What to Prepare for a Custom Apparel Order

Ordering custom shirts or hoodies for your company shouldn't be stressful. Preparing a few key details in advance ensures your project moves quickly from quote to proof approval and production.

1. High-Resolution or Vector Artwork

Vector files (.ai, .eps, or print-ready .pdf) are ideal because they can be scaled infinitely without losing sharpness. If you only have a PNG or JPEG, ensure it is high resolution (300 DPI) on a transparent background.

2. Garment Purpose & Fabric Selection

Consider how the shirts will be worn:

• Daily staff uniform: 50/50 blend or ringspun cotton with reinforced seams.
• Outdoor trades & active crew: Moisture-wicking polyester or heavy fleece hoodies.
• Customer giveaways: Super-soft lightweight 100% combed cotton for high comfort.

3. Size Breakdown Estimates

Adult Medium, Large, and XL typically represent the highest percentage of orders. A common general distribution is 15% Medium, 40% Large, 35% XL, and 10% 2XL, but we can customize to your crew's exact requirements.
