A clear plan for every school group

School-wide spirit wear

Choose a small set of approved colours and garments. Set an order deadline and collect quantities by style, colour and size before requesting the final quote.

Clubs, teams & events

Keep the school identity consistent while giving each group its own design. Identify which artwork stays the same and which club names or placements change.

Graduating classes

Confirm the graduation year, artwork and spelling with one school contact. If names or individual details are requested, have the options and costs reviewed before collecting orders.

Choose the decoration with your artwork

Make the size list easy to check

Use one row for each garment style and colour, with quantities in each size. Keep youth and adult sizes separate: a youth large and an adult small are not interchangeable.

Share the exact product size chart with families. If fit is uncertain, ask about sample options before setting your order deadline.

Give artwork one final sign-off

Choose one school contact to confirm the logo, colours, spelling, graduation year and decoration placements. Request a proof for each garment and design variation.

For names or individual details, send a checked list with the corresponding garment and size. Avoid sharing student information that is not needed to fulfil the order.

Planning an event?

Work backwards from the day you need it

Leave time for collecting sizes, confirming garments, reviewing artwork and arranging pickup or delivery. Our event-apparel guide helps you organize the brief before requesting a quote.

What to include in your school apparel request

  1. The group and occasion. Tell us whether it is a school-wide order, club, team, staff group or graduating class.
  2. The garment shortlist. Include preferred styles, colours, youth or adult requirements and quantities by size.
  3. The artwork. Attach approved school or club artwork and describe each decoration location and variation.
  4. The budget and deadline. Share your target budget and required in-hand date so options can be reviewed.
  5. The handoff. Name the order contact and tell us whether you prefer Burnaby pickup or delivery to a school address.

Garment stock, order minimums, decoration suitability and timing are confirmed for the specific order. Review the complete quote and proofs before approving production.

School spirit wear questions

Can we include both youth and adult sizes?

Include both in your request and identify which styles you want for each group. Available sizes, colour matches and decoration areas vary between products, so they need to be checked together.

Can we use different designs for clubs or graduating classes?

Send each design and its garment quantities separately. Artwork changes, colours and decoration locations can affect setup and pricing; ask for the complete combination to be quoted.

Can we add student names or a graduation year?

Include your proposed names or details, placements and quantities in the enquiry. Personalization must be confirmed for the garment and decoration method. Check spelling and assign one person to approve the final list.

How much does a school clothing order cost?

The garment, quantity, artwork, decoration method and locations affect the total. Catalogue prices marked “Blank” exclude decoration. Request a quote before setting a resale price or collecting payments.

Can you provide clothing for a fundraiser?

Tell us the garments, expected quantities and target budget. We can review an apparel order for your fundraiser; fundraising proceeds depend on your selling price and complete costs and are not guaranteed.

Can we reorder later in the school year?

Keep the approved artwork, product codes, colours and previous order reference. Send the new quantities for a fresh check of stock, minimums, pricing and timing.

Can we collect our order in Burnaby?

Include your pickup preference in the request. Wait for confirmation that the order is ready before arranging collection. For delivery, provide the school address and required arrival date.

Ready to bring your school colours to life?

Send your artwork, garment ideas, quantities and required date. We will help you plan the next step for your school apparel order.
