Our T-shirt minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per style, and you can mix sizes within those 100. A sample in your chosen style and fabric comes before bulk production, and the quotation sets out the price, sample terms, lead time and shipping for your exact order.
This post explains how the minimum works in practice, what the sample stage is for, and what to put in your enquiry so the quotation matches what you actually want to buy.
How the 100-piece minimum works
The minimum applies per style. Our four T-shirt styles are regular fit, oversized, heavyweight and long sleeve, so an order of 100 regular fit tees meets the minimum, and so does an order of 100 oversized tees. An order of 50 regular and 50 oversized does not, because each style counts on its own.
Within a style, sizes can be mixed freely across S to 3XL. You do not need equal numbers of each size. A first order weighted towards M and L is common and perfectly workable.
Colours are a little different. You can order more than one colour in a style, but the colour split is confirmed in your quotation, because it depends on the fabric and colours you choose. If you want three colours inside one 100-piece order, ask and we will tell you what is possible for that fabric.
Examples
| Order | Meets the minimum? |
|---|---|
| 100 regular fit, white, sizes S to 2XL mixed | Yes |
| 120 oversized, 60 black and 60 off-white | Yes, colour split confirmed at quotation |
| 60 heavyweight and 40 long sleeve | No, each style needs 100 |
| 200 regular fit across four colours | Possible, split confirmed at quotation |
What the sample is for
A sample is a T-shirt cut and sewn in your chosen style and fabric, with your branding where possible, so you can check fit, feel and finish before committing to bulk. Sample terms are confirmed in your quotation.
Use the sample properly. Put it on people who match your buyer. Wash it the way your customers will. If you print in-house, run a test print. Check the neck label or neck print, the side seams and the hem. Once you approve the sample, bulk production follows it, so anything you want changed should be raised now.
What to send for a quote
The more complete your enquiry, the fewer rounds of questions before we can price it. A useful enquiry covers:
- Style. Regular fit, oversized, heavyweight or long sleeve.
- Fabric. Cotton single jersey or cotton-polyester, or ask us to suggest one.
- Colours. Name them, or send a reference photo or swatch.
- Quantity per size. For example, S 15, M 30, L 30, XL 20, 2XL 5.
- Branding. Neck label or inside-neck print, wash-care label, hang tag, and any print or embroidery with its position and size.
- Artwork. Logo files, or a reference photo if artwork is not ready yet.
- Packing. Folding, polybags, barcodes or stickers, especially if you sell online.
- Destination country. Labelling requirements vary by country, and shipping depends on where the order is going.
If you are not sure about one of these, say so. Leaving a gap is better than guessing, and we can suggest options at quotation.
Why each detail matters
Fabric and quantity set the base of the price. Branding adds to it: a printed inside-neck label, a woven neck label and a full back print each change the work involved. Packing matters because folding, polybagging and barcoding are separate steps. The destination country decides which labelling information is needed and how the order ships. A quote built on vague details has to be revised later, which slows everything down.
What the quotation covers
Prices are quoted per style, by fabric, quantity and branding. The quotation also confirms the colour split, sample terms, lead time, and the shipping method, terms and documents for your destination. We take enquiries from buyers worldwide.
From approval to dispatch
After you accept the quotation and approve the sample, the order moves through a fixed sequence:
- an advance payment to start production;
- production to the approved sample;
- our quality check on the finished pieces;
- packing to your specification;
- the balance payment before dispatch;
- dispatch to your address or forwarder.
Our minimum order and samples page covers the same rules across every product we make, which helps if you plan to add hoodies or polos later.
Common questions at this stage
Can I order fewer than 100 to test? The minimum is 100 per style. The sample is the way to test before that.
Can I reorder a single size? Reorders follow the same per-style minimum, with sizes mixed as you need.
Can I send my own design? That is private label, which we take case by case once we have seen the design. White label means choosing from our existing styles.
