What makes these blanks worth decorating

Every garment is chosen as a print surface first. Here is what that means when it hits your press.

Chicago warehouse stock

Inventory sits in our own building, so bulk blank orders dispatch same or next business day instead of waiting on an import cycle.

Low-shrinkage heavyweight cotton

Bio-washed finishes cut post-wash movement, so a sized run still fits after your customer washes it.

Decoration-ready knit

A flat, consistent surface across the print area. Fewer misprints and less time chasing registration on press.

Tear-away neck labels

Private relabeling without a seam rip. Pull the tag, apply your own, ship it retail-ready.

US-based in-house support

A stateside team on artwork, sizing, and freight. One contact from quote through delivery.

Minimums, turnaround, and how ordering works

Everything you need to price a job without waiting on a reply.

01

Blank apparel

Is there a minimum order for wholesale blank apparel?
No. Nexgen Fabrix has no minimum order on in-stock blanks, so you can buy a single blank t-shirt or a full case. Wholesale volume pricing is published and starts at 5 units, which means a small first order and a bulk restock run off the same price list. Shop blank apparel
How fast do bulk blank t-shirt orders ship?
In-stock blank apparel orders dispatch the same or next business day from our Chicago warehouse, depending on when the order arrives and whether it falls on a holiday. Because inventory is held in the United States rather than imported per order, most US addresses receive shipments inside a standard ground transit window.
How much does shipping cost on wholesale blank apparel?
Shipping is free on every order over $300, with no weight limits and no oversize surcharges at checkout. Below $300, rates are calculated live from the total weight and destination. Pallet-quantity orders may route as freight, so contact us first and we will quote the lane.
Can I order a blank t-shirt sample before a bulk run?
Yes. Single units are available with no wholesale account and no resale certificate required, so you can wash-test, press-test, and check hand feel before committing a production budget. We recommend every decorator and brand does this before a first bulk order.
What makes premium blanks different from standard wholesale tees?
Our blanks are specified as a decorating surface rather than a commodity garment. Bio-washed heavyweight cotton reduces shrinkage after the first wash, the knit holds a flat and consistent print area, and every piece ships with a tear-away neck label so private relabeling does not require a seam rip.
02

Custom decoration

What is the minimum order for custom decoration?
Custom apparel decoration starts at 50 units per design and production run. Below 50 units the setup cost per piece stops working in your favour, so we will usually suggest buying blanks and printing locally instead.
What decoration methods do you offer?
We offer unlimited-colour screen printing, standard and 3D puff embroidery, appliqué, emboss, DTF and DTG printing, and private labeling with custom neck tags. Everything runs in house on our own blanks, so a multi-placement job never gets split across vendors. See decoration pricing
How long does custom apparel decoration take?
Factory-direct custom decoration takes 25 to 35 days after artwork approval and payment. Blank, undecorated orders are unaffected and still dispatch same or next business day from Chicago.
Do you offer private labeling and custom neck labels?
Yes. We produce custom neck labels, inside tags, packaging, and retail-ready finishing as part of a decoration run. Our blanks ship with tear-away labels specifically so your own branding can go in without picking a seam.
Do you do cut and sew or custom garment manufacturing?
No. Nexgen Fabrix decorates and privately labels premium blanks — we do not build garments from patterns or develop new silhouettes from scratch. If your project needs ground-up cut and sew, tell us up front and we will say honestly whether our existing silhouettes can get you there.
What artwork files do you need?
Vector files are ideal: .AI, .EPS, or .SVG. High-resolution PDF or PNG works for most methods. We match Pantone colours on screen printing, so include PMS references with your file if exact colour matters to your brand.
Can you hit a rush deadline?
Sometimes, depending on current press capacity and how firm your in-hands date is. Contact us before placing the order rather than after, and we will tell you which production path can realistically make it or whether the date is not achievable.
03

Accounts & pricing

Do I need a resale certificate or wholesale account to order?
Not to buy. Anyone can purchase blanks and samples without a wholesale license or an account. A resale certificate and an approved wholesale account are only required for sales tax exemption on qualifying orders.
Do print shops and decorators get trade pricing?
Yes. Approved Partner Program accounts receive private tiered wholesale pricing based on annual purchasing, priority access to core inventory, and inbound custom decoration leads routed from our network. Your cost is locked at your tier so you can quote clients without guessing. Apply for the Partner Program
Where are you located and do you ship nationwide?
Nexgen Fabrix ships blank apparel from our warehouse in Chicago, Illinois to addresses across the United States. Holding inventory stateside is what lets us dispatch same or next business day instead of quoting an import lead time.
