Why We Don’t Require Order Minimums (and How It Helps You)

At 24 Hour Tees®, we believe great ideas don’t always start in bulk. That’s why we’ve made a clear choice to remove the barrier that so many print shops cling to: no minimum custom t-shirt order.
 
Whether you need just one shirt for a special event or a test batch of five for your startup, we’re here to help you bring your vision to life — no volume commitment required.
 

💡 So… What Does “No Minimums” Actually Mean?

No minimum custom t-shirt order means exactly what it sounds like:

You can order 1 shirt or 1,000.

You’ll still get access to our same services:

✅ Instant online quotes with our online designer

✅ Human design support

✅ Fast printing & shipping options

✅ And a friendly team who won’t treat you like a small fish

Most print companies require a minimum of 10–24 pieces. But not us. We work with everyone — from solo creators to nonprofits to corporate teams — and believe everyone deserves access to custom apparel.
 

👕 Who Benefits from No-Minimum Printing?

🔹 1. Individuals & Solo Creators

Want to design a one-of-a-kind birthday shirt? A personal tee for a concert or show? Maybe you’re starting a podcast and want to wear your logo?
You can make one and go from there.

🔹 2. Small Businesses & Startups

Test your merch line, create team shirts for a pilot event, or onboard new hires one at a time without needing to overcommit.

🔹 3. Sports Teams & Events

Last-minute roster additions? Order just the extra shirts you need — no penalty.

🔹 4. Schools & Nonprofits

Not everyone orders early. With us, it’s easy to add a few extra tees for stragglers or late sign-ups.
 

💬 Real Talk: Why Most Printers DO Have Minimums

Most screen printers set minimums because setup time is expensive. Every design requires time to prep screens, mix inks, and test placement.
 
But at 24 Hour Tees®, our process is streamlined. We use a mix of screen printing and direct-to-garment (DTG) to match the method to your order size. That’s how we keep it affordable — and fair to everyone, not just big clients.

Group Orders

If you’ve got time to spare, our standard production is the best value. You’ll have access to a much wider variety of garment types, colors, and printing options—all at a more affordable price. While production and delivery take longer, this option is ideal for planning ahead and getting exactly what you want without paying the premium that comes with rush production. Patience pays off with more choices and lower costs.

Rush Production

Our rush production option is designed for speed—perfect for last-minute events or tight deadlines. While it's our fastest service, please note that it comes with limitations: you'll have fewer choices in garment styles, colors, and print colors. Due to the quick turnaround, rush production is significantly more expensive than our standard option, but it's the right choice when time is critical and you need your order delivered fast.
