Why custom apparel from Arklavo beats the usual options

Real stitched embroidery or print, no minimum, and days not weeks. It is a combination no promo shop, online marketplace, or local embroiderer offers all at once.

Promo shops	Sometimes	Often minimums	Varies
Online marketplaces	Varies by seller	Print only	Varies
Local embroiderer	Yes	Often a minimum	Often weeks

Comparison reflects typical offerings in each category, not any single named company. Many no-minimum options apply only to printing, or set a separate minimum for embroidery. Arklavo decorates a single hoodie with no minimum, by embroidery or print.

What customers say about their custom apparel

The team were blown away by the branded apparel. The embroidery is clean and holds up wash after wash, and reordering was effortless.

Market outlook

The custom apparel market is set to more than double by 2030

The market data lines up with what we see every week. Branded apparel is the biggest category in promotional products, and teams increasingly want real embroidery and print, not stick-on transfers.

Everything to know about custom apparel

Custom apparel is the simplest way to make a team look pulled together. We stock a wide range of tees, polos, hoodies, and sweatshirts from trusted brands, decorate them in our own US shop, and ship fast with no minimum.

Choosing your custom apparel

Start with the pieces your team will actually wear. Tees and polos work year round, hoodies and sweatshirts layer for cooler days, and caps finish the look. You can mix types on one order at no extra cost.

Embroidery or print

Embroidery gives a raised, premium finish that lasts, ideal for polos, caps, and jackets. DTG and DTF printing handle big, colorful, or detailed designs on tees and lighter fabrics. We help you pick per garment.

No minimum, free proof

There is no minimum, so you can order a single piece to check the color, fit, and decoration before you kit out the whole team. Every order gets a free digital proof first.

Branded apparel suits company teams, trades and outdoor crews, gyms and sports clubs, restaurants and cafes, schools, nonprofits, and events. Whatever you run, there is a piece that fits.

Apparel sizing and fit

Our apparel comes in real garment sizes, not one size fits all. Unisex ranges typically run XS to 5XL, with the exact range set by each style. Youth and slim fits are available on many pieces.

Unisex XS to 5XL

Most styles run unisex XS to 5XL, though the top of the range varies by brand. A standard fit lands true to size. If your crew wants a relaxed or layering fit over a shirt or polo, size up one. We can sort a full size run on your order, and youth sizes are available on some styles. Ask on your quote.

Fit by cut

Tees and polos wear close to a standard fit, while hoodies and sweatshirts sit a touch fuller for layering. Every product page lists its exact size range and a size guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a minimum order for hospitality & retail?

No minimum applies to this hospitality and retail uniform range. Order a single embroidered polo or chef coat to test your design, or outfit a full front-of-house and back-of-house team at once, and the same process and quality carries through either way. Larger qualifying orders may unlock volume pricing, but that is the only thing that changes with order size.

What does it cost to get started with hospitality & retail?

There are no setup, digitizing, or artwork fees anywhere in this range. Upload your logo and Arklavo prepares it for embroidery or DTG printing at no charge, then sends a free digital proof for your sign-off before production starts. Nothing else gets added between that quote and the finished order.

What types of apparel are available for hospitality & retail?

This range covers t-shirts, polo shirts, sweatshirts, pullover and zip hoodies, and a button-down option, built on brands including Gildan, Bella + Canvas, Under Armour, adidas, Champion, and Cotton Heritage, priced from $5.99 to $81.00. Most styles come in matching men's and women's cuts, which suits restaurant and retail teams that need a consistent look across the floor.

Which print method works best for hospitality & retail that get washed regularly?

Embroidery and DTG printing both work well across this hospitality and retail range. Embroidery holds up best on daily-wear pieces like polos and button-downs, since a stitched logo keeps its shape through repeated commercial washing, while DTG printing carries full-color designs and fine detail on the printed t-shirts and sweatshirts in this collection. Either method suits the wash frequency common in restaurant and retail settings.

How does the ordering process work for hospitality & retail?

Pick a piece from this range and select Start Designing to build it in the customizer, or send your logo along with a quote request instead. Arklavo prepares the artwork for embroidery or DTG printing and returns a free digital proof for your approval, and production begins only once you sign off. The same process applies whether you are ordering one polo for a manager or a full uniform set for kitchen and front-of-house staff.

Which roles typically get hospitality & retail?

Restaurants, cafes, hotels, and retail stores make up most of the orders on this range, usually for servers, hosts, baristas, kitchen staff, and sales floor teams who need a consistent branded look. Managers and shift leads often get a distinct piece, like an embroidered button-down or polo, to stand apart from the rest of the team. Any business that wants staff to look uniform on the floor or behind the counter fits the same range.

How long do hospitality & retail last with regular washing?

Wash these pieces in cold water and skip the bleach, since heat and harsh detergent are what shorten a uniform's life fastest in daily food service or retail use. Embroidered logos hold their shape best when the garment is turned inside out for the wash, and DTG prints last longest when you avoid high heat and direct ironing over the design. With normal commercial laundering, both decoration methods hold up through a full season of regular wear.
