/ Sec.02Challenges

What we solve.

  • / 01

    Tight budgets

    School budgets are thin. You need competitive per-unit pricing, especially for large spirit wear runs and booster club orders.

  • / 02

    Multiple stakeholders

    Athletic directors, booster clubs, PTA, admin: everyone orders separately with different needs but the same brand. Consistency gets lost.

  • / 03

    Seasonal spikes

    Back-to-school, homecoming, playoffs, graduation: demand spikes are predictable but intense. You need a vendor who can handle volume surges.

  • / 04

    Age-appropriate sizing

    Youth sizes (YXS–YXL) and adult sizes (S–5XL) needed across the same designs, with consistent artwork scaling.

/ Sec.07FAQ

Common questions.

Do you offer special pricing for schools and booster clubs?

Yes. We offer education pricing with volume discounts that scale with your annual total across all orders. Spirit wear, staff uniforms, team gear, and events all count toward your volume tier. We also work with PO-based billing for districts.

Can you handle back-to-school volume?

Yes. We plan for seasonal surges and reserve production capacity for education clients during peak ordering windows (July–September, December, March–May). Early orders get priority scheduling and the best turnaround.

Do you print on youth sizes?

Yes. We carry youth sizes from YXS through YXL in most popular garment styles. Artwork is automatically scaled for youth garments to maintain proportions. No separate setup fees for youth vs. adult sizes on the same design.
