Questions about Custom Underwear?
FAQ
Everything you need to know about styles, decoration, and delivery.
What is the best way to place a logo on underwear?
Most clients prefer center-aligned screen printing or DTG on the front panel. This ensures the logo is visible and remains professional through stretching.
Can you print across the entire front panel?
Yes. Because we print on underwear while it is flat, we can accommodate large-scale designs that fill the majority of the front face. Exact dimensions vary by style.
Are custom underwear machine-washable?
Yes. Most of our cotton and cotton-blend underwear is machine-washable. We recommend using cold water and a gentle cycle to protect the decoration and stretch fibers.
Is there a minimum order for custom underwear?
Low minimums on every project — most styles decorate from a single piece, with wholesale bulk discounts for larger promotional runs.
Do you offer samples before ordering?
Yes. We encourage ordering samples to check the quality and fit of the underwear before committing to a larger project.
How quickly can I get custom underwear for a boutique launch?
Standard production time is 10-14 business days. For tight deadlines, we offer rush production services (3-5 days) to ensure your brand is ready for the event.
