Ordering t-shirts for a company is not hard, but it has more steps than buying one for yourself. Most delays come from a missing size list or a logo file that will not print. Here is the order of things, and what to have ready at each step.
Step 1: Count heads and collect sizes
Start with a list, not a guess. Ask each person for their size rather than ordering a spread of mediums and larges, because a shirt that does not fit is a shirt that is not worn.
- We make nine adult sizes, XS to 5XL, so nobody is left out.
- Share a size chart with chest and length so people can measure a t-shirt they already own.
- If the order goes to several offices, send one list per office: name, size and office. It makes packing and delivery far simpler.
Add a few spare pieces in the most common sizes for new joiners and late replies.
Step 2: Gather your logo files
The file you send decides how sharp the result is.
- Best: a vector file. AI, EPS, PDF or SVG. It prints sharp at any size.
- Next best: a PNG at 300 DPI at the printed size, with a transparent background. A chest logo about 9 cm wide needs an image at least 1,100 pixels across.
- Only a small logo? Send it anyway. We will tell you what is possible and redraw it if it needs it.
Send your brand colours as Pantone or hex values if you have them. More detail is in how to prepare your logo.
Step 3: Choose the garment and colour
Decide what people will actually wear. A 240 GSM combed cotton tee is the everyday choice; a polo is smarter for client-facing teams. Core colours start from one piece. A body dyed to your exact Pantone is dyed to order, with a minimum of about one roll of cloth, roughly 75 tees or 50 polos. See core, extended and Pantone colours.
Step 4: Pick the method
- Screen printing: one or two flat colours on a larger run.
- DTF or DTG: full colour, gradients or photographs, and smaller runs.
- Embroidery: a small logo that should look premium and last; the standard for polos.
You do not have to decide alone. We recommend a method with the quote and explain why. Embroidery or print covers the choice in more depth.
Step 5: Approve the mockup
Before anything is made, you get a mockup: your logo on the garment, in position, at size, in the chosen colours. Check it carefully:
- Is the logo the right size and in the right place?
- Are the colours right?
- Is every word spelt correctly?
Nothing goes into production until you approve it. Changes at this stage cost nothing; changes after cutting cost time.
Step 6: Order a sample first, if you want one
If you want to hold the real thing before committing the whole order, order a sample. One piece is a real order on most of the range, made the same way as the full run. It is the surest way to check the cloth, the fit and the print with the people who will sign off.
Step 7: Production and dispatch
Once the mockup is approved, the order goes into production in our own factory in India. Dispatch is 4 to 30 days from approval, depending on the order: the garment, the method, the colour and the quantity. A core colour tee with a one-position print sits at the shorter end; a Pantone-dyed body or a large embroidered run takes longer.
If you have an event date, tell us at the start. The quote is planned around it before you commit.
Step 8: Delivery and invoice
- One address or many. We deliver to a single office, or pack, label and ship to every office or home address on your list, anywhere in India.
- GST invoice. Send your company's GSTIN with the order and the invoice is raised against it, so your finance team can claim the input credit.
A short checklist
Before you send the enquiry, have ready:
- The size list, one per office if there is more than one.
- Your logo as a vector file, or a 300 DPI PNG with a transparent background.
- The garment, colour and print positions you want.
- The date the shirts are needed by.
- Delivery addresses and your GSTIN.
With those in one message, the quote, the mockup and the timeline come back together, and the order moves without back and forth.
