What Custom Products Does Gateway Feathers Offer?

Updated

Gateway Feathers offers custom design printing on feathers and feather products through its Gateway Printz service, plus custom orders for select non-archery items. The clearest path is to contact Gateway directly with your design or request; the site lists phone (1-520-805-0863) and email ([email protected]) as the contact channels for custom work.

Custom printing: Gateway Printz

Gateway Printz is the company's custom logo and design service. According to the site, you can get your own logo or design printed, or choose from existing designs. Two details matter for planning:

  • Full-length feathers are included. The site states it can now do custom Printz designs on full-length feathers, not just cut fletching.
  • Existing designs are available. The site highlights a Batwing design (now offered in 2" left wing) and a Hann-Bun-Kuro design as ready-made options.

If you want a custom logo on fletching or full-length feathers, the site's instruction is to contact Gateway for custom orders rather than completing a standard checkout for that item.

Custom orders beyond archery fletching

The homepage also lists custom-order work outside its core feather fletching line:

Product What the site says
Widdy tournament darts Described as "the official tournament darts by Widdy"; custom orders by contacting Gateway
Turkey quills Custom turkey quills made for Zucker Feather; custom orders by contact
Window displays A custom window display project for Louis Vuitton is shown as an example; custom orders by contact

These examples suggest Gateway takes on specialty and commercial feather work, but the site does not publish a custom-order form, price list, or turnaround time. Treat pricing and lead time as things to confirm directly.

How to request a custom order

  1. Decide what you need: a logo or design printed on feathers (standard fletching or full length), or a custom item such as darts or turkey quills.
  2. Contact Gateway by phone or email with your design and quantity. The site's custom-order links all route to "contact us" rather than a product page.
  3. Confirm details before ordering: whether your artwork is usable, minimum quantities, pricing, and delivery timing are not stated on the site, so ask.

Buying standard products vs. custom work

Standard feathers, accessories, DVDs, and branded apparel appear to be orderable through the online store, and the site notes free shipping on US orders over $40. Custom Printz work and the specialty items above are handled through direct contact. If you are ordering standard fletching and also want a custom design, expect to handle the custom portion separately from a normal cart checkout.

One practical note from the site: Gateway states it is accepting orders and continuing operations after a fire disrupted a planned combination with Ozark Feathers. It also lists US dealers (Lancaster, Kinsey's, Feathers N Wood, 3 Rivers) and European partners (Bignami, SSA, Black Flash, Eagle and Merlin in the UK) as alternative ordering routes. For custom work specifically, going direct to Gateway is the route the site describes.
