Choose a company-event apparel provider by process, not slogans
Event apparel has a fixed in-hands date, so the buying process should confirm product availability, artwork, decoration, quantity, proofing and delivery before production begins.
What to evaluate
Product suitability
Ask which garments fit the event, climate, audience and budget. Confirm exact styles, colors and size availability before approval.
Artwork and proofing
Confirm what artwork files are needed, what the proof will show and who must approve it. Names, dates, sponsor marks and event details should be checked before production.
Production timing
Ask when the production schedule begins and which dependencies affect the required date. Product availability, artwork approval, payment, decoration and delivery can all matter.
Quote scope
A useful quote should identify the garment, quantities, decoration, placements and any project-specific services such as kitting or shipping.
Delivery plan
Confirm whether the order will be picked up, shipped to one location, sent to multiple business locations or packed for individual recipients.
