01
Define Your Size Run
Most decorator bulk orders follow a bell curve — fewer XS/3XL, heavier in S–XL. Ask your client
for a size breakdown before ordering
02
Confirm stock availability
For orders over 144 pieces, confirm available inventory with your account rep before locking in a
client deadline.
03
Request a sample
Always sample a new style before committing to a large run. Check weight, seam construction,
and color accuracy
04
Understand lead times.
Wholesale orders typically ship within 2–5 business days. Factor in decoration time when
quoting client deadlines
05
Review the return/exchange policy
Decoration makes garments non-returnable. Confirm blank quality before decorating.
