Wholesale blank shirts are typically purchased by screen printers who then print logos and images on them for their clients. Screen printers will purchase large quantities of different kinds of shirts allowing them to qualify for higher discounts. Their clients will then have a variety of sizes, colours and styles to choose from when placing their order.

The screen printer is able to save considerably by paying wholesale prices on the shirts. They can add enough mark up to cover their printing costs, and still make a profit off the client. The client, who is likely a retailer, can then mark the price up further to make their own profit and cover the production costs.

Most screen printers will keep a healthy supply of t-shirts on hand in a variety of styles and sizes, but can quickly become overloaded with too much stock if they aren’t careful. A smart printer will just stock enough to have a sample of most styles for one-offs, and a good quantity of a standard style and size to handle those last-minute larger orders.

In days past, many printers did have to keep a lot of stock on hand and pay to have space to accommodate it. But now with the reasonable rates and shipping times by reputable online dealers like tee-shirts.ca, printers can fulfill their customer’s orders within a few days without the bother of keeping too much stock on hand.

A happy customer is always good business for a printer. Add in great wholesale prices and you’ve got a smart, good business for the long run.
