Especially now, in these days of mass production, limited editions, one of a kinds and bespoke items are all the rage. So now we have a company aptly named LimitedCargo which takes this trend for the rare and the unique and mixes it up with brands/blogs and merch tie ins. LimitedCargo only makes a limited edition of a product, which will never be replicated again. Ever. Every other Tuesday these items are put up for sale until they are sold out for good. Those who are lucky enough to get their hands on a LimitedCargo product, are allotted a box in which they can upload a personal photo, thus showing off their brand love and devotion. The first 12 boxes (which also represent the first 12 products for sale) are usually priced higher than those below it. Currently, fans of Mashable can get a special, limited-edition blue and pink t-shirt (it matches Mashable’s own color scheme). As always, items are numbered, so be sure to grab yours today. All sales are final.

“limitedCARGO was created to enhance the connection between a brand or blog and its fans and readers.
It works like this: A brand/blog partners with limitedCARGO to offer a numbered, limited edition product never to be reproduced again. Fans/readers get to show their appreciation and love for that brand/blog by positioning themselves along side it through the purchase of a numbered square. Once purchased the fans/readers can upload an personalized image and a link into their box. This unique shopping experience rewards both parties.”

LimitedCargo has latched on to a clever marketing ploy which rewards all involved. Brands/blog get to create a little furor over their limited edition product, stirring up even more interest. Buyers get to demonstrate their coolness and brand appreciation; plus, they get their picture on the website. LimitedCargo itself gets buzz from the companies that hire them; and as they’re selling limited products, they’re sure to go fast. Basically, everyone gets a little PR thrown their way.

How much of a cut does LimitedCargo take? Are items refundable for any reason? Do they ship worldwide? What products other than t-shirts do they make?
