Custom apparel

Chapter orders, staff uniforms, conference tees, anniversary merchandise. Here is how the work runs and what we need from you, before you spend an hour on the phone finding out.

From custom merchandise and embroidery to conference swag bags and screen printing, we bring your brand to life.

Standard fit

unisex sizes 12 and higher

Regular fit

sizes 0 to 12

Returns

7 days from receipt

Print it, or stitch it.

Screen printing

Ink pushed through a stencil, one screen per colour. It lays flat and bright on cotton and cotton blends, and it is the right answer for a bold chapter logo, a line of text, or anything a whole group is wearing at once. Fewer colours in the art means fewer screens.

Usually goes on

Tees, hoodies, crews, tote bags

Embroidery

The design stitched into the garment with thread rather than printed on it. It reads as the more formal of the two, it survives washing indefinitely, and it is what you want on anything with a collar or a structured front.

Usually goes on

Polos, caps, jackets, bags, staff shirts

Two size runs, and they do not mean the same thing.

Standard

Similar to unisex sizes 12 and higher.

Regular

Accommodates sizes 0 to 12.

Order one size smaller in the standard size tee if you want it fitted. The unisex shirts are true to size. Our shirts are cut to follow the body rather than hang square.

What to send, and why it matters.

Send vector art
Provide a vector file (.ai, .eps or a vector .pdf). If your logo was designed for you, the designer can provide you with the vector file.
If you only have a picture of it, send the biggest one
A photo of a shirt or a screenshot off a website is usually too small to print from. The largest original file you can find is always better than a clean-looking small one.
Tell us where it goes and how big
Left chest, full front, full back, sleeve, and roughly how wide you want it. Placement changes the art more often than people expect.
Count your colours
For screen printing, each colour in the design is its own screen. Knowing the count early is the difference between a quote that holds and a quote that moves.

For conferences and events.

We do offer group pricing on volume. The number depends on the piece, the method and the count, so we quote it rather than post it.

Swag bags

The bag and what goes in it, assembled and counted so a registration desk can hand them out without sorting first.

Custom accessories

Lanyards, badge holders, drinkware, notebooks: the small things attendees actually keep and carry home.

Branded keepsakes

The one item people photograph. Anniversary pieces, conclave merchandise, recognition gifts.

Order fulfillment

One order, many destinations. Chapters, committees and regional groups counted and shipped separately.

Not sure which method, or which garment?

Tell us the occasion, the headcount and the date. That is enough for us to come back with a direction, and the whole catalog is open if you would rather browse first.
