Who we make T-shirts for

Whatever brought you here, the process is the same: your pattern, your fabric, your label.

You’re launching your first drop

You need tees that fit, print cleanly, and sell, without a warehouse full of stock. Start at 50 pieces per style, split across your colors, and scale the styles that move.

How low-MOQ production works

You’ve outgrown relabeled blanks

Your graphics sell, but the blank sets your quality ceiling, and every other brand can buy the same one. Move to your own pattern, your own fabric weight, and your own neck label.

Private label with Gibben

You run merch, events, or a company line

Bands, creators, gyms, venues, and teams. You need sizing that stays consistent between restocks, labels that look like retail, and stock that lands before the date.

How working with us works

How it feels:
Soft and easy to wear, with a sharp print surface.

Choose it for:
Everyday graphic tees and your core line.

Price position:
The most accessible.

How it feels:
Substantial in the hand. Holds its shape and drapes with structure.

Choose it for:
Boxy, oversized, and premium tees.

Price position:
Costs more per unit, and customers can feel why.

Texture or tech

How it feels:
Slub for a vintage surface, rib for a fitted tee.

Choose it for:
Polyester for sublimation, organic for sustainability-led brands.

Price position:
Depends on the fabric. Shown on your quote.

Still unsure? Send your target retail price, and we’ll recommend a fabric for your quote. More on weights: what GSM means and the streetwear fabric guide.

Fits & Construction

The details that separate a blank from a brand

Fit is the first thing a customer judges on a tee. We grade patterns to your measurement spec and lock construction at the fit-sample stage.

Fits the pattern

  • Standard fit classic retail block, set-in sleeves

  • Boxy fit: shortened body, widened chest, square silhouette

  • Oversized drop shoulder, extended length

  • Cropped & women’s blocks women’s grading availability

  • Custom blocks graded from your reference tee or spec sheet

Construction standards

  • Side-seamed construction, true cut-and-sew, not tubular blanks

  • Shoulder-to-shoulder taping: clean interior, no stretched necklines

  • Twin-needle hems: sleeves and bottom hem

  • Elastane-blend ribbed collar holds shape through washes

  • Enzyme/silicone wash pre-shrunk, soft finish out of the bag

  • Garment dye available for washed and faded colourways

Side by side

A relabeled blank vs. a Gibben cut-and-sew tee

Both are “a T-shirt.” Here is what your customer actually gets with each and what she finds out after the first wash.

Detail Typical relabeled blank Gibben cut-and-sew tee
Body Often a tubular knit with no side seams Side-seamed, true cut-and-sew
After washing Tubular bodies can twist toward the front Side seams help the body hang straight
Neckline Stretches out and ripples Shoulder-to-shoulder taping and an elastane-blend rib collar
Hems Often single-needle Twin-needle sleeves and bottom hem
Shrinkage Varies from blank to blank Fabric pre-shrunk before cutting, plus enzyme or silicone wash
Fit One generic block for everyone Graded to your measurement spec and locked at fit sample
Weight The label and the bag don’t always agree The weight on the label is the weight in the bag
Branding Original tag cut out, yours added after Your woven or printed neck label from day one

A tee has nowhere to hide

It’s the cheapest piece in your line, and the one customers judge fastest. A twisted side seam, a wavy collar, and a tee that shrinks a size: each one shows up in the first wash. Each one becomes a return, a bad review, or a customer who skips your next drop. The construction on this page is what stops that.

Customization

Printing, trims, and branding

Full private-label finishing under one roof your tee leaves the factory retail-ready, carrying your brand only.

Print methods

  • Screen print plastisol, water-based, discharge for washed looks

  • Puff & high-density print raised streetwear graphics

  • DTG full-colour artwork, photo-quality detail

  • DTF transfer vivid colour on any placement, low setup

  • All-over sublimation edge-to-edge graphics on poly bases

  • Embroidery: flat and 3D puff chest hits

Trims & branding

  • Woven neck labels or tearaway / printed-on neck prints

  • Printed care & size labels compliant with your target market

  • Hang tags printed to your artwork, strung and attached

  • Hem labels: woven loop or flat

  • Retail packaging polybags, tissue, custom mailers

  • Folding & barcoding barcode/SKU labelling service

Which print method suits your design?

Start from the artwork, not the method. Find your design in the left column.

Your design Best method Why
A bold logo or graphic in a few solid colors Screen print (plastisol) Crisp and durable, and the most cost-efficient as quantity grows
A soft, vintage, or washed look Water-based or discharge screen print The ink sits in the fabric, so you barely feel it
Photo detail or many colors on a small run DTG Full-color artwork with no screens to set up
Vivid color on an unusual placement DTF transfer Works on any placement, with low setup
Artwork that runs edge to edge All-over sublimation Prints seam to seam, on polyester bases
A raised, textured graphic Puff or high-density print Adds dimension customers can feel
A small premium chest logo Embroidery Flat or 3D puff chest hits that read as premium

It arrives ready to sell, not ready to relabel

Neck labels, care labels for your market, hang tags, polybags or mailers, folding, and barcodes: all done on our floor. You don’t spend a weekend cutting tags and bagging stock. And when your customer opens the mailer, everything she sees carries your brand. That’s the moment that ends up in an unboxing video.

MOQ & Pricing

Minimums that make sense for new brands

  • MOQ is 50 pieces per style; 50 means 50 finished tees, not 50 per colorway multiplied.

  • Fabric weight and yarn set the base price: 300gsm combed heavyweight costs more per unit than 180gsm ring-spun.

  • Print method and coverage affect one-color chest-hit pricing differently from all-over sublimation or multi-placement puff.

  • Wash treatments: acid wash, tie-dye, and garment dye add per-unit processing costs.

  • Order volume unit price steps down at 100 / 300 / 500 piece tiers.

  • Sample cost is credited against your bulk order. If the MOQ of your order is 100 pieces or above.

Planning your order

Start at 50. Here’s why many brands start at 100.

Our MOQ is 50 finished tees per style, split across your colors. One thing changes when your order reaches 100 pieces.

50 pieces

One style. Test a design with real customers before you commit more stock.

100 pieces

Your sample cost is credited against the bulk. Two styles at 50 each get you there.

200 / 600 / 1,000

The price steps, once you know which styles sell.

Common Questions

50 pieces per style. That means 50 finished tees in total, not 50 per colorway multiplied. Unit price steps down at 200, 600, 1,000 and 2,000 pieces.

It depends on the artwork. Screen printing suits bold graphics in a few solid colors. DTG handles photo detail. DTF gives vivid color in any placement with a low setup. Sublimation covers edge-to-edge graphics on polyester. Puff print and embroidery add texture. Send your artwork, and we’ll recommend one on your quote.

Yes. Send the tee, and we grade a pattern to its measurements, confirm the fabric and weight, and match your print. Custom blocks are graded from your reference tee or spec sheet.

Our standard range runs from combed ring-spun jersey at 180-210 gsm for everyday tees to heavyweight jersey at 240-300gsm for boxy, structured fits. Slub, rib-knit, and organic jersey are also available, and we source outside our range against your tech pack.

Side-seamed. Every tee is true cut-and-sew with side seams, not a tubular blank. Side seams let us grade the fit to your spec and help the body hang straight after washing.

No. A front-and-back sketch with a reference tee is enough to start sampling. We build the spec sheet with you during development.

Each sampling round takes 7-10 days for most styles (10-14 for sublimation): a proto sample to lock construction, then a fit sample in your fabric and colorway. The sample cost is shown on your quote and is credited against your bulk order when you order 100 pieces or more.

18-30 days for most styles after your PP sample is approved. Acid-wash and tie-dye tees take 3-5 weeks, and sublimation tees take 4-6 weeks. Shipping then takes 5-12 days by air or 25-40 days by sea.

Yes. We offer acid wash, tie-dye, and garment dye. Each adds a per-unit processing cost, which your quote shows.

Payment terms are set out on your quote, alongside the itemized price for fabric, printing, trims, and shipping. If you need a specific arrangement for your first order, ask us when you request your quote.

Yes. The MOQ is 50 finished tees per style, not 50 per colorway. Tell us the color and size split you want when you request your quote.

Yes. We have cropped and women’s blocks with women’s grading, alongside standard, boxy, oversized, and custom blocks graded from your reference tee.

Yes. Choose a woven neck label, a tearaway label, or a printed-on neck print. Care and size labels are printed to comply with your target market.

DDP availability depends on your market, and we confirm it in your quote. We ship by air or sea and prepare the commercial invoice, packing list, and certificates of origin.
