About The Last Minute
What is The Last Minute?
The Last Minute is an Indian brand that makes custom merch (hoodies, tees, caps, totes and mugs), real polaroid style photo prints, custom photo magazines and personalised scented candles. You design online at thelastminute.shop or describe your idea, and finish the order on WhatsApp.
Is The Last Minute the same as lastminute.com?
No. The Last Minute (thelastminute.shop, Instagram @thelastminute.co) is a custom merch and gifting brand from India. It has nothing to do with the travel site lastminute.com.
Where does The Last Minute deliver?
Anywhere in India: homes, hostels, offices, wedding venues and fest grounds. If you are unsure about your address, ask on WhatsApp before you order.
How do I contact The Last Minute?

Ordering
How does ordering custom merch work?
Design it in the online designer at thelastminute.shop/customize or just describe your idea. Send it on WhatsApp with the count, sizes and your date. We share a free mockup and confirm the details, and nothing is printed until you approve it.
Will I see my design before it is printed?
Yes. Every order gets a mockup first. You can ask for changes until it looks right, and printing starts only after you say yes.
Do I need an account to order?
No. You can design on the website without signing up and place the order on WhatsApp.
What file should I send for my logo?
A PNG with a transparent background, a PDF or a sharp, high resolution image works best. If you only have a screenshot or a photo of the logo, send it anyway and we will tell you if it will print cleanly.
Can every piece have a different name?
Yes. Send the list of names, roles or nicknames with the size for each person, and every piece is printed with its own name.
How do I pick the right size?
Measure a hoodie or tee you already love, chest width and length, and compare it with the size chart we share on WhatsApp. When people in a group are unsure, a size range check before printing saves a lot of swaps.
How long does an order take?
It depends on the product and how many pieces you need. Tell us your event or gifting date in your first message and we confirm honestly what is possible before you order.
Can I change my design after sending it?
Yes, until you approve the final mockup. After printing starts, changes are not possible, so check names and spellings on the mockup carefully.
Products
What products can I customise?
Hoodies, tees, caps, tote bags and mugs, plus polaroid style photo prints, custom photo magazines and scented candles with your own label.
What is the difference between screen printing, DTF and embroidery?
Screen printing suits simple designs with a few colours on many pieces. DTF prints full colour designs and photos with fine detail. Embroidery stitches the design in thread for a raised, premium finish. We suggest the best one for your design.
What are polaroid prints?
Instant style prints of your own phone photos, with the classic white frame and space for a caption. On thelastminute.shop/polaroids you pick a pack, upload, crop and caption each photo.
What is a custom photo magazine?
A printed A4 magazine of your own photos and words, 4 or 8 pages, made from ready templates for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, farewells, trips or any function. You make it online at thelastminute.shop/magazine and we print it.
Can I personalise a scented candle?
Yes. Add a name, a date or a short message to the label, and pair it with polaroids or other gifts in one box.
Groups and events
Do you make merch for college societies and fests?
Yes. Society hoodies, fest tees, core team merch, volunteer caps and farewell batch hoodies are a big part of what we make. See thelastminute.shop/college-fest-merch.
Do you make wedding squad merch?
Yes. Team Bride and Team Groom tees and hoodies, caps for daytime events, and gift boxes for family and friends. See thelastminute.shop/wedding-merch.
Do you do corporate gifting?
Yes. Branded hoodies, tees, mugs, totes and gift kits for teams, onboarding, offsites and festivals, made to match your brand colours. See thelastminute.shop/corporate-gifting.
After you order
How will I know my order has shipped?
We message you on WhatsApp once your order is packed and handed over for delivery. If anything changes on our side, you hear it from us first.
What if my order arrives misprinted or damaged?
Send us a photo on WhatsApp and we fix it with a replacement or reprint. Details are on thelastminute.shop/returns.
