Frequently Asked Questions

Search "wholesale custom t shirts with logo" and most results still assume you are buying a case of blanks to print yourself or sending a bulk order to a local shop. There is a simpler version of that same goal, which is a low, predictable per-shirt price without committing to a case quantity or storing extra stock. Here is how that works and which tee fits which use case.

What "Wholesale" Usually Means for Logo T-Shirts

In the traditional model, wholesale pricing kicks in once you commit to a case-size quantity, often 24 to 72 pieces, paid upfront before printing starts. The lower per-unit price only shows up at that volume, and the sizes are locked in before you know exactly who needs which one.

The Single-Piece Alternative to Wholesale Minimums

Factor	Traditional wholesale	Single-piece model
Minimum quantity	24 to 72 pieces	1 piece
Upfront cost	Full case paid before printing	Pay per piece as ordered
Risk of overstock	High if sizes or demand miss	None, nothing is pre-produced
Reorder speed	Wait for the next case run	Order the same day

Who Searches This: Restaurants, Retail, and Small Teams

Restaurants ordering staff shirts, small retail shops printing a run for a sale event, and growing teams that outgrow the founder's closet of extras all land on this same search for the same reason: they want the per-unit cost of a bulk order without the case-size commitment or the upfront cash. The single-piece model answers that directly, since the per-shirt price is already at its lowest point on the VIP plan regardless of order size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to order a case of shirts to get a good price?

No. The listed VIP base price is already the lowest tier, whether you order one shirt or a hundred.

Can I reorder just a few more shirts when I run low?

Yes. Reorders work exactly like the first order, with no minimum quantity required.

Is there a volume discount available?

No separate volume discount exists. The base price is fixed and you set your own retail margin on top of it.

How fast does a reorder ship compared to the first order?

About a week either way, since nothing is held back for a batch print run.
