Customised clothing means more than a logo on a shirt. On a custom order you choose the garment, its fabric and fit, the colour, the decoration method, where every design sits, names and numbers, and the labels and packaging it arrives in. This guide explains each option, how to personalise clothes for a team, a class or a company, and what an order of customised clothes costs, from 50 pieces per design.

You do not have to decide all of it at once. Send the artwork and the quantity, and the quote recommends a fabric and a method for your design.
Customised shirts and tops
Most customised clothing orders start with a shirt. A customised t shirt is the quickest to set up: a printed or embroidered logo on combed ring-spun cotton from 150 to 240 GSM. Polos suit staff and hospitality, with an embroidered chest logo on piqué, and collared work shirts sit in the uniforms range. To customise a shirt beyond the logo, add a back print, a sleeve mark or a neck label. Each extra placement is priced on top of the first, and the mockup shows every position at its real size before you approve it.
How to personalise clothes for a group
If you are wondering how to personalise clothes for a team, a school year, a company or an event, these steps keep it simple:
- 1Agree one design for the group and pick the garment. A customisable t shirt is the easiest start; hoodies and polos follow the same process.
- 2Collect sizes. Sizes are mixed freely inside the 50-piece minimum, so each person gets their own.
- 3Collect names and numbers, if each piece carries one, in a single list.
- 4Try the logo on the garment in our free Design Studio and download the mockup to share with the group.
- 5Send everything for a quote, then approve the digital proof before anything is made.
For a school year group, the leavers hoodie designer is built for exactly this: one design, with every name added on the proof.
Personalised clothes: names, numbers and roles
Personalised clothes carry something different on each piece while the design stays the same. On personalised tops that is usually a name across the back with a number for sport, a first name or role embroidered on a staff polo, or a list of names on a leavers hoodie. Names and numbers on team kits are often heat-applied or printed; on workwear and polos, embroidery is the usual choice. Send the full list with your enquiry and the quote and proof show how each name is set.
Personalised clothes, or personalized clothes in US spelling, are made the same way as the rest of the run, so they arrive together and match.
Customised work clothing
Customised work clothing has to survive frequent washing and look the same on every member of staff. Our corporate uniforms range covers polos, shirts, hoodies, t-shirts, trousers, aprons, jackets and caps, with consistent colours and sizing across a full XS to 5XL run, names and roles, and woven labels, from £30 a piece at the minimum. For outdoor teams, the custom jackets range adds softshell, rain and hi-vis to EN ISO 20471.
Customisable bags and packaging
The packaging can be customised too. Our customisable bags are custom printed polythene bags for clothing: resealable, with a hang hole, size stickers and your logo printed on the bag face, from 50 pieces. Ordered with a clothing run, each garment is folded, bagged and labelled at the factory before it ships. Woven labels, neck tags and hang cards come under private label, which finishes a garment as your own brand.
Can you design your own clothing in the UK?
Yes. Velocity Wear is a trading name of Spiderhunts Technologies Ltd, a UK company, and production is our team in Lahore, Pakistan. To design your own clothing, UK and international buyers alike send the artwork online, approve a proof and receive the order by tracked delivery, charged on weight and dimensions. There is no shop or collection point. If you want to design clothes beyond a decorated blank, with your own fit, fabric and trims, cut and sew makes the garment itself to your design, with a sample first.
What customised clothes cost and how long they take
Starting prices at the 50-piece minimum are £11 for a t-shirt, £15 for a polo, £12 for a cap and £30 for a hoodie, and tiered pricing takes up to 35% off at 1,000 pieces or more. Each colourway counts as its own design. Production takes 10 to 15 working days from proof approval and the 50% deposit, with the balance due when the order is ready to ship. A sample of one or two pieces costs £150 with shipping included, and the fee is credited against the bulk order.
