Frequently Asked Questions

Does a starter kit include everything I need to start?

The kit includes the bag and insert (and sometimes an accessory). You still need your own merch — pins, plushies, or photocards — to display in the window. Pin backs are also recommended separately for security.

Will the insert actually fit my bag?

Yes — that's the point of a kit. The insert is selected or pre-installed to match the window dimensions of the specific bag in the kit. It won't be an afterthought sizing issue.

Can I upgrade the insert later?

Absolutely. Many collectors start with the kit insert and later upgrade to a different color, material, or custom-cut size. The insert is a replaceable component, not a permanent part of the bag.

Is a starter kit cheaper than buying separately?

Usually yes or equivalent — kits are priced to be competitive with buying the bag and insert separately. You're paying for convenience and guaranteed compatibility, not a premium. “`
