industry. One workspace can use several at once.

Why it is managed differently

The run size is part of the story

How many were made is part of what the product is. The run size and production batch stay with the product and its variants, so the team and the customer can see what kind of release it is.

Variants split the stock

Sizes, colours and formats may share one product idea but sell independently. Each variant can be identified and counted without creating a disconnected catalogue entry.

The release changes demand

A drop may move from preparation to release and sell-through in a short period. Release dates, status and reserves help the team understand what is ready to offer.

Production meets fulfilment

Supplier details, packaging and available quantities connect what was produced with what can be shipped. The record follows the product beyond its initial design and launch.

Answers

For Limited Runs and Merch

Can I manage sizes and colours as variants?

Yes. Variants can represent size, colour, format or another choice, with their own identifiers and available quantities while remaining part of the same product run.

Can each variant have its own SKU?

Yes. SKU and barcode information can identify individual variants, making them easier to find, count and connect with orders across different stock locations.

Can limited products be sold through my website?

Yes. Products can be offered through a connected storefront, with checkout using the available inventory so sales and remaining quantities stay in the same system.

Can I also use print on demand?

Yes. Products suited to print-on-demand production can be connected to Prodigi, which handles production and shipment while the resulting orders remain visible in Art.Industries.
