Cost Factors at a Glance
| Factor | How it affects cost |
|---|---|
| Size | Larger pillowcases usually cost more because they use more fabric and print area. |
| Fabric | 2WAY Tricot is the recommended premium option; Peach Skin is the budget option. |
| Pillow insert | Sold separately if you need a complete body pillow. |
| Artwork | Prepare 300 DPI RGB artwork to avoid file issues before production. |
| Taxes and import duties | Included in the order price. |
| Returns | Custom products are not returnable for non-quality issues. |
1. Size Affects the Price
Larger dakimakura sizes use more fabric and printing area, so they usually cost more than smaller sizes. Before choosing the largest option, think about how you will use it, where it will be displayed, and whether you already have a matching pillow insert.
2. Fabric Choice Matters
Different fabrics have different costs. A budget fabric can keep the order lower, while a premium fabric may cost more because of its feel, stretch, and comfort. The best choice depends on whether you care most about price, comfort, or display quality.
3. Pillowcase and Pillow Insert Are Separate
A custom dakimakura order usually refers to the printed pillowcase. The pillow insert is not included with the pillowcase. If you need the inner pillow too, add a matching dakimakura pillow insert separately.
4. Artwork Preparation Can Save Time
Good artwork helps the order move more smoothly. Prepare a high-quality 300 DPI RGB file before checkout. PNG is preferred, and a high-quality JPG can also work. If your design has two sides, label the front and back clearly.
5. Check the Final Order Before Checkout
Before placing your order, review the size, fabric, quantity, artwork, and delivery details. Taxes and import duties are included, so customers should not need to pay extra import-duty charges on delivery.
Because custom products are made to order, returns are not supported for non-quality issues such as change of mind, personal preference, or selecting the wrong size or material.
Simple Cost Checklist
- Choose the size you actually need
- Pick the fabric that fits your budget and use case
- Add a pillow insert only if you need one
- Prepare 300 DPI RGB artwork before ordering
- Review the final checkout total before payment
