Short, straight answers to what buyers ask before ordering custom clothing, with a link to the full guide where there is more to say.
50 pieces per design at Velocity Wear, with sizes mixed freely inside those 50. That is low enough to test a design or kit out a small team without buying 50 of one size, and pricing gets cheaper per piece as the quantity grows.
Full guide: What Is the Minimum Order for Custom Clothing? (MOQ Explained) →Yes. Sizes can be split however you need inside the 50-piece minimum for a design (polos and uniform lines run XS to 5XL). Send the size breakdown with your order, or collect sizes first and confirm them before production.
Full guide: What Does Mixed Sizes Actually Mean on an Order? →Yes. Names and numbers can be printed or embroidered per garment inside the same run: send a list of names against sizes, and each piece is made to match. It is how leavers hoodies and team kit are usually ordered.
More on this →Send the product, a rough quantity and your logo or idea using the "Get in touch" form at the top of any page. You get a digital mockup and an itemised quote, can order a paid sample, then approve bulk production.
More on this →It depends on the fabric weight, the decoration method and the quantity. The price calculator gives an instant per-piece estimate, and pricing is tiered: it falls at 100, 250, 500 and 1,000 pieces, up to 35% off at 1,000+.
More on this →Yes. £150 for one or two samples, worldwide shipping included. Place a bulk order afterwards and the £150 comes off your invoice.
More on this →Velocity Wear invoices in USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, AED, SEK, DKK. Your quote is issued in the currency you choose, with freight and landed cost set out so there are no surprises on delivery.
Full guide: Landed Cost: What a Garment Really Costs by the Time It Reaches You →Any setup the job needs — screens for screen printing, digitising for embroidery — is shown as its own line in your quote before you commit, so you can see what it costs.
Full guide: Starting a Clothing Brand in the UK: What It Really Costs →Production at Velocity Wear takes 10–15 working days from artwork approval, then freight to your address. Allow time before that for the mockup, quote and any sample; those steps are usually what decide the delivery date.
Full guide: Planning Apparel Lead Times So You Never Air Freight →Yes. Orders ship with tracked freight to the UK, USA, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand, with landed cost and duty guidance in your quote.
More on this →Yes. Your garment, colours, logo and thread codes stay on file, so a reorder months later matches the original run. That matters most for uniforms, where new starters need to match the team.
Full guide: When to Reorder, and How Much Buffer to Hold →Yes. Garments can be folded, bagged in branded polythene bags and size-labelled at the factory, so stock goes straight onto a shelf, a merch table or into a parcel.
More on this →Embroidery for logos on garments that are washed often — uniforms, polos, caps and outerwear — because it does not crack or fade. Printing for large, colourful or detailed designs, and for tees and hoodies where a stitched back would be heavy.
Full guide: Printed or Embroidered T-Shirts: Which Should You Choose? →Screen printing uses one screen per colour and is the best value for bold, limited-colour designs at volume. DTF prints full colour onto a film that is heat-pressed on, so it suits gradients, photographs and fine detail.
Full guide: DTF vs Screen Printing vs Embroidery: Which Decoration Method Wins? →Yes. Sublimation is the standard for polyester sportswear: the ink bonds into the fibres for an all-over print with no feel on the fabric. DTF also works on polyester for placement prints.
More on this →Vector artwork — AI, EPS, PDF or SVG — is best, because it scales without losing quality. A high-resolution PNG works for DTF. Every design is shown on a digital mockup before production, so problems are caught first.
Full guide: Design Your Own Hoodie: Artwork Tips That Save Money →GSM is grams per square metre, the weight of the fabric. Higher is heavier. Tees typically run 150–240+ GSM and hoodies 280–450 GSM; heavier fabric feels more substantial and drapes like premium streetwear.
Full guide: Towel Cotton and Weave Explained: Why GSM Is Not a Quality Rating →Combed, ring-spun cotton for a soft, durable retail tee, in a weight that suits the use: lighter for events and summer, 200+ GSM for a heavyweight streetwear feel. Polyester or blends suit sportswear and hard-wearing uniforms.
Full guide: Custom Microfiber Towels vs Cotton: An Honest Comparison →Pre-shrunk fabrics shrink very little. Wash inside out at the temperature on the care label and avoid high tumble-drying heat to keep both the fit and the print or embroidery at their best.
Full guide: Lawn Care and Landscaping Uniform Shirts That Bring In Work →Yes. Private label means your custom woven neck labels, care labels, hang tags and branded packaging, with nothing of ours on the garment.
More on this →Yes. With a 50-piece minimum per design and sizes mixed freely, a first drop can be small enough to test demand. A paid sample first lets you check the fabric and finish before committing.
More on this →For decorating a stock blank, no — a logo and placement are enough. For cut-and-sew, where the garment is made to your design, a tech pack helps; without one, reference garments and sketches are enough to start.
