CONTRACT, WHOLESALE, & RETAIL PRINTING

When it comes to screen printing, your relationship with the service provider will generally fall into one of a few categories— Contract, Wholesale, or Retail. Each option is tailored to different needs and expertise levels. Lets take a look at each of these to find out which category your project falls into.

CONTRACT SCREEN PRINTING

Contract screen printing is designed specifically for companies that sell business-to-business (B2B). Companies that usually fall into this category would be, merchandise management companies, promotional product companies, and apparel decorators such as embroidery shops and other screen printers. In this setting the client is a knowledgeable partner who is able to supply a majority of the project's essentials.

As a contract client you will be expected to provide high quality artwork ≥300dpi, digital proofs, specific printing instructions (like placement and size), and possibly the blank garments—leveraging your own distributor accounts. When approved for contract printing you will be given a price list that includes print price, finishing services, upcharges and sampling fees. With these you will be able to price out all of your jobs before sending them over our way.

CUSTOM/RETAIL SCREEN PRINTING

Retail screen printing provides a complete, hands-off service that makes it easy for you to get custom apparel without managing every detail. This option is perfect if you plan to sell the apparel yourself or need shirts for an event.

At Extreme, we take care of almost every step. We source the right blanks, create visual mock-ups, and provide you with clear pricing. All we need from you is high-quality artwork and the total number of shirts you require. Please note that since Extreme mainly specializes in contract decoration, we don’t have an in-house art team. If you need help creating artwork, we recommend checking out services like Fiverr to hire a professional artist.

WHOLESALE SCREEN PRINTING

Wholesale screen printing is for retail/custom clients who require large quantities at a competitive price point. Whether you're ordering 1,000+ shirts of a single design or 200+ shirts across 5 or more designs, wholesale pricing allows you to significantly reduce costs compared to standard retail rates.

By choosing wholesale, you benefit from bulk discounts on both garments and printing, ensuring the most economical solution for scaling your business or event needs. This option is perfect for brands, merch sellers, event organizers, or businesses looking to stock up on high-quality, professionally printed apparel.

Additionally, wholesale screen printing offers access to premium garment selections at lower costs, maximizing both affordability and quality. Whether you're building a product line or outfitting a large team, our wholesale services ensure cost-effective, efficient production—without compromising on design integrity.
