Invoice Power

Multi-Project Consolidation in a Single Master Invoice

Real customer orders are rarely just one shirt style. In The Print Life, an invoice can contain multiple distinct projects—like screen printed tees, embroidered trucker hats, and DTF hoodies—each with its own artwork, mockups, and supplier POs consolidated into one clean customer invoice.

  • Combine screen print, embroidery, DTF, and promo products seamlessly
  • Independent mockup proofs and blank inventory assignments per project
  • Consolidated payment checkout and deposit tracking on one invoice
  • No messy line-item workarounds or split customer billing confusion
