You're describing polgyons and ellipses by their control points so it is typicall far smaller than a PNG save at the same size.Scalable: You can render it at any size you want.I tested this, downloaded it, edited it in GIMP and with a text editor.. and it scales and renders perfectly. This is ideal for those vendors that can work with this. Some may want eps instead but cross that bridge when you come to it.l
Right folks. I want to revisit this and drive it forward with the goal of going live in October in good time for Christmas.I'll do some looking into things like Spreadshirt, but I'll take feedback and anyone with experience of such stores can chime in on advice, help with set up.I now have a super quality PNG of the site logo as the opening round of products (obvious products being the logo - I want a NSF iPhone cover for example - and we build from there via our talented content producers/rev splits etc.).
Chris.Shopify is the one I would go for. We've integrated with it in the past, it has tons of add-ons/plugins and widely supported.

Looked at that and certainly seems to be for high volume, which we won't be. Did notice: "Spreadshirt Goes Shopify". So starting with Spreadshirt still seems the best option and any need to expand means we can take it with us. Shopify is also a charge rate site, so you're starting a minus before you even begin. But getting a basic store going and then expanding the range (especially custom created items) in Shopify and adding Spreadshirt via their association looks like a future option!
To the 15 people following this thread and anyone else who takes a look, I was looking for an NSF T-shirt for myself and found this thread instead, so in a PM to Chris I offered to help launch an NSF store. In the past I have created HTML ads and successfully sold a number and variety of items on eBay, so Chris has accepted my offer, and we have exchanged several additional PMs.A prototype store was easy enough to create on Spreadshirt, but the only preview available was buried in the settings menu and can't be seen by anyone except me. Chris asked for a screenshot and files can't be attached to PMs so I am attaching it here. It's the top portion of the product list page that shows only 8 of 48 items I pre-selected for display. Customers can click a link to go behind the scenes and choose from all the products Spreadshirt offers, because items can be printed one at a time. Naturally I uploaded the NSF logo for one design option, and Brady Kenniston's famous Falcon Heavy Demo photo is just for temporary fun unless he would like to keep it on the NSF sales channel. An upcharge can be added for each design.Please take a look and share what you think so far. I can do more with the banner and change what's on display if it's a go. Unfortunately Spreadshirt doesn't offer a way to sort the order of display items individually, so that part is going to have remain a bit haphazard.
