Ordering 100 Custom T-Shirts: A Business Production Checklist

September 7, 2026LuxPort Print Co.

A 100-shirt order can support a company uniform program, large event, product launch or organization-wide campaign. At this quantity, small mistakes repeat one hundred times. A written specification and controlled approval process protect the schedule and the budget.

Define one master specification

Record the garment brand or style, fabric, shirt color, print dimensions, placement and artwork version. If multiple departments receive different back prints, treat each variation as a separate line item with its own quantity.

Audit the size breakdown

Compare the size list with the total order twice. Keep adult, youth and specialty cuts separate. Consider whether a small reserve of common sizes is appropriate for late additions or future hires.

Inspect the digital proof carefully

Check spelling, phone numbers, web addresses, color relationships and visual hierarchy. Confirm the design shown is the final file—not an earlier email attachment. A single authorized buyer should provide written approval.

At 100 pieces: ask how the order will be counted, grouped and boxed. Sorting by size, location or department can save hours after delivery.

Set a real in-hand date

Your in-hand date is when the shirts must be physically available, not the day the event begins. Build in time for distribution. If shipping is required, allow for transit uncertainty instead of planning delivery at the last possible moment.

Prepare for quality review

Bulk production should maintain consistent placement and appearance, but minor tolerances can occur with garments and printing. Communicate any unusually strict specifications before approval so the production plan can account for them.

Document the finished order

Keep the approved proof, quantity list and garment information for reorders. Photograph the finished team apparel for marketing and future reference.

Frequently asked questions

Can every shirt have the same design?

Yes. Repeating one approved design is the simplest and most economical production setup.

Can sizes be mixed?

Yes. Submit a final size breakdown before production and identify specialty sizes or garment styles.

Do I receive a proof?

A digital proof should be reviewed for spelling, placement and design details before the full run begins.
