About Us

Gliragap: Efficient Operations, Profit-Driven Goals

Rachel Ellen Williams founded Gliragap in Los Angeles, under KIMS LITERACY LAB LLC. Gliragap was built with a focus on sustainable business outcomes. I’ve seen enough overly complex business models out there; I chose a direct path. We focused on market-responsive products and internal efficiency.

Customer Experience: Easy Ordering, Quick Receipt – That’s Efficiency.

Gliragap’s Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) model is implemented because it’s the most effective way for us to sell directly and control costs. Cutting out intermediaries means we retain a larger profit margin, which also helps streamline pricing for customers on each product, which is crucial. Everything from design, production, to packaging is handled in-house. This structure supports internal coordination and helps manage production variables.

The website is designed to streamline the ordering process for customers. The goal is for you to quickly submit requests and track orders from any device, saving time for both parties. Gliragap offers clearly defined products with transparent order information. Pricing is kept straightforward, and the brand focuses primarily on direct product communication. Clear pricing, clear products, direct transactions –This method is intended to support simplicity and manageable cost structures.

Gliragap Products: Ready Stock, Clear Sales Targets.

Gliragap’s main products are t-shirts and sweatshirts. We produce these items in various sizes and, crucially, always keep them in stock for immediate dispatch. This approach is intended to support healthy stock flow and meet demand efficiently and meet demand efficiently. Keeping products in stock allows for more efficient fulfillment and smoother operations.

We produce clothing to directly meet market demand and drive sales. Our products serve clear customer segments: individuals needing practical, comfortable everyday wear; groups wanting matching apparel for events; or anyone needing a simple, easy-to-buy gift to avoid complicating the sales process. We focus on practical designs that don’t chase complex trends to ensure high utility and a stable product lifecycle, which helps in efficient inventory management.

Gliragap specializes in two main product types: t-shirts and sweatshirts. Design choices are informed by observed customer preferences and demand patterns, not vague inspiration. We use cotton because it’s a popular, wearable material that is cost-effective. Brushed fleece for sweatshirts is selected for its warmth and good print compatibility, helping maintain production efficiency. Garment cutting is optimized to fit a wide range of body types, increasing sales potential and reducing unsold inventory. Producing in large batches aims to optimize unit costs and maintain a stable supply for the market.

Customization: Adding Revenue, Flexible Response.

For customization services, customers tell us what they want printed, and we print it. This process serves as an additional revenue stream based on specific demand. Print methods are selected depending on order requirements and production considerations for each request. All critical details are clarified before production to avoid errors and minimize waste of time/materials.

Custom orders are processed quickly, usually within 1-2 business days, sometimes faster if simple. Prompt fulfillment supports internal efficiency and helps maintain production flow.

Gliragap Operations: Process, Capacity, and High Performance.

Material Sourcing: Where Money Starts Flowing

We partner with U.S.-based suppliers for our raw materials because this sourcing choice helps maintain a steady supply and manageable material consistency.:

• Big Duck Canvas supplies light, breathable cotton, chosen for its popularity and cost-effectiveness.

• Fabric Wholesale Direct provides brushed fleece and structured PE fleece, meeting our requirements for durability and print compatibility.

All materials arrive at Gliragap’s facility in Los Angeles. We manage the entire process here, from material intake to production and order fulfillment. Centralizing all operations in one location aims to optimize efficiency, cutting down costs associated with dispersed processes.

Materials & Production: Balancing Cost and Quality

We select cotton for t-shirts because it’s a cost-effective material suitable for mass production of everyday wear. Fleece for sweatshirts is chosen for its warmth and print compatibility, making the product competitive. These choices support efficient mass production and allow for flexibility in custom orders when requested, maximizing revenue potential.

The sewing process is strictly monitored to ensure consistent product quality and minimize defective goods. Before packaging, each item undergoes a quick inspection to ensure no major flaws, making it ready for sale and helping reduce issues post-fulfillment.

Shipping: Completing Transactions, Optimizing Costs

Orders are packed and shipped via USPS, UPS, or FedEx. The carrier is selected based on cost-effectiveness and delivery speed for each specific case. Each order includes a tracking number for customer self-service, reducing post-sales support inquiries. Standard delivery within the U.S. typically takes 5-6 business days. The shipping approach is designed to support timely delivery and operational consistency.

Gliragap Team: Focused on Results.

Gliragap’s core team consists of 4 capital contributors – individuals with shared business orientations and financial objectives. Additionally, we employ over 20 people in production, including part-time staff, to ensure continuous and stable operations, meeting market demands promptly. We don’t focus on complex “company culture” aspects. The structure is oriented toward process efficiency and meeting operational demands.

Work is clearly allocated. Compensation is based on role and workload, ensuring fairness and encouraging performance. Seasonal bonuses or other supports are considered based on the company’s overall financial performance. Remote collaborators work under clear agreements, and payments are made on schedule, ensuring operational stability.
