Exclamation Help!! Need to purchase 5,000 blank white shirts of decent quality under $1

My connection moved locations since my last purchase and I must fill an order quickly. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Doesnt need to be of Pro Club quality but not flimsy as an undershirt either. Thanx

How much under $1 are you looking for?

You may be able to negotiate a deal with one of the mills or a manufacturer (possibly overseas) for that kind of pricing.

Sometimes the major brands (like Gildan) are sold under a dollar from the major t-shirt wholesalers (like SanMar, TSCApparel, etc)

I bought some Gildan whites from SanMar and they are a good quality. I'm looking at their pricing catalog right now and they go for 1.24-1.41.

Sanmar makes their own shirts too so for 5,000 shirts I'm sure you could get a good deal from them.

Good luck finding them for a buck or less. SanMar's label is a FOL from my understanding. Thats not a large enough order to go to the mill with. Call your wholesale rep, he can get you close to that, but probably not under.

What makes you say that? Are you comparing Port and Company to Fruit of the Loom? Or saying that FOL makes Port and company?

I had an idea for some pinstriped t-shirts not too long ago and was told that the minimum would be 5,000. Unless the guy didn't know what he was talking about, I don't think 5,000 would be an issue.

My rep said that PA was made by FOL. I dont know if the fit or the quality is the same, as I havent printed on any FOL t-shirts in years. And my rep could be wrong too, who knows...You can go to the mill with an order of 5K pieces, but I wouldnt expect them to cut you much of a deal, especially on white shirts. It would probably save time (and time is money, epescially in this industry) just to go to his local wholesaler.
