What BrandPro Offers for Custom Screen Printing and Apparel

By Constance Obi · Culture & Recreation Writer

BrandPro is a supplier and design platform for screen-printed and embroidered apparel

BrandPro operates as both a wholesale supplier and a design-to-production platform for businesses, organizations, and individuals who want custom apparel. The company handles screen printing, embroidery, and direct-to-garment printing on items like t-shirts, hoodies, hats, and bags. You can upload your own design, choose from their templates, or work with their design team to create artwork before production begins.

The platform is built around bulk ordering—most minimums start at 12 to 24 pieces per design, though some products allow smaller runs. BrandPro ships to South Carolina and nationwide, and pricing scales down as order quantities increase. The company also offers a wholesale account option for screen printers, embroiderers, and promotional product businesses who want to resell apparel under their own brand.

Key Takeaways

  • BrandPro handles screen printing, embroidery, and direct-to-garment printing on apparel and promotional items with order minimums typically starting at 12 to 24 pieces.
  • You can upload your own design, use BrandPro's design templates, or request help from their design team before production starts.
  • Pricing decreases as order size increases, and the platform serves both one-time orders and wholesale accounts for resellers.
  • BrandPro ships nationwide including South Carolina, and turnaround time varies by printing method and order size.

How to order through BrandPro's platform

Start by selecting the garment type and color you want—t-shirts, long-sleeve shirts, hoodies, hats, bags, or other items. Then choose your printing method: screen printing for large orders and bold designs, embroidery for a more polished look, or direct-to-garment for detailed, full-color artwork. Each method has different minimum order quantities and price points.

Next, upload your design file or use BrandPro's design builder to create one. If you need design work done, you can request a quote for their design services. Once your design is approved and your order details are set, you'll receive a price quote based on quantity, garment type, and printing method. After payment, BrandPro moves your order into production and provides tracking information.

Design options and file requirements

BrandPro accepts design files in common formats like PDF, AI, EPS, and PNG. If you're uploading artwork, vector files (AI or EPS) work best for screen printing because they scale cleanly without pixelation. For embroidery, you'll need an embroidery file format, which BrandPro can convert from your artwork if needed. Direct-to-garment printing accepts high-resolution raster files like PNG or TIFF.

If you don't have a design ready, BrandPro's design builder lets you add text, choose fonts, upload logos, and position elements on a preview of your garment. For more complex custom work—like illustrations, photo editing, or brand-specific layouts—you can request a design quote. The design team will work with you on revisions before your order goes to production.

Pricing and order minimums

Order minimums vary by product and printing method. Screen printing typically requires 12 to 24 pieces minimum per design and color combination. Embroidery often has similar minimums, though some items may allow smaller runs. Direct-to-garment printing sometimes allows smaller quantities because it doesn't require screen setup. Pricing per piece drops significantly as you increase order size—ordering 100 shirts costs far less per shirt than ordering 24.

Blank garment costs depend on quality and type. Basic t-shirts run lower than premium brands or specialty items like performance wear or vintage-style shirts. Adding a second color to a screen-printed design increases the per-piece cost. Embroidery pricing is based on stitch count and complexity. Request a quote on BrandPro's site to see exact pricing for your specific order.

Turnaround time and shipping

Production time depends on order size and printing method. Screen printing typically takes 5 to 10 business days after design approval, though rush options may be available. Embroidery can take 7 to 14 business days. Direct-to-garment printing is often faster, sometimes 3 to 5 business days. These timelines don't include shipping, which varies based on your location and shipping method chosen.

BrandPro ships nationwide including South Carolina. Standard shipping usually takes 3 to 7 business days depending on distance. Expedited options are available if you need your order faster. Shipping costs are calculated based on package weight and destination. Track your order through the confirmation email BrandPro sends after production begins.

Wholesale and reseller accounts

If you run a screen printing shop, embroidery business, or promotional product company, BrandPro offers wholesale pricing and bulk blank garment orders. Wholesale accounts typically receive discounts on blank apparel and may have access to exclusive products or priority production slots. You can resell finished apparel under your own brand or offer BrandPro's production services to your own customers.

To set up a wholesale account, contact BrandPro directly through their website. You'll need to provide business information and may be asked about your typical order volume. Wholesale pricing and terms vary based on your business type and order history.

When BrandPro works best for your project

BrandPro is a good fit if you need bulk custom apparel with a clear design, have time for standard production timelines, and want straightforward pricing without hidden fees. The platform works well for team uniforms, event merchandise, promotional giveaways, small business inventory, and organization fundraisers. If you already have a design file or can describe what you want, the ordering process moves quickly.

BrandPro may not be the best choice if you need very small quantities (under 12 pieces), require rush production within 24 to 48 hours, or want highly specialized printing techniques like puff printing or metallic inks. For those needs, local South Carolina screen printers or specialty shops may offer more flexibility. Compare quotes and turnaround times across providers before committing to a large order.

Frequently Asked Questions

What file format should I use for my design?

Vector files like AI or EPS work best for screen printing because they scale without losing quality. For embroidery, BrandPro can convert your artwork to an embroidery file format. Direct-to-garment printing needs high-resolution raster files like PNG or TIFF. Check BrandPro's file requirements on their site before uploading.

Can I order fewer than 12 pieces?

Most BrandPro products have minimums of 12 to 24 pieces per design. Some direct-to-garment items may allow smaller runs. Contact BrandPro directly to ask about lower minimums for your specific garment and printing method—they may have options you don't see on the standard order form.

How long does production take?

Screen printing typically takes 5 to 10 business days after design approval. Embroidery takes 7 to 14 business days. Direct-to-garment is often faster at 3 to 5 business days.

Do you offer rush orders?

Rush production options may be available depending on current workload and order complexity. Contact BrandPro directly to ask about expedited timelines and any additional fees. The sooner you reach out, the better your chances of getting a rush slot.
