Corporate T-Shirt Sourcing Guide for HR & Purchase Teams
Step-by-Step Process
Segment team requirements into desk staff (cotton polos), outdoor/field staff (dry-fit polos), and executive merch (embroidered hoodies).
Apply standard B2B size distribution (10% S, 25% M, 35% L, 20% XL, 10% 2XL) and include a 10% safety buffer for new joiners.
Gather high-res vector logo files (.AI or .EPS) with Pantone color codes.
Inspect fabric feel, stitching, and logo embroidery on a physical sample.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many buffer t-shirts should a company order for new employees?
We recommend ordering a 10% to 15% safety stock margin distributed across Medium, Large, and XL sizes during the initial bulk run to avoid expensive short-run reorders later.
