Frequently Asked Questions About Apparel Printing
How to get custom t-shirts for a fundraiser?
The process is straightforward once you have three things confirmed: your design, your quantity, and your deadline.
Start with your design. It doesn’t need to be production-ready before you reach out, but having a clear direction on colors, your organization’s logo, and any event-specific text helps move things faster. If you need design help, NY Rush Shirts offers design services to get your artwork print-ready.
Quantity matters for pricing. Bulk t-shirt printing becomes more cost-efficient as order size increases, which is worth factoring in when you’re setting a fundraising price per shirt. Ordering a few more than you expect to sell is generally better than running short during the event.
For decoration, screen printing is the standard choice for fundraiser tees because it holds up well through repeated washing and looks clean at scale. If your design involves detailed artwork or multiple colors without a large minimum, DTF transfers are worth considering.
Deadline is the variable most organizers underestimate. Build in buffer time for proofing and any revisions before production begins. If your timeline is tight, NY Rush Shirts handles rush orders across NY and NJ. Get a quote with your event date and we’ll confirm what’s achievable.
What's the best custom apparel for fundraising?
The best fundraising apparel is whatever your supporters will actually want to buy and wear, not just the cheapest option per unit.
T-shirts are the most common choice because they work across all ages, fit most budgets, and sell well at events. A retail-fit blank from Bella + Canvas or Next Level moves faster than a heavier, boxy style because people are more willing to pay for something they’d choose on their own. The design matters too. An event-specific graphic or cause-driven message tends to generate more participation than a plain logo tee.
Hoodies and crewnecks justify a higher selling price, which improves your margin per item. For fall or winter fundraisers, or organizations with a loyal supporter base, they consistently outperform tees on revenue.
Hats are a lower-cost option that still sell well, especially for walk and run events where participants want something functional on the day.
For decoration, screen printing is the most cost-effective method for larger fundraiser runs. If your order is smaller or your design is detailed, DTF transfers handle that more cleanly at lower quantities.
