Merchandise buyers and procurement professionals are often challenged when choosing the right vendor. They need to ensure that they are receiving the most competitive price for the highest quality and the fastest turnaround time. But if they are lucky they get 2 out of 3.

While the RFP is important, it rarely covers the service or even the quality of printing that the company expected when placing the order. Your custom apparel is a representation of you and the connection your buyer has to your brand.

When choosing a vendor you should expect:

➊ Full communication and transparency on where your projects are in realtime.
➋ A commitment to just-in-time printing, so that you get what you need when you need it
➌ Consistent quality
➍ No middle man
➎ In-house creative team
