A little History
iMadeit was founded in 2015 as an empowerment platform for crafters to sell their products for free. The idea originated from a family member of our Managing Director, who had a house full of crafts but struggled to find employment.
Since then, we have evolved significantly. In early 2016, we purchased our first personalisation equipment, and our capabilities have expanded enormously. We now offer in-house sublimation printing, vinyl cutting, laser engraving, laser printing, and direct-to-film printing.
iMadeit.co.za has also partnered with all the major corporate gifting houses, enabling us to offer comprehensive corporate gifting and branding services.
Although the business began as a one-woman show, it has grown to include studios across two provinces (Gauteng and the Western Cape). We distribute products throughout South Africa via our various logistics partners. With a vast range of products to choose from, we are continually adding new items almost every week.
Who are the people behind iMadeit.co.za?
iMadeit.co.za is led by three dynamic women, each running a studio (two in Johannesburg and one in Cape Town). We take great care in designing, cutting, pressing, and constructing each item we send to you.
