One event. Different reasons to wear it.

Staff & volunteers

Help attendees recognize the people who can assist them. Plan clear identifiers, suitable layers and a size list for the actual team.

Attendee merchandise

Choose a design guests will want to wear beyond the event. Separate confirmed recipients from quantities for giveaways or merchandise sales.

Speakers & partners

Consider a coordinated garment for speakers, sponsors or collaborators. Confirm logo permissions and keep each group’s allocation visible in the order brief.

Build a focused event collection.

Start with a few useful items from our best-selling garment categories. Review available colours, fit and decoration suitability before finalizing the selection. The “Your Design Here” images are placement examples, not finished event orders.

Planning guide

Your event-apparel checklist.

Work through recipient groups, garment choices, artwork approvals and venue delivery before placing the order. Our guide helps you turn the event idea into a clear brief.

Plan from the in-hand date, not opening day.

  1. Set the receiving deadline. Allow time to count, sort and transport merchandise before the event opens.
  2. Separate the recipient groups. Record staff sizes, confirmed gifts and any stock for unknown attendees as different allocations.
  3. Approve one final design set. Check event names, dates, sponsor logos and exact placements. Name one person to coordinate revisions.
  4. Confirm the complete quote. Review garments, decoration, artwork or setup charges, taxes and delivery. Compare the same quantities and specifications.
  5. Make delivery workable. Provide the receiving contact, address and any venue access or delivery-window restrictions.

Garment sourcing, proof approval, production and transit all affect the schedule. Rush availability needs confirmation for the specific order.

Choose quantities deliberately.

Use the selected garment’s size chart for named recipients. For giveaways or merchandise sales, base the size mix on audience information or past event data rather than a universal ratio.

Keep any contingency stock visible in the brief and consider what happens to leftover dated merchandise. A smaller number of focused products can be easier to distribute and track than a broad collection.

Keep the brand consistent.

Ink, thread and different garment fabrics do not always reproduce colour identically. Supply brand references, then review each product and decoration placement on its own proof.

Check how sponsor marks and small text look at the final design size. Multiple reviewers should agree on one final version before production approval.

Burnaby pickup or event delivery

Tell us whether you prefer pickup in Burnaby or delivery to a confirmed destination. Arrange pickup at 2345 Douglas Road after receiving confirmation that your order is ready.

For venue delivery, check the receiving arrangements before giving us the address. If you need individual packing, kits or split deliveries, include those requests so we can confirm whether they can be accommodated and quote them separately.

Corporate event merchandise questions

Can staff and attendees have different designs?

Yes. Send each design version with its garment, colour, placement and quantity. We will review the decoration and setup implications for the complete order.

Can you combine apparel and promotional items?

Include the selected products and quantities in one enquiry. Sourcing, decoration and fulfilment are reviewed item by item; do not assume every product has the same minimum or production schedule.

How far ahead should we order?

Enquire as soon as the event requirements are known. Give us the date the finished goods must be in hand. We will confirm a schedule after reviewing stock, artwork, quantities and delivery.

What should we send for a quote?

Include the event purpose, recipient groups, product choices, quantities by size, artwork, budget priorities, approval contact and receiving deadline.

Can you pack individual gift kits?

Describe the contents, packing requirements and distribution plan in your enquiry. Packing or kitting is a separate request that must be confirmed; it is not included automatically.

Make the merchandise part easy to plan.

Share your event brief, product ideas, artwork and in-hand date. We’ll help you work through the options.
