Frequently asked questions.

How ordering works, the four decoration methods, garment options, turnaround times, and everything else you'd want to know before starting a project. If you have a question that isn't here, email sales@purechoiceapparel.com or send us a message.

Ordering & turnaround

How does the ordering process work?

Simple: just submit an order directly through the product pages on the website. You'll be able to upload your design and pay for everything upfront during checkout. Once we receive the order, we'll send over a final mockup for your approval before moving into full production.

How quickly do I get a mockup?

24 hours from when we have your logo and project details. We send it via email or SMS depending on your preference.

What's your minimum order quantity?
  • Screen print — 25 pieces
  • DTF — no minimum
  • Embroidery — 3 pieces
  • Engraving — no minimum

Decoration methods

What decoration methods do you offer?

Four in-house:

  • Screen print — best for high-volume, vibrant colors
  • Embroidery — best for polos, hats, premium feel
  • DTF — best for low-volume detailed prints, full-color
  • Engraving — best for hard goods, drinkware, tumblers
Which method should I pick?

Depends on your use case:

  • Polos, embroidered hats, premium staff uniforms — embroidery
  • Event tees, fundraiser shirts, large-volume same-design — screen print
  • Low-quantity detailed multi-color prints — DTF
  • Drinkware, Wyld Gear, hard goods, gifts — engraving

Reach out if you're not sure which method fits your project — we'll point you to the right one.

Can you do multi-color prints?

Yes. Screen print handles up to 6 colors per print location cleanly. DTF handles unlimited colors at a per-piece price. Embroidery handles up to 9 thread colors per design in most cases.

Garments & blanks

What brands and styles do you carry?

Premium blanks on hand include Bella+Canvas, Nike, Next Level, Comfort Colors, Sport-Tek, Independent Trading, Allmade tri-blend, Port Authority, and more. We can source most major manufacturers on request.

Can I bring my own blanks?

No — we only decorate blanks we source ourselves. This lets us guarantee quality and stand behind every order.

Do you have eco-friendly or sustainable options?

Yes. Allmade tri-blend, Bella+Canvas Eco, and select Comfort Colors lines use organic or recycled-content fibers. These are labeled on the product page.

Pricing & quotes

How do I get a quote?

Pricing is shown directly on every product page — no separate quote needed for standard orders. For complex special orders (multi-piece uniform programs, unusual decoration combinations, very large quantities), reach out via the contact form for a written quote.

Do you offer bulk discounts?

Yes. Bulk pricing is built into every product page — adjust the quantity to see the per-piece price at each tier.

Do you send written quotes?

Not usually — almost everything you need (garment cost, decoration cost, bulk tiers, total) is on the product page at checkout. Written quotes are reserved for customers with complex special orders.

Shipping & pickup

Do you ship?

Yes — we use multiple parcel carriers. Tracking is provided via email and SMS when available.

Can I pick up locally?

No — we don't offer local pickup. All orders ship directly to you.

How long does shipping take?

Standard shipping is 3-5 business days after production completes. 3-day expedited shipping is available — prices show at checkout.

Reorders & inventory

Do you hold inventory for reorders?

Yes — for ongoing accounts (uniform programs, regular merchandise). We hold blank inventory in agreed-upon quantities so reorders ship faster than a fresh quote. Ask about the reorder program when you place your first bundle order.

How does a reorder work?

Once you're in our system, reorders are usually a one-line email or SMS: "Need 20 more medium navy polos." We pull from held inventory, decorate, and ship. Typical turnaround: 2-3 business days.

Returns, remakes & quality

What's your return policy?

Because work is custom and made-to-order, we don't accept returns of correctly produced items. If we made an error — wrong logo placement, wrong garment, decoration defect — we remake or refund at no charge. Notify us within 14 days of receipt.

What if I approve a mockup and then realize there's a typo?

If the typo was in the mockup we sent and you missed it on approval, we can sometimes help at a discounted rate but we're not responsible for the remake. We recommend reading mockups carefully before approving.

How do I check on an order in progress?

Email us with the order number — we'll respond with a status. For active orders, we send proactive updates at the key milestones (mockup approved, production started, ready to ship).

SMS & email opt-out

How do I opt out of SMS messages?

Reply STOP to any message you receive from us. You'll get a one-time confirmation and won't receive further marketing or non-transactional messages. Transactional messages for active orders (shipping notifications, pickup ready) may still send until your order completes.

How do I get help with SMS?

Reply HELP to any SMS message, or email sales@purechoiceapparel.com.

How often will you text me?

Up to 4 messages per week per customer during active engagement. Transactional messages (order updates, pickup ready) are sent as needed. Message and data rates may apply per your wireless plan.

How do I unsubscribe from marketing email?

Click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any marketing email. Transactional emails (order confirmations, shipping notices) are not affected and will continue for active orders.
