Custom Gildan Apparel From Budget Tees to Zip Hoodies

Custom Gildan apparel here runs 45 styles deep: lightweight, heavyweight, and ringspun tees, long sleeves, tank tops, crewneck sweatshirts, and pullover, zip, and fleece hoodies. Cuts cover men, women, boys, girls, and toddlers, and most styles carry no minimum, so a five-person shop and a hundred-person event can order from the same rack.

Heavyweight Cotton Builds for Daily Wear

Gildan's heavyweight cotton tees at $9.99 and heavyweight zip hoodies at $29.99 printed, or $52 embroidered, are the pieces crews reach for when apparel gets worn every day. Lightweight cotton tees from $5.99 handle giveaways and one-day events, while ringspun crewneck sweatshirts at $25.99 sit in the middle for everyday staff wear. Every style is a Gildan blank, so re-orders match what you bought last time.

Print or Embroidery Across 45 Adult and Kids' Styles

Direct-to-garment printing covers 25 of the styles here and suits multi-color logos and photo-detail artwork, while 20 embroidered options put a stitched finish on tees, sweatshirts, and hoodies. Kids', toddler, and adult cuts share the same blank family, so a school, daycare, or family-run business can put one design across every age group without juggling two suppliers.

Proof Approved, Then a Fast Two-Day Build

Approve your free digital proof and production wraps within two days. From there, standard shipping runs 3 to 5 days, and when a deadline will not move, rush order and express shipping options are on the table. Plan roughly a week door to door for a typical Gildan order, whether it is a single embroidered hoodie sample or matching crewnecks for the whole staff.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Gildan do custom shirts?

Gildan makes the blank shirts; Arklavo adds your logo. We print and embroider Gildan tees, sweatshirts, and hoodies with no minimum order, a free digital proof before production, and dispatch in about 2 days.

What are gildan custom shirts and why do businesses choose them?

Gildan custom shirts are Gildan heavyweight tees, sweatshirts, and fleece hoodies decorated with your logo by Arklavo using embroidery, DTG, or heat press. Businesses choose them because Gildan is the most-ordered garment brand in the US, offering consistent sizing, durable heavyweight cotton, and a low per-piece cost that makes large event and team runs very affordable without sacrificing decoration quality.

Which Gildan styles does Arklavo decorate?

We work with the full Gildan lineup, including the Gildan 6000 and 5000 heavyweight tees, Gildan fleece pullover and zip-up hoodies, and Gildan crewneck sweatshirts. If you have a specific Gildan style number in mind, include it on your quote request and we will confirm availability, color options, and the best decoration method for that fabric weight.

What decoration methods are available on Gildan garments?

We offer three methods on Gildan garments: embroidery for a raised, stitched finish that holds up through hard washing; DTG print for full-color designs with fine detail directly on the fabric; and heat press transfer for flat, vibrant prints ideal for large graphics. We recommend embroidery for staff uniforms and long-term team wear, and DTG or heat press for detailed artwork and event shirts.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

No. You can order a single shirt to check the fit, color, and decoration quality before committing to a larger run. There is no minimum on any order, and there are no setup fees or digitizing fees on top of the per-shirt price. Bulk discounts apply automatically at 10, 24, 50, 100, and 250 shirts, so the price per piece drops as your quantity grows.

How long does it take to get my custom shirts?

Production takes two days once you approve your digital proof, and shipping takes 3 to 5 days after that. Rush order and express shipping are available if you are working against a hard date, so include your deadline on the quote request and we will confirm it before you order.

Do I get to see the design before my shirts are made?

Yes. Every order includes a free digital proof before any decoration begins. We send the proof to you for sign-off, showing the exact placement, size, and color of your logo on the shirt. No shirt is made until you approve it. There is no charge for the proof, and revisions to the proof are included.

How does bulk pricing work and when do discounts apply?

Discounts apply automatically based on the total quantity in your order: 5% off at 10 shirts, 10% off at 24, 15% off at 50, 20% off at 100, and 25% off at 250 or more. You do not need a code. The discount applies across mixed sizes and colors in a single order. Use FIRST15 for 15% off your very first order at any quantity.

What file format should I send for my logo?

The cleanest results come from a vector file, such as AI, EPS, or SVG, because it scales without losing quality. A high-resolution PNG or JPEG at 300 DPI or above works well too. If your logo only exists in a low-resolution format, our team will assess it and let you know what is possible. We handle all digitizing and art prep in house at no extra charge.

Can I order different sizes in the same order?

Yes. You can mix any combination of sizes in a single order, and the bulk discount is calculated on the total quantity, not on individual sizes. Most Gildan tee styles are available in unisex XS to 5XL. Sweatshirt and hoodie ranges vary by style. Tell us your size split on the quote and we will confirm availability and price the full run for you.

Is shipping free?

Yes, US shipping is free on all orders over $150. Orders under $150 ship at a standard flat rate. All orders ship with tracking so you can monitor delivery. We ship to the continental US, Alaska, and Hawaii. For large bulk shipments, contact us for freight options and pricing via the quote form.

Can I reorder the same design later?

Yes. Once your logo and artwork are on file, reorders are straightforward. We keep your approved stitch file or print-ready art, so you skip the proof stage and go straight to production on a reorder. Just let us know the style, sizes, and quantity and we will turn it around. Reorder pricing follows the same tiered structure as your original order.

How do I get a price for my order?

The fastest way is to use our online customizer to build your order and see a live price, or you can submit a quote request with your logo, shirt style, quantity, and size split. We reply with a full itemized quote including decoration, any applicable bulk discount, and shipping. There is no obligation and the quote is free. Use FIRST15 at checkout for 15% off your first order.
