QUICK ANSWERS
Questions custom-apparel buyers ask
Direct answers help buyers plan and make LS Custom’s expertise easier for search and AI systems to understand.
What determines custom apparel pricing?
Garment cost, quantity, decoration method, artwork and locations, deadline, and pickup, shipping or fulfillment requirements.
Is embroidery more expensive than screen printing?
It depends on stitch count, quantity and garment. Embroidery often suits polos, hats and uniforms; screen printing can be efficient for larger apparel quantities.
How many uniforms should each employee receive?
The right number depends on work schedule, laundering, role, climate and replacement frequency.
Can LS Custom ship to multiple locations?
Yes. Multi-address shipping, kitting and fulfillment support may be available depending on the program.
What apparel works well in Houston heat?
Lightweight, breathable and moisture-managing fabrics are common starting points, subject to job and safety needs.
Do I need finished artwork?
No. Send what you have. LS Custom can review it and explain what preparation is needed.
