Bulk Custom T-Shirts & Promotional Apparel

Q: Should I choose embroidery or screen printing?

Embroidery stitches the design into the fabric. It reads as the more considered option, survives repeated washing without fading, and is the usual choice for polos, caps and outerwear. It suits compact designs — a chest logo rather than a full-width graphic.Screen printing lays ink onto the fabric. It handles large designs and bold colour far better than stitching, and is the more economical choice on tees and hoodies, particularly at higher quantities.As a rough rule: small logo on a structured garment, embroider it; large graphic on a tee, print it. Send us the artwork and the garment and we will tell you which will hold up.

Choosing the garment before the decoration

Apparel is the one category where the product matters more than the print. A logo on a garment nobody wants to wear is money spent on landfill, and the difference between a shirt that gets worn weekly and one that stays in a drawer is fabric and fit, not the size of your logo.

The range covers three broad groups. Polos — Port Authority, Nike Dri-FIT, Sport-Tek, Core 365, TravisMathew — are the workhorse for uniforms, trade stands and golf days. Performance fabrics wick moisture and hold their shape; cotton-blend piqué reads more traditional. T-shirts, mainly Bella+Canvas, are the volume item: the Airlume 3001 is softer and better fitting than a standard heavyweight tee, which is most of why people keep wearing it. Fleece and outerwear — hoodies, quarter-zips, pullovers — cost more per unit but are worn in public far longer than a tee.

Embroidery or screen printing

Embroidery stitches the design into the fabric. It survives repeated washing without fading, reads as the more considered option, and is the standard for polos, caps and outerwear. It suits compact designs — a left-chest logo rather than a full-width graphic — and struggles with fine detail, gradients and very small text, because each element has to be rendered in thread.

Screen printing lays ink onto the fabric. It handles large designs, bold colour and photographic detail far better than stitching, and is more economical on tees and hoodies, particularly at higher quantities. The trade-off is that print sits on the surface and will eventually show wear.

As a rule of thumb: small logo on a structured garment, embroider it. Large graphic on a tee, print it. If your artwork has fine detail or many colours and you want it embroidered, send it over first — we would rather tell you it will not hold than deliver something disappointing.

Sizing, fit and ordering for a group

Sizes are not consistent between manufacturers. A men's medium in one brand is not a men's medium in another, and several ranges here have separate women's cuts rather than unisex sizing. A size chart helps but is not the same as having the garment in your hands.

If you are ordering for a team, ask people for their size in the specific brand where you can, and build in a few spares at the ends of the range rather than ordering exactly to a headcount. For anything customer-facing or expensive, ask us about a sample before you commit to the full run — it costs a fraction of getting 40 garments wrong.

Where apparel fits alongside everything else

Apparel carries a much lower minimum than the giveaway ranges, which makes it viable for a small team or a single event rather than only for bulk campaigns. That also makes it the natural anchor for a mixed order — garments for staff, lower-cost items for attendees.

For those, see our bags and totes, drinkware and promotional pens.

How much does custom apparel cost?

Prices run from $12.35 to $78.00 a garment before decoration, spanning tees through to outerwear. Each product page shows its own quantity price breaks.

Decoration is quoted separately, because what it costs depends on the method and the artwork rather than on the garment.

What is the minimum order quantity?

Twelve pieces across this range, which is far lower than the giveaway items elsewhere in the store. That makes it workable for a team, a small event or a uniform refresh rather than only for bulk campaigns.

The twelve can usually be split across sizes. Tell us the split you need when you get in touch.

Should I choose embroidery or screen printing?

Embroidery stitches the design into the fabric. It reads as the more considered option, survives repeated washing without fading, and is the usual choice for polos, caps and outerwear. It suits compact designs — a chest logo rather than a full-width graphic.

Screen printing lays ink onto the fabric. It handles large designs and bold colour far better than stitching, and is the more economical choice on tees and hoodies, particularly at higher quantities.

As a rough rule: small logo on a structured garment, embroider it; large graphic on a tee, print it. Send us the artwork and the garment and we will tell you which will hold up.

Can I order a size run, and can I see a sample first?

Yes to a size run — the minimum is a total across the order rather than per size, so you can spread it however your team needs.

Sizing is not consistent between manufacturers, and a size chart is not the same as having the garment in your hands. If you are ordering for a group, ask us about a sample before you commit to a full run.

Is there a setup or digitising charge on apparel?

The product cards in this range do not carry one, but apparel decoration is priced per design rather than per garment, and embroidery normally involves a one-time digitising step to turn your logo into stitch data. We would rather quote that against your actual artwork than publish a figure that may not apply to it.

Send us your logo and the garments you are considering and we will confirm the decoration cost before you commit.

How fast can I get my order?

Production runs around 7 days from the point you approve your proof, plus transit time on top. Exact timing varies by product and by how it is decorated.

We do not currently offer a rush service. If you are working to an event date, contact us with your in-hands date before you order and we will tell you honestly whether it is achievable rather than let you find out late.

Will I see a proof before my order is printed?

Yes. We produce a proof on every order before anything goes into production, so you can check your logo, colours and placement before we print. Nothing is manufactured until you approve it.
