Starting a Clothing Brand FAQ’s

It’s great to hear you’re looking to take the first steps into the world of running a fashion business. It’s an exciting time, so you likely have a lot of questions. We’ve worked with a lot of people in your position before, so we’ve answered some of the frequently asked questions below.

I’m looking for Print on demand/dropshipping 

We get many requests from customers looking for a print-on-demand service, but they often find that the restrictions that come with such a setup are too much and restrict their creativity. That’s why we created our clothing dropshipping fulfilment service. It offers greater flexibility, faster turnaround times, and the benefits of economies of scale. You can read more about this service here. If it sounds like a good fit, fill out the form at the bottom of that page for our guide which covers the options available and pricing.

 

Integration with Shopify or other platforms

We don’t have a Shopify plugin, however, if our fulfilment service covered above sounds like a good fit, we can work with you to find the best way to integrate with your store whether that’s Shopify or another platform.

 

What are your MOQs?

We have no minimum order quantity if ordering via our online shop. Our online shop is the best way to make your order if it’s less than 25 products per style. If you’re ordering more than 25 products per style, just let us know and we’ll be able to put a quote together for you.

 

Do you offer print and embroidery? 

Yes, we do. Whether ordering online or placing a larger bulk order via email, you can order your products blank or customised with print or embroidery.

 

What are the lead times for the different decoration methods? 

You can find out more information in regard to our lead times here – https://support.amcustomclothing.co.uk/index.php/knowledge-base/what-are-the-lead-times/

 

What garments do you recommend? 

This really depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re wanting the cheapest option, our recommendation may differ compared to if you were looking for something organic and heavyweight. Let us know what is important to you and we’ll be able to give you some suggestions.

 

What are the max print sizes? 

Our maximum print size is 30cm x 40cm if ordering online. If placing a larger bulk order we can in some instances print larger than this. The maximum print size on most women’s garments is 250x300mm so please scale all artwork smaller if printing onto women’s garments & men’s. If you require all-over print coverage, let us know as this is something we can offer in some cases.

 

How do I keep costs down? 

In short, less is more. Keep things simple with fewer elements of customisation and your price will be lower. You can find a more detailed answer to this here.

 

How do I get a sample?

Single-unit samples can be purchased via our online shop. We’re not able to offer returns or refunds for samples, however, we can provide £50 of credit for samples against every £500 spent on your bulk order (up to a maximum of £150 of credit). 

You can purchase the product blank or customised with your design. If opting for printing I’d recommend checking over this article here first.

Alternatively, if you’d like to see the quality of our print work without investing in custom samples, you may find our case studies useful to see some of our previous production runs. You’ll find our case studies here

 

Can I have the same design on different colour Tees without affecting the cost?

Due to the nature of printing having a mix of different T-shirt styles or colours will increase the price of the order. For the lowest price, keep the number of variations minimal.

 

Do you offer oversized options for streetwear?

Yes. If you’re looking for oversized streetwear this article here is a great place to start. It includes some of our most popular oversized products, so you don’t have to hunt through our online shop. If you’re after. 

 

Do you offer sportswear?

Yes, we offer a wide range of sportswear products, you’ll find them all here. Our most popular sports T-shirt can be found here.
