## Minimums and pricing

- Custom apparel starts at six pieces per style.
  - A single piece or small test run can be arranged before full production. Contract embroidery’s 50–5,000+ volume example describes capacity rather than a fixed order minimum.
- Package totals include selected blanks, print or embroidery, setup and Canada shipping.
  - Starter packages begin at $250, Growth at $750 and Enterprise at $1,500. Confirm package quantity, currency, tax and the chosen garment and decoration. These are bundle totals rather than unit garment prices.
- Contract embroidery rates depend on annual volume, stitch count and garment quantity.
  - Contract clients receive discounted rates and priority scheduling. Request a complete quote for the selected blanks, stitch count, quantity and placements.

## Samples and lead times

- Request a single printed piece or a small test run before full production.
  - Agree its price, garment, print method and sample lead time. Digital proof/mockup approval is a separate step before production.
- Standard production is estimated at 5–10 business days after final-proof approval.
  - Contract embroidery has a standard estimate of 5–7 business days. Send-in blanks are embroidered and returned in 5–7 business days, including the return stage. Rush service depends on availability. Ask what starts the contract production clock.
- A separate get-your-order estimate is 8–10 business days after approval.
  - Canada standard delivery is estimated at 2–5 business days after shipping. Ask which production estimate applies and whether express shipping changes the production schedule.

## Artwork and print areas

- Send vector artwork where possible, or high-resolution raster files.
  - Preferred formats are AI, EPS, SVG or high-resolution portable document format. PNG and JPG are accepted at 300 DPI; raster artwork should be 300 DPI or higher. Use CMYK rather than RGB and a transparent background. Request exact Pantone matching with the artwork. Some redraws have a fee.
- For contract embroidery, send the logo, size/colour breakdown and placement details.
  - Vector AI, EPS or SVG files are requested, plus stitch count if already digitized and garment information. Agree the placement dimensions before production.

## Branding and packaging

- Garments are folded, bagged and boxed with a packing slip and shipping label.
  - Items are hand-inspected during the workflow. Ask separately about sewn labels, inserts and branded or neutral packaging.

## Shipping and fulfillment

- Online orders include free standard Canada shipping with no minimum order value.
  - Standard delivery is estimated at 2–5 business days, with tracking once shipped. Priority express within Canada, including same-day or next-day options, is arranged separately. International rates are calculated at checkout or by request; monitor customs updates.
- Contract embroidery includes blind dropshipping.
  - Agree destinations, per-recipient packing, carrier charges, order transfer and delivery terms. These services are separate from the standard production window.

## Where they produce

- The workflow covers in-house decoration, digitizing, quality checks and packing.
  - Contract digitizing, embroidery, QC and blind dropshipping are handled under one roof. Confirm the production facility and dispatch origin for your order.

## Worth knowing

- Standard production is estimated at 5–10 business days after final-proof approval; contract embroidery has a separate 5–7-business-day estimate, and getting an order has an 8–10-business-day estimate after approval. Send-in embroidery and return share a 5–7-business-day estimate. Agree the applicable stages and triggers.
- Custom apparel starts at six pieces per style, while a single piece or small test run can be arranged before full production.

## Ask before ordering

- Which method, garment and quantity does the complete quote cover?
- What are the sample price and schedule before the main run?
- Which production, return and transit estimates apply to this order?
- What blind-dropshipping destinations, fees and order-transfer options are available?
