Why Custom Apparel Pricing Doesn't Work Like a Bulk QuoteMost problems with a group order trace back to one of six things: the artwork file, the design itself, the size run, the color pairing, the budget, or the calendar. Each of these covers one of them properly.
Before you design
- Preparing Artwork Files for Printing — PNG, JPG, or SVG, why a JPG puts a white box behind your logo on a colored shirt, and what to do when the only copy of your logo is on an old shirt.
- What Makes a Group Shirt Design Readable — A shirt is read from across a gym, not at arm's length. Most designs fail on that alone.
Choosing the garment

- Custom Apparel Color Guide — Picking a shirt color your ink will actually read against.
- Hoodie vs. T-Shirt for Group Orders — Season, budget, and how long people keep wearing each.
- Custom Apparel Pricing Explained — Why the price is flat per garment instead of dropping at quantity.
