For a bulk shirt order, send a breakdown of the garments and designs along with the total. That lets us check which pieces can share a print setup and which need a separate review.
A restaurant ordering staff shirts, a club collecting sizes, and a business preparing event merch may all need a large run. The useful starting details are the same: who needs what, which artwork goes on it, and who can approve the final order.
Give each design group its own count
Our screen printing minimum is 36 pieces per design. Sizes can be split within a design group. Different artwork, print sizes, ink colors or placements can change the setup, so keep those differences visible in your list.
Here is an example of a 96-piece request. These are made-up quantities to show how to organize the information, not a recommended size mix or a price quote.
Group | Garment and artwork | Size breakdown | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
A: staff | Navy tees, one company-logo design on the front | 12 S, 20 M, 24 L, 16 XL | 72 |
B: event | Gray tees, a different event design | 4 S, 6 M, 8 L, 6 XL | 24 |
The total is 96, but Group B has only 24 pieces of its design. We need to review that group separately. DTF printing applied to apparel may be an option for a smaller group, depending on the artwork and garments.
If you want tees, tanks or hoodies in the same order, include each style. We will confirm whether the chosen items can use the same print details. The logo alone does not tell us everything about the setup.

Keep one size list and one final approver
Choose one person to maintain the order list. Department emails and group messages can help collect requests, but the approved quantities should end up in one place.
Use a separate row for each garment style, color, size and design group.
Ask people to check the size chart for the chosen style before the list is finalized.
Keep any spare garments on their own rows so you can see what is for immediate use and what is extra.
Label the final version and send later changes through the same contact.
That person should also know who approves the artwork and who approves payment. If those are different people, include both in the plan before you need the finished shirts.
Send the print details with the roster
Attach the artwork for each group and tell us where it goes: front, back, sleeve, or another requested placement. Include the desired print size if you have one, plus any changes in ink color between garments. We will review what works on the items you choose.
If two files look similar, name the version you want us to use. A short note such as “Group A uses the approved white logo; Group B uses the event artwork attached” is more useful than several unlabeled attachments.
To compare quantities, ask for the same garment and print details at each count. Compare the total spend and the pieces you need. A lower unit price does not automatically make extra unused shirts worthwhile.
Build the schedule around approval and payment
Standard screen printing production is 10–14 business days after mockup approval and payment. Collecting sizes, choosing garments and revising artwork happen before that production window. Pickup, delivery or shipping also needs to be arranged around your in-hand date.
Before the quote: collect the groups, sizes, artwork and required date.
During review: confirm garment availability, print details, quantities and the full quote.
Before production: have the final approver check the mockup and complete payment.
For handoff: confirm the destination and agreed pickup, delivery or shipping arrangement.
If you need a shorter schedule, ask us to confirm availability, the completion date and any rush fee before relying on it. Pickup is by arrangement; we do not have a walk-in storefront. We offer free delivery in St. Pete, and confirm other fulfillment options and costs with your quote.
Send your bulk-order breakdown for a quote. Include the quantity you actually need, even if one design group is small. We will help review the method and order details before you commit.
