Question 1

What branded shirts work best for startups: polos or woven shirts?

Accepted Answer

Polos are the most versatile branded shirt for startups. They work in office environments, at client meetings, and as team uniforms, formal enough to signal professionalism, casual enough for everyday wear. Woven shirts (button-downs) are the right call when you need a more polished look, like a company event, conference booth, or client-facing team. Both take decoration well and make a stronger brand impression than a tee in contexts where presentation matters.

Question 2

What decoration options work best for branded polos and woven shirts for a startup?

Accepted Answer

Embroidery is the industry standard for branded polos and woven shirts. It holds up through regular washing, looks sharp on structured fabrics, and reads as intentional rather than promotional. Left chest placement is the most common and professional choice for startup logos. Heat transfer is available for complex multi-color artwork that doesn't digitize well for embroidery. Screen printing is generally not recommended for structured woven shirts. The fabric doesn't hold ink the same way.

Question 3

What's the minimum order quantity for startup merch?

Accepted Answer

Apparel and bag minimums start at 12 units: a practical starting point for early-stage startups that don't need to order in bulk. Request a quote and we'll confirm the minimum for the specific products you're looking at.

Question 4

What's the typical lead time for branded startup merch?

Accepted Answer

Lead times vary by product and order size, but most orders are produced in 10-15 business days after artwork approval. Shipping is separate. Rush options may be available depending on the product. Request a quote for specifics on your startup's order.

Question 5

What file formats are required for custom branded merch: vector vs. raster for promotional products?

Accepted Answer

Vector files (AI, EPS, SVG) produce the best results for custom branded merch because they scale without losing quality. PNG and PDF files are also accepted for startup orders if they're high resolution. We'll flag any issues with your artwork before production begins.

Question 6

Will I be able to review my artwork before production starts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Before anything goes to production, our team will send you a digital proof showing your logo placement, decoration method, and product details. You'll need to sign off on the proof before we move forward. Nothing gets printed, embroidered, or produced without your approval.
