Custom apparel for businesses shouldn’t feel like the box of stiff shirts with a logo that no one wants to wear.
Investing in the right apparel can keep your employees looking consistent, give customers something they enjoy wearing, and make event or promotional gear feel more inspired.
Our team at The Sublimation House offers screen printing, embroidery, and cut-and-sew sublimation in Las Vegas. We’re a family-owned business and focus on quality, domestic production that can be shipped nationwide.
Best Custom Apparel for Businesses
The best option for custom apparel for your business depends on how it’s used. Some of the apparel we create includes:
- Polos and embroidered jackets for staff uniforms
- T-shirts and hoodies for events, giveaways, or branded merchandise
- Hats and bags for accessories
- Jerseys or performance pieces for teams and active businesses
When you’re brainstorming your custom apparel, think about who will wear it, how often it will be washed, and whether or not you want it to look casual or more polished. It also matters whether or not you want outdoor or indoor apparel, because the material matters. If you’re thinking about outdoor T-shirts, you probably want moisture-wicking fabric, but in-house employee wear might include a heavier polo. The material you choose will also impact the design.
What Is the Best Printing Method for Custom Shirts?
When it comes to custom apparel for businesses, there are usually three options that will work best:
Screen Printing
Screen printing is a good option for businesses with larger orders of shirts, hoodies, and other everyday apparel.
It also handles bold logos and designs well, even through repeated washes.
Embroidery
We usually recommend embroidery for polos, jackets, hats, bags, and company uniforms that need logos or smaller designs. When done correctly, embroidery adds texture and a more structured, professional look.
Cut-and-Sew Sublimation
If you want designs that cover most of your garment, cut-and-sew sublimation works well for jerseys, athletic wear, streetwear, and branded apparel. Unlike screen printing, the design is printed into the fabric before the garment is cut and sewn. If you’re not sure which custom apparel print technique works best for you, our team at The Sublimation House helps you decide which method makes sense for your actual garment and order size.
How Does the Custom Apparel Ordering Process Work?
If you’re new to placing custom apparel for businesses, the process is straightforward:
- Submit an inquiry
- Choose apparel and decoration method
- Provide or create artwork
- Approve setup
- Production
- Quality check
- Shipping or Las Vegas pickup
Screen-printed, embroidered, and sublimated orders all have different production steps, which can impact timelines. We keep you updated on timing and what to expect from your order. Whether you need a few dozen pieces now or hundreds later, we can handle both without cutting corners on quality.
Custom Apparel FAQs
1. How much does custom business apparel cost?
The cost of custom business apparel will depend on the garment, quantity, printing method, number of design locations, and complexity of the artwork. Larger orders will also have different per-piece pricing than smaller runs.
2. What is the best printing method for company shirts?
Screen printing is usually a good fit for larger orders of T-shirts and hoodies, while embroidery is better for polos, jackets, hats, and uniforms. Cut-and-sew sublimation is a good option for full-color, all-over designs and performance apparel.
3. What is the minimum order for custom apparel?
Minimum custom apparel order quantities will depend on the product and decoration method. Some of our orders have a 24-piece minimum, so check the specific garment before planning your order.
4. How long does custom apparel take to make?
The turnaround time for custom apparel will depend on the size of the order, apparel type, printing method, artwork setup, and production schedule. Let us know if you have an event or launch date and the deadline when you request a quote. We’ll talk through your options to meet your deadline with the quantity and quality you want.
5. Can I use my own logo on custom apparel?
Yes, you can provide your existing logo or artwork for screen printing, embroidery, or sublimation. Our team at The Sublimation House can also help with design setup. Supplying a clean, high-resolution file usually makes the setup process easier, but we’ll make sure you get what you need for a successful order.
