Bulk T-Shirt and Clothing Printing

Bulk T-Shirt Printing for Large Orders

When you need hundreds or thousands of printed garments, you need a printer with the capacity to handle the volume and the experience to keep every piece consistent. With over 25 years of experience in garment printing and 8 automatic presses in house, we print t-shirts in bulk for businesses, events and organisations across the UK, along with large runs of hoodies, sweatshirts, polo shirts and workwear.

Every bulk order is looked after by a dedicated Account Manager from the first quote to final delivery, so you have one person to talk to however big the job gets.

Bulk Pricing and Volume Discounts

The more you order, the lower the price per garment. Our bulk pricing is tiered, so each step up in quantity brings the unit cost down further.

The price also depends on the garment, the number of print colours and the number of print positions. Send us your quantity and we will show you how the price changes between tiers. For more ways to save, read our guide on keeping t-shirt printing costs low.

Capacity for Large Runs

Our 8 automatic presses are built for volume, printing every garment with the same pressure, ink deposit and registration from the first piece to the last. In peak season we add extra shifts to keep large orders moving, and every run is planned around your delivery date from the start. Every garment is checked before it is packed, so a 5,000 piece order looks as good at the end as it does at the beginning.

The Best Printing Methods for Bulk Orders

Planning a Bulk Order

• Work out your sizes early. For events, a size spread based on past orders or registration data helps you avoid running short of the most popular sizes.
• Choose the right garment. The garment makes a big difference to cost, feel and how the print looks. Our guide to which t-shirt is best for printing compares the favourites.
• Send your Pantone references. Inks are mixed to match, so your colours stay the same across every garment and every repeat order. Read more about Pantone colours in screen printing.
• Give us your deadline up front. The earlier we know your delivery date, the easier it is to schedule your run across our presses.
• Think about finishing. If you need garments folded, bagged, labelled or tagged before they go out, our garment finishing service can take care of it.

Bulk Hoodies, Polos and Workwear

Bulk orders are not only about t-shirts. We print and embroider hoodies, sweatshirts, polo shirts, workwear and sportswear in large quantities, and a single order can combine several garments. Many customers pair custom t-shirts for an event with hoodies or polos for the staff running it, all printed with the same artwork and colours.

Trade Accounts for Agencies and Resellers

If you buy printed clothing in bulk for your clients, or you are looking for wholesale printed t-shirts to sell on, you can open a trade account through our client registration form. Agencies, merch companies and resellers get a dedicated Account Manager and a consistent finish on every repeat order. See how we work with marketing agencies for more detail.

Who Orders Bulk Printing

Our bulk printing customers range from race organisers ordering event t-shirts for marathons and 10Ks to charities, schools and universities, hospitality groups and marketing agencies running national campaigns. We also print large runs of band merch and workwear for growing teams.

Bulk Printing FAQs

What counts as a bulk order?

We treat orders of 250 pieces or more as bulk, with pricing tiers at 250, 500, 1,000, 2,500 and 5,000+ pieces. Screen printing is available from 20 units, so smaller orders still see the price per garment come down as the quantity grows.

How much does bulk t-shirt printing cost?

The price per garment depends on the quantity, the garment, the number of print colours and the number of print positions, and it drops at each pricing tier from 250 pieces upwards. Send us your quantity and artwork and your Account Manager will come back to you within 15 minutes with a quote.

How long does a bulk order take?

Standard orders take six to seven business days from proof approval. Very large runs are planned around your delivery date, so tell us your deadline when you ask for a quote and we will confirm the timeline before you order.

Can I mix sizes and colours in one order?

Yes. Sizes can be mixed across your order and you can choose more than one garment colour. A design printed on both light and dark garments may need different ink colours, and we will advise on this with your proof.

Can you match my brand colours across a large run?

Yes. Inks are mixed to your Pantone references and every press is set up from the same approved proof, so your colours stay consistent across the whole run and on repeat orders.

Which printing method is cheapest for bulk orders?

Screen printing is usually the most cost effective choice for large quantities, because the screens are made once and the set up is spread across every garment. For full colour designs or orders where the artwork changes, we may recommend DTG or DTF instead.

Can I open a trade account?

Yes. Businesses, agencies and resellers ordering printed clothing in bulk can open a trade account through our client registration form, and a dedicated Account Manager will look after every order.

What artwork do you need?

A vector file (.ai, .eps or vector PDF) is ideal, as it stays sharp at any size across a large run. If all you have is a flat image, send it anyway and we will tell you whether it needs redrawing before printing.
