Fulfillment FAQs
Fulfillment
No, our fulfillment service currently does not include print-on-demand. T-shirts or other items are still ordered in bulk (our minimum is 20/design), then your inventory is stored and shipped safely at Real Thread HQ. You sell your shirts, and let us worry about the printing, storage, packing, and shipping.
You can pre-sell t-shirts before taking on the inventory. You put up a mockup/sample of your product on your website, and then once you collect orders, we'll print the shirts and send them to your customers.
We take your beautiful work of art, digitize it, and enter it into our software. From there, we choose from two types of stitching: Satin stitching (where the stitches move back and forth only and are used for smaller areas) or fill stitching (where the stitching direction can be adjusted to compensate for fabric structure and pulling).
Yes, even if you don't need ongoing shipping of orders but still need to ship to individual addresses, our One-Time Fulfillment is an excellent service. Alternatively, if you do need to send on an ongoing basis but don't have a storefront, consider joining Real Thread fulfillment via our Custom or Pro Custom plan, where we'll create a platform for you that can hold your inventory and orders and will then ship out those orders as they come in/as you need them.
Absolutely, as long as you are a current printing customer of Real Thread. We can ship out whatever items you're selling in your store.
Yes! If you'd like to provide custom-branded packaging for us to send your items in, send them to us, and we'll ship all your orders out in style.
Our standard packaging for your items is a non-branded white poly mailer or a brown cardboard box.
Nope. We offer both monthly and annual fulfillment plans. With the monthly plan, there is a one-time setup cost involved—but if you sign up for our annual plan, we'll waive that setup fee.
