We have other options. Contact us and we'll search through our database of over 1,000,000 promotional items.
Minimums vary by product and decoration method. Screen printing typically requires 48–72 pieces, while embroidery may start at 12. Some items like bandanas or socks can be ordered in quantities as low as 24. Contact us for specific MOQs.
Yes. We recommend ordering a pre-production sample to verify colors, material, and print quality. Samples typically cost the item price plus shipping, and we credit the cost toward your bulk order if placed within 30 days.
Hats and caps can be embroidered or screen printed. Embroidery is the most common for structured caps, offering a professional look. Screen printing works on flat bill or unstructured styles. Full-color heat transfer is also available for complex logos.
Gloves and hats often come in S/M/L/XL. Provide a size chart to your recipients or choose adjustable options like snapback caps or one-size-fits-most gloves. For bulk orders, we can include a mix of sizes based on your specifications.
Standard lead time is 2–3 weeks from artwork approval. Rush orders may be available for an additional fee. We recommend placing orders at least 4 weeks before your event to allow for production and shipping.
When ordering custom apparel accessories, start by matching the product to your use case. For outdoor events or safety programs, choose items like the COB Headlamp or Fleece Gloves that offer utility and durability. For corporate gift bags or employee appreciation, soft goods like the BeWell™ Socks or a branded bandana add a personal touch. Pay attention to material composition: cotton blends offer comfort for everyday wear, while polyester or nylon blends wick moisture and hold color better for active use.
Quality varies widely across accessories. A promotional bandana should have reinforced hems to prevent fraying. Hats and caps should feature structured fronts and adjustable closures for a universal fit. Safety items like the Safety Tee must meet ANSI/ISEA 107 standards for high-visibility apparel. Always request a sample before placing a bulk order to verify color accuracy, fabric hand, and construction. Reputable suppliers offer pre-production samples for a nominal fee.
Marketing directors often order branded accessories for trade shows and conferences. Items like the Retro Specs or a custom visor draw attention and start conversations. HR directors use accessories in new-hire welcome kits or annual employee gifts. Safety managers rely on high-vis vests, hard hats, and safety tees for crew identification and compliance. Small business owners might order personalized bandanas or shoe caddies as customer thank-you gifts or fundraiser merchandise.
Most apparel accessories accept screen printing, embroidery, or heat transfer. Screen printing works best on flat surfaces like bandanas and t-shirts, offering vibrant colors at low per-unit cost. Embroidery adds a premium feel to hats, gloves, and polo shirts but is limited to smaller logos and fewer colors. Full-color heat transfer is ideal for complex logos on polyester items like socks or headbands. For safety gear, reflective heat transfer can combine branding with functionality.
Minimum order quantities (MOQs) for custom accessories typically range from 12 to 144 pieces, depending on the decoration method. Screen printing often requires a higher MOQ (48–72) due to setup costs, while embroidery may start as low as 12. Bulk orders of 500+ units significantly lower the per-unit price. If you need a small run for a pilot program, look for items with lower MOQs or choose a decoration method with minimal setup. Wholesale pricing is available for larger quantities, making bulk custom apparel accessories cost-effective for ongoing programs.
One frequent mistake is ordering the wrong size. Hats and gloves come in multiple sizes; provide a size chart and consider adjustable options. Another pitfall is choosing a decoration method that doesn't suit the fabric. For example, embroidery on thin knit gloves can cause puckering. Always check the care instructions: some accessories require hand washing or air drying to preserve the logo. Finally, account for lead time—most decorated orders take 2–3 weeks, so plan ahead for event deadlines.
