Working on a large custom printed t-shirt order? Connect with us! With our 45-year history as a wholesale t-shirt printer and the largest independent print shop on the East Coast, Ampro is a powerful resource.
Bulk t-shirt printing requires concierge-level service. From the moment you reach out to us, we are committed to walking through every step of the process with you; getting feedback, providing our experience, and offering suggestions. Large t-shirt orders are typically for often to promote an important program or idea for your organization- so the stakes are high! Ampro understands that and is committed to the idea of “Best. Shirt. Ever.”
Every order is approached by our team with these two questions in mind:
1. Would I wear this?
2. Would I buy this?
If the answer is “yes!” the next step for a wholesale t-shirt print program is to send you a sample of your shirt with your custom art.
Wholesale t-shirt programs are typically 2,400 custom printed t-shirts or more with the same print. Alternatively, if you have a program with a bunch of screenprint designs that are being purchased together, that is another way to qualify. We routinely run orders of 10,000 t-shirts, 20,000 t-shirts, and even the occasional 100,000+ t-shirt order.

Don’t sweat this part of the process, our experienced team can suggest the best possible product based on how the custom shirts will be used and what kind of marketing impression you want to make. For use outside or working-out, our team will likely suggest a shirt with Polyester blended in; either 100% Polyester for Races and Mudder events, or a Cotton/Polyester blend for more commercial usage. Cotton is the most cost-effective option, though it’s possible to get 50/50 shirts and wicking polyester shirts at competitive prices now that they have become ubiquitous in the United States. Since Ampro is the largest wholesale t-shirt printer in the country, our buying discounts extend through these programs to save you money. Buy direct and save!!
Every large order is price sensitive. Don’t be ashamed to tell us you need the cheapest t-shirt we can get, as quickly as possible. This ain’t our first rodeo. Wholesale custom t-shirt programs require our best possible discounts, and since we’re uniquely equipped to run these programs at our Philadelphia facility, not a penny is wasted in freight or handling. Cheap wholesale custom t-shirt programs are our specialty- though we know “cheap” is a bad word, we feel obligated to use it because that’s how someone may Google it! CHEAP. There, we said it. If you want to start with a baseline price for your wholesale print program, ask for a 100% cotton tee, approximately 5 ounces- we’ll just need to know how many you want, if you are printing both sides, and what color you think the shirt could be. White is the cheapest color though giveaways are often on shirt colors that shout your branding.
Ampro is the largest independent wholesale printer in the country. Can we print 30,000 shirts in a day? Yes, we can and we did. Are there a lot of things that need to align for that to happen? Yes. So, even though our shop is capable of churning 30,000 shirts in a day, typically that needs to be planned in advance. Why? Because we keep our promises to ALL our clients. A promise is a promise. Your huge event is as important to us as the custom t-shirts for a little league’s opening day. We’re here to help you deliver your program early or on time, and still service our regular clients.
1. When is it needed? We shoot to complete and deliver the day before you need it.
2. How fast can we get the goods ready? We keep a trailer load of soft black fashion t-shirts in our warehouse at all times for our concert/tour business, but many wholesale t-shirt programs require colors other than black.
3. How long will it take the get the sample approved by key stakeholders? We’ll sample it for free (at 2400 pieces and up) but connecting with all the deciding parties takes some coordination on your part.
4. How complex is the print? Ampro specializes in full color printing, so most of our equipment is full-color capable. But, low color prints can run event faster- so that bumps our speed up!
5. Is there kitting, fulfillment, or specialized packaging involved? If so, we work through the logistical details with you.
