Short-run printed and branded scrubs for brands trialling artwork, practices running a seasonal design, or teams that need forty pieces rather than four thousand. Same garments, same finishing, smaller commitment.
Short-run production costs more per unit than bulk, and it is worth it in exactly two situations: proving a design will sell before you commit, and serving demand too small or too seasonal to justify a full run. It is the wrong tool for a core line you already know sells.
Short runs use the same blocks and fabrics as bulk production, so a design that sells moves straight into private label or a full wholesale order without being re-sampled.
No. The garment is the same block, the same fabric options and the same finishing as a bulk order. What changes is the unit price, because setup, artwork and handling are spread across fewer pieces. We will always tell you the volume at which moving to a full run becomes cheaper for you.
Short-run production answers a different question from bulk. These three come up every time.
The pages below cover the neighbouring parts of the same order – the service, the garment and the numbers behind both.
Tell us the artwork, the garment and roughly how many pieces. We will quote the short run and show you where bulk becomes cheaper.
No obligation, and nothing to commit to in order to ask. One named contact, and a reply within one business day.
