Built to stand out.

Kustomly is a Toronto-based custom apparel studio with in-house production equipment, direct blank suppliers, and one singular focus: creating a booth experience the CNE has never seen before.

🏭
100% in-house production
We own our DTG/DTF printers, heat presses, embroidery machines. No middlemen, no quality gambles.
🎨
Live customization on the spot
The Patch & Decal Bar turns attendees into creators. They design it, we make it, they wear it home.

Locally rooted, nationally ready
A Toronto brand applying for Toronto's biggest event. Our story resonates with CNE's community mandate.
The Patch & Decal Bar

Four steps.
One memory.

The experience guests post about. The moment that makes a fair booth unforgettable.

Guest picks a product
T-shirt, hoodie, cap, tote bag, keychain, or phone case — from our CNE booth display.
02
Guest designs it
Browse our curated patch and decal collection. Mix, match, personalize. Our team guides the process.
03
We make it live
Heat press, patch application, or vinyl transfer — done in minutes, in front of the customer, visibly.
04
They wear it out
The guest leaves the CNE wearing something they made. Instant memory. Instant social content.
What attendees can customize & buy

Endless combinations.

Apeology.
Streetwear with a signal.

Alongside the Patch & Decal Bar experience, Kustomly's CNE booth will feature the full streetwear collection of Apeology — a bold, graphic-forward brand built around identity, rebellion, and Toronto culture. Limited runs. Designed to be worn, not kept.

Booth concept

A two-zone booth
designed for flow.

Every element of our booth setup is designed to draw foot traffic in, keep guests engaged, and send them out with something they made — and want to share.

Zone A
Retail Collection
Seasonal product display — folded and hung apparel, caps, tote bags, phone cases, and keychains from our current Kustomly collection. Clearly priced. Shoppable on arrival.
Branded fixtures and bilingual signage (EN + ES)
Full product size range available
Contactless and cash payments via Shopify
Printed receipts for all transactions
Zone B — The Star
Patch & Decal Bar
The live customization station. Guests select a product, choose their patch or decal design, and our team applies it using professional heat presses. Fast, fun, and visible from the aisle.
2–3 Kustomly staff on-site at all times
Professional heat press equipment — we own it all
100+ patches and decals curated per day
Production visible from the aisle — it's part of the show
Why Kustomly at the CNE

We don't duplicate
any existing vendor.

Kustomly adds an interactive, experiential layer the CNE Shoppers' Market currently doesn't offer — and brings organic social amplification with every piece created.

2026 fair dates
Enercare
Shoppers' Market target
🧲 Foot traffic magnet
A heat press running live draws crowds. Watching someone customize a cap is more compelling than any retail rack — and it keeps guests at the booth longer.
📱 Social media amplifier
Every custom piece created at the fair becomes organic content shared by the guest — extending the CNE's reach well beyond its dates, at zero cost to the fair.
🌿 New experience category
Kustomly doesn't duplicate any current CNE vendor category. We add an interactive, make-it-yourself format that the Shoppers' Market doesn't currently have.
🍁 Toronto-rooted brand
A local Toronto business applying for Toronto's biggest event. Our bilingual EN/ES team reflects the city's real community — and the CNE's own mandate.
Operations & compliance

CNE needs from us.

We are fully prepared to meet every CNE exhibitor requirement from day one.

Business Registration
