Quick Answer

What to know before you order

A practical starting point is one to three shirts or hoodies per person, plus extra common sizes for new staff, replacements, seasonal needs, and supervisors. The right quantity depends on crew size, wash frequency, work environment, budget, and reorder plan.

Construction companies should also think beyond shirts: hoodies, jackets, hi-vis layers, hats, and crew accessories may create a more useful branded program.

Estimate by crew and usage

Quantity planning gets easier when you separate daily wear, seasonal layers, and new hire needs.

01

Daily wear

Plan enough pieces so crews can rotate apparel without wearing out one item too quickly.

02

Seasonal layers

Add hoodies, jackets, and beanies for colder months or outdoor work.

03

New hires

Keep extra common sizes available when staff changes or crews grow.

04

Supervisors

Consider polos, jackets, or vests for team leads and client-facing roles.

Plan sizes before ordering

Size gaps are one of the easiest ways to make a bulk order frustrating.

01

Collect sizes

Ask for sizes before quoting whenever possible.

02

Include common extras

Extra L, XL, and 2XL sizes can help with replacements and new staff.

03

Check tall or extended sizes

Some crews need options outside standard size ranges.

04

Document reorders

Keep product, decoration, color, and placement details consistent for future runs.

Quote details that prevent surprises

The best orders document quantity, sizes, logo file, placement, colors, deadline, delivery needs, and whether the buyer expects future reorders.

Artwork and proofing guidance

Buyers get clearer expectations when pages explain logo file quality, embroidery limits, print colors, imprint areas, and approval steps before production.

Repeat-order thinking

Crew apparel, corporate apparel, school programs, and kits become easier when product names, colors, decoration specs, and reorder notes are captured early.
