Pricing  In Wholesale T-Shirt 
Stores
Wholesale apparel purchase is what businesses choose when they need large  
quantities of specific apparel to serve various purposes - promotional events, 
staff  uniforms, or even reselling if they are running apparel stores. Purchasing 
blank t  shirts wholesale is how they get the value for their investment. You get 
access to a  variety of products made of different fabrics from renowned brands 
known for  quality. However, it isn’t easy to decode the pricing components as

1.Minimum Order Quantity or MOQ
MOQ is basically how low your order can be to qualify for wholesale pricing. It  
isn’t feasible for a wholesale supplier to offer wholesale pricing for a customer  
who just purchases one t-shirt. This is why they typically set MOQs so customers  
can benefit from lower unit cost when purchasing in bulk.
Suppose you are planning to get ten Gildan t-shirts wholesale from a supplier  
offering a better price than another supplier you shortlisted. Now assume the  
MOQ of Supplier 1 as 30 and Supplier 2 is 15. You will notice that Supplier 1 may  
have better pricing for 10 ten t-shirts, but supplier 2 offers wholesale pricing if  
you buy 15 or more t-shirts which would put the total purchase value for 15  t-
shirts from supplier 2 almost close to the purchase value of getting ten Gildan  t-
shirts from supplier 1. So essentially, you get considerable cost savings if you  
order above the MOQ depending on the supplier.
2.Volume Discounts
This is fundamentally what we just discussed. An order above the MOQ can give  
you wholesale pricing. An even bigger order will cut the price even further, and  
that is called Volume Discounts. The cost of a unit essentially goes down when  
one orders more quantities of a product.
For example, you get a discount when you order 50 Port Authority t shirts  
wholesale. You get an even bigger discount when you order 100 of those t-shirts  
from the same wholesaler.
Wholesalers generally offer tiered discounts based on units, such as ‘50 units’,  
‘100 units’, ‘200+ units’, ‘500+ units’ and so on. This not only leads to better cost  
savings for customers but also encourages them to order larger quantities. But  
always consider your storage capacity and budget before finalizing order  
quantity.
3.Printing and Customization
Another key element in pricing involves additional costs when going for printed  
or customized t-shirts. There are several printing and customization offers to  
choose from including screen printing, heat transfer, embroidery etc. The cost for  
printing and customization is variable as it’s influenced by factors like design  
complexity, colors used and the size of the printing canvas. Sometimes, even  
similar t-shirts from different brands can have different costs for printing and  
customization.
Purchasing customized Port and Company t shirts wholesale might cost you more  
than buying custom District t shirts wholesale. But volume discounts could be  
better for the former than the latter.
4. Fabric Quality and Type
Pricing of wholesale tshirts is also influenced by the type and quality of the fabric  
they are made of. Organic cotton or fabric blends with higher percentages of  
natural fibers generally cost more than basic cotton. Higher quality fabrics are  
more durable and comfortable. So it’s wise to have an idea of what fabric of  
clothing your apparel store wants to offer and to whom. You can’t buy activewear  
Sport-Tek t shirts wholesale if you plan to give them to executives working inside  
an air conditioned office environment. If you are not running an apparel store,  
you should figure out the fabric of t-shirts that will serve its purpose.
5.Additional Features
Some t-shirts feature tear-away labels or unique necklines. Though they enhance  
the perceived value of the t-shirt, they can also add to the cost. Other factors you
might want to consider is the cost of shipping. Depending on the wholesaler, bulk  
order shipping costs may vary.
Conclusion
To conclude, you will have to analyze various components including the ones  
mentioned in this article to understand pricing structures. If you can find the  
right balance between cost and quality, you’ve also found the wholesaler that’s  
right for you while also providing better value to your customers without  
exceeding your budget.
