Ordering promotional apparel for the first time can seem complicated. Which garments to choose? How to prepare your logo? Which printing technique? How much does it cost? This guide answers all your questions so your first order with Boite Smart is a success.
Who are the garments for?
What quantity? Quantity directly affects the unit price. The more you order, the less you pay per piece. Generally, prices become very attractive starting at 24 pieces.
What budget? Plan for between $20 and $60 per piece depending on the garment type and printing technique. Basic t-shirts with DTF printing start around $20-25, while embroidered softshell jackets can reach $50-80.
What lead time? Generally allow 10 to 15 business days for a standard order. If you have a specific event, order at least 3 weeks in advance.
T-Shirts — The timeless classic. Perfect for events, teams and gifts. Available in cotton, polyester or blend, in all sizes from XS to 5XL.
Polos — Ideal for corporate uniforms and customer-facing teams. The professional look of an embroidered polo is highly valued in construction, food service and service industries.
Hoodies and Sweatshirts — Popular as team apparel and employee gifts. Comfortable and worn regularly, they offer excellent brand visibility.
Jackets and Coats — Softshell jackets and winter coats are premium investments that last a long time. Perfect for outdoor teams or as high-end corporate gifts.
Caps — A versatile accessory appreciated in all seasons. Embroidered caps are one of our specialties at Boite Smart.
Ideal format: vector file A vector file (.ai, .eps, .svg, .pdf) allows your logo to be resized without loss of quality. It is the ideal format for embroidery and printing.
Acceptable alternative: high-resolution PNG If you do not have a vector file, a high-resolution PNG or JPEG (minimum 300 DPI) can work for DTF printing. For embroidery, vectorization will be needed — our team can handle that.
