Pick one blank to start
Choose one style that fits your customer and your price point. Order samples in the colour and in two sizes you expect to sell. Measure them before and after washing so you can give buyers useful sizing information.
Make an approval sample
Print your actual artwork on the blank. Check fine lines, opacity and placement in daylight, wear the shirt and wash it using the garment instructions. Keep this sample as the reference for your printer.
Order from a size list
Collect sizes in advance or use paid pre-orders to guide your mix. Start with colours you can restock. Keep a small buffer for print rejects and exchanges, and record the garment code, colour and size for future orders.
Check the delivered cost
Use the basket to see garment discounts, VAT and delivery. Add printing, packaging and expected rejects to your own cost before you decide what to charge.
