How big is the bulk order discount for t-shirts?

The bulk discount depends on the specific t-shirt and the amount you order. To find the bulk discount for each custom t-shirt and product count, click Buying in bulk? on the specific product page.

How do I design t-shirts for my employees?

Pick a shirt model and add your design—for corporate shirts, we suggest using your company logo or slogan . Since you can use multiple designs per bulk order , feel free to add your employees’ initials or names for a personalized touch. After that, place your bulk order.

How many shirts count as a bulk order?

Orders with at least 4 items of the same product qualify for a bulk discount (minimum bulk amount differs per product). You can mix product colors, designs, and sizes.

What are bulk orders good for?

Bulk orders are great when you’re preparing for special events, like team sports, conferences, family reunions, team building events, fundraising, and others. You can also bulk-order t-shirts in advance for giveaways, employee welcome gifts, and other freebies.

Can I order t-shirts in bulk and still have Printful fulfill orders containing them?

Yes, this is possible by using our Warehousing & Fulfillment services. Finish the setup steps in this guide and we’ll store your custom t-shirts and fulfill orders with them.

You can add as many different products and designs as you like, and you’ll save up to $6.50 (€5.75) on each item. Plus, you’ll be able to reuse the same designs as much as you like at no extra cost.

Printful’s bulk ordering process was seamless, timely, and professional. I needed a batch of hats printed and delivered for an upcoming pop-up shop with a tight deadline. The order came on time and every hat was printed exactly how I had ordered it. I’ll definitely be placing more bulk orders from here on out!
