Product Details

Getting printed t-shirts for bulk team orders means you're not locked into a large bulk run before testing the product on your actual team. Built on 180 gsm (5.3 oz) fabric , construction quality that holds through regular commercial use. Available in 20+ shades are available, with sizes XS, Small, Medium, Large, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, across the range. The crewneck cut works across most team environments , formal enough for customer-facing roles, practical enough for active work.

The side-seamed construction prevents the center twist that cheaper tube-body tees develop after a few wash cycles. That detail becomes obvious when your team wears matching shirts at events or in front of customers. Taped neck and shoulders add structural strength, and the tear-away label means you can add your own brand tag if rebranding matters to the business. Arklavo handles the artwork setup at no extra charge. Upload your file in any standard format and production starts from there. Placement options: Blank item, Front, Back.

To compare other weights, brands, and styles, compare tee weights and brands.

Restaurant and café teams, office teams and corporate clients, and gym staff and fitness instructors order this tee because the clean crewneck cut works for customer-facing environments without the formality of a polo, and the construction holds up through the commercial washing cycles that team uniform pieces go through. Arklavo doesn't require a minimum order quantity. Order one unit to check the product before committing, or place the full team order right away. Production starts within 24 hours of design approval and most orders go out in 3 business days. Build out the uniform with matching hoodies. The extended sizing options mean you can cover the full team in a single order without separate sourcing for larger sizes. The production and quality standards apply whether you're ordering one unit or a hundred.

Sizing a whole team

Sizing a whole team

This tee runs XS to 5XL, one of the widest ranges available, so almost every team member will find a size that fits in the same order without a special request.

There is no minimum order, so you can outfit one employee or fifty in the same run without hitting a piece-count wall.

Making your logo look its best
