The 7 Things You Should Include When Requesting a Custom Work Shirt Quote

Here’s exactly what printers need to provide an accurate quote.

1️⃣ Shirt Style (or Budget Range)

Are you looking for:

• Basic cotton work shirts?

• Performance moisture-wicking polos?

• Heavy-duty long sleeve work shirts?

• Quarter zips or hoodies for colder weather?

If you’re unsure, share:

• Your industry

• Your budget range

• Your preferred fit (relaxed, performance, heavyweight)

At Underground Printing, we help match you with the best garment for durability and budget.

2️⃣ Quantity

Pricing for custom work shirts depends heavily on quantity.

Be specific about:

• Total number of shirts

• Whether this is a one-time order or ongoing

• If you’ll reorder for new hires later

Bulk orders reduce per-unit pricing — especially for screen printing and embroidery.

3️⃣ Sizes Breakdown

Provide estimated size counts:

• Small through 5XL if needed

• Men’s, women’s, or unisex fits

• Youth sizes (if applicable)

Accurate sizing ensures correct pricing and avoids rework.

4️⃣ Decoration Method

Let the printer know how you want your shirts decorated:

• Embroidery (professional, durable, ideal for logos)

• Screen printing (cost-effective for bold designs)

• Digital printing (water-based inks, detailed artwork)

Not sure? A good shop (like Underground Printing) will guide you.

5️⃣ Logo File

Send:

• Vector files (.AI, .EPS, .PDF preferred)

• High-resolution PNG if vector isn’t available

Clear artwork = accurate quote.

6️⃣ Print or Embroidery Locations

Specify placement such as:

• Left chest

• Full front

• Full back

• Sleeve

• Name personalization

More placements = more accurate pricing.

7️⃣ Deadline

Let the printer know:

• Your hard deadline

• Event date

• New hire start date

Fast turnaround matters — and at Underground Printing, we’re known for delivering on tight timelines.

Why Getting an Accurate Quote Matters

When all this information is provided upfront:

• Pricing is accurate

• Production moves faster

• Fewer revisions

• Less confusion

• Smoother ordering process

We’ve designed our system to make quoting simple and efficient — whether you order online or speak with our team.
