Side by Side

Old Way vs. Your New Pro Shop Way

Same three problems. Two very different answers.

Old Way

$2K to $5K

Bulk-Order Gamble

Inventory from past orders still in your office
XS, S, XL sit in the bin for months
Pieces go missing. You give the rest away

Your Pro Shop

$0 UPFRONT

No Inventory Ever

Member orders one, we print one
Zero cash tied up. Zero boxes to store
Profit hits your dashboard, not a bin

Old Way

3 WEEKS

To Reorder Anything

24, 36 or 48-piece minimums per color
Charged per color, per placement, per design
Sold out of sizes or colors staff want
Can't say yes without $2K + 3 weeks

Your Pro Shop

~1 WEEK

Door to Door

No minimums. Order 1 or 100, same price
Unlimited colors, designs, placements
Staff pick size and color at checkout
USA printed and shipped free to their door

Old Way

2 WASHES

Until It's Cardboard

Print cracks, shirt stiffens, color fades
Staff stop wearing it
You and your staff reach for plain tees

Your Pro Shop

50+ WASHES

Still Soft

Premium blanks: Bella+Canvas, Champion, Sport-Tek
Soft on day 1, soft after 50 washes
Your staff reach for the school hoodie, not the other brand

Principal & Admin Reviews

Hear from principals and school admins running this today.

Quality, sizing, time. The three things every owner wants to know about, answered by the schooles already running their apparel through us.

Mike R.

School Principal · 50 staff

Q: DO EMBROIDERED STAFF POLOS HOLD UP TO BUS DUTY AND CAFETERIA DUTY ALL YEAR?

"Elementary school principal, 50 staff, morning bus duty and cafeteria duty every day. Embroidered Sport-Tek polos for office and admin, Bella+Canvas tees for grade-level teams. Held the school logo through morning duty, lunch spills and weekly washes. Parents at drop-off now recognize the staff polo from across the parking lot."

Jenna T.

School Office Manager · 80 staff

Q: WHAT IF A NEW HIRE STARTS MID-YEAR AND I NEED A STAFF TEE BEFORE OPEN HOUSE?

"Used to bulk-order opening-week staff tees in mediums and larges and end up with three smalls nobody wanted, nothing in womens cut. Now every new hire and mid-year sub picks her own size and color from the link in the welcome email. Staff tees and polos ship to her door before her first open house. No more iron-on logos on a plain tee at the front desk."

Ryan K.

District HR · 250 staff

Q: I AM PRINCIPAL, RUN PARENT MEETINGS AND COVER BUS DUTY. WHO BUILDS THE SHOP?

"Elementary school principal, plus AP duties, plus all the parent meetings, plus morning bus duty. Done-For-You plan built the entire school staff apparel shop: grade-level team tees, office polos, custodial work shirts, cafeteria staff tees, sub and aide tees, spirit-day hoodies. I send the school logo once a month, they swap collections for opening week, spirit week, in-service day and end-of-year banquet. Staff turnout for spirit Fridays tripled."

Principal & Admin Questions

The questions we get asked most

Can I put our school logo, grade-level teams and custom school staff designs on elementary school staff shirts, hoodies and polos?+

Yes. Every elementary school staff t shirt, polo, hoodie, sweatshirt and embroidered hat supports your school logo, mascot, grade-level team callouts (Kindergarten Team, 4th Grade Team), department names (Specials, Office, Custodial, Cafeteria, Bus, Nurse) and staff names on the front, back, sleeve or chest. Strong elementary school staff shirt designs and elementary school staff shirt ideas for opening week, school spirit days and end-of-year celebrations. Unlimited design elements on one side, no per-color fee.

Do you make medical scrubs, nurse uniforms or curriculum supplies?+

No. Medical scrubs, nurse uniforms and curriculum supplies come from clinical and education-supply vendors. What we do best is the school staff apparel side. Elementary school staff shirts, middle school staff polos, high school staff hoodies, grade-level team tees, embroidered fleece jackets, sub and aide shirts and branded ball caps. The branded gear staff wear in front of students, parents at drop-off and the community at every school event.

Do you have apparel for the whole staff: teachers, principals, office, custodial, cafeteria, nurses, subs and aides?+

Yes. Most apparel runs from XS through adult 3XL across men and women fits, plus tall tees and bigger blanks. Build sections for Teachers, Specials, Office, Admin, Custodial, Cafeteria, Bus Drivers, Nurse, Subs and Aides in one school staff shop. Strong elementary school staff dress code coverage from polos and embroidered fleece for admin to tees and hoodies for spirit-day Fridays.

Can staff order their own school staff shirts and grade-level team tees directly without me running it from the front office?+

That is the whole point. Drop your shop link in the staff Friday email, the school portal, the staff Slack and the school Instagram. Teachers, office staff, custodians, cafeteria staff, bus drivers and subs check out themselves with the size and color. Elementary school staff shirts and grade-level team tees ship to each door free in about a week. The front office never collects cash, counts sizes or hands out tees in the staff lounge again.

Will school staff polos, tees and hoodies hold up to bus duty, cafeteria duty, lunch spills and weekly washes?+

Yes. Embroidered Gildan and Sport-Tek polos, Bella+Canvas and Champion tees and hoodies, embroidered Yupoong and Otto Cap hats. Real workwear-grade fabric, not the thin promo tee from a one-day print job. Staff wear them through morning bus duty, cafeteria duty, recess, lunch spills and weekly washes. Print and embroidery still sharp. Pull a few samples from your dashboard at base price first and feel the difference.

We already use Custom Ink, BSN Sports or Lands' End for school staff shirts. Why switch?+

Three reasons most school staff teams switch within a school year. Shipping: theirs charges $5 to $10 per order, hidden. Ours is free, every order. Fees: theirs charges per color, per placement, per design. Ours is one flat base price, unlimited colors. Permanence: theirs is one-off back-to-school bulk ordering with leftover sizes nobody wanted. Ours is a permanent school staff apparel shop at your URL year-round, ready for new hires, spirit weeks, in-service days and end-of-year banquets.

Do I pay anything when a staff member orders? What about principal polos and front-office gear?+

Zero cost when a staff member orders. They pay the retail price you set, or the school covers staff uniforms at base price (your own profit kicks back since it is your own shop). For principal polos, AP polos, office tees and custodial work shirts, build an Admin section and self-order at base price. Watch every order land in real time on your phone between bus duty and morning announcements.
