Org cut is 30% of base retail on every sale from sale #1 — no minimum, no platform fee. The direct-ship surcharge is supporter-pays and passes through entirely to cover postage; it does not affect your 30%. Supplier costs marked [not set]need Tyler to enter the value in Shopify (Inventory → Cost per item) before the fundraiser blast. Shipping costs are real USPS Ground Advantage 2026 rates including packaging. Payment processing (~2.9% + $0.30/order) is inside TLC's cost, not deducted from your share.

Honest Comparison
How we compare.
Custom Ink, 4imprint, and SquadLocker come up when you search for team merch and corporate gifting. Snap! Raise and Boon come up for fundraising. Here’s what actually separates each one.
Team stores, corporate programs & group gifting
The question most buyers are actually asking: can I get each person’s name on their piece — without a warehouse, a 100-unit minimum, or a 3-week lead time?
| Platform | Per-item names? |
|---|---|
| The Lasercraft Co. | Yes — name, artwork, or message on every piece |
| Custom Ink | No — same design on all units |
| 4imprint | No — logo imprint, all units identical |
| SwagUp | No — standardized kit for everyone |
| SquadLocker | Name/number on jersey apparel |
| BSN Sports | Name/number on jerseys |
Fundraising & community platforms
The question fundraising chairs are really asking: how many dollars does my cause actually keep per sale — and what does the supporter get to show for it?
Boon’s 40% sounds bigger. Here’s the math.
Boon advertises 40% profit on catalog items averaging around $14 each. 40% of $14 = $5.60 per sale. We pay 30% on a $25 engraved tumbler with your supporter’s kid’s name on it. 30% of $25 = $7.50 per sale. The percentage that looks bigger is the one that earns less. The number that matters is the dollar.
| Platform | Org keeps |
|---|---|
| The Lasercraft Co. | 30%+ |
| Boon Supply | 40% |
| Snap! Raise | ~82% net |
| Custom Ink Fundraising | ~20–35% |
| ABC Fundraising | 40–50% |
| Cherrydale (defunct) | ~40–50% |
¹ Boon Supply: profit percentage sourced from their published marketing materials.
² Snap! Raise: ~18% platform fee per their published pricing; ~82% net reflects funds remaining after fee. Snap! Raise collects cash donations — not product sales; direct comparison is limited.
³ ABC Fundraising: profit range sourced from their published website marketing.
⁴ Cherrydale Farms: defunct school fundraising catalog company; merged with Anderson’s approximately 2019. Included for historical reference.

Named keepsakes
Engraved tumblers, journals, and keychains with the supporter's name — not a generic candle from a catalog.
