Many of the questions we get start the same way: “It's only a few pieces, is that all right?” or “We need thirty, can you do a better price?” The short answers are yes, and yes. There is no minimum order, and the more you order, the less each item costs. It happens automatically.
How The Discount Works
Volume discounts come off your whole order, not one line at a time:
- 10 to 24 items: 5% off every item
- 25 to 49 items: 10% off every item
- 50 or more: 15% off every item
Different garments and sizes all count together, so polos, T-shirts, hoodies and fleeces add up towards the same total. There's no code to enter. Your cart shows the tier you're on and what the next one unlocks.
What That Looks Like In Pounds
Here are two examples from our polo shirt range, price per polo. The embroidered figures assume a typical 6,000-stitch logo. Embroidery is priced from your logo's stitch count, so we quote the exact figure once we've seen your artwork.
- Embroidered polo: £18.88 for one, £17.94 each from 10, £17.00 each from 25 and £16.05 each from 50.
- Polo with a vinyl logo on the front: £8.87 for one, £8.43 each from 10, £7.98 each from 25 and £7.54 each from 50.
A Worked Example
Say you're kitting out a team of 25 with embroidered polos. At the single-item price that would come to about £427.52. With the 10% volume discount it's about £424.88, a saving of around £42.75. Prices are correct at the time of writing and shown live on the site.
It's Worth Checking You're Not Just Under A Tier
Because the discount applies to every item, a small top-up can cost surprisingly little. Nine of those embroidered polos come to about £169.95, while ten come to about £179.39. The tenth polo costs only about £9.44 extra. If you're at 8 or 9, or 22 or 23, it's worth a quick look at the next tier before you order.
It Stacks With A Trade Account
A free trade account takes 10% off, and the volume discount stacks on top of that. In the 25-polo example, the trade price comes to about £382.39. If you buy for work regularly, the account is worth setting up once.
What We Don't Charge For
There is no set-up fee, and digitising your logo for embroidery is free however big or small the order. We also store your logo and files for reorders at no charge, so when you need three more people kitting out next spring, you don't start again.
Tips For A Bigger Order
- Count everyone, then add a couple of spares. New starters turn up, and a spare or two can tip you into the next tier.
- Keep the colours simple. One or two colours across the team looks smart and makes ordering easier.
- Get your logo file ready. Our guide to getting your logo ready shows what we can use.
- Consider a fixed-price set. If you'd like a ready-made kit for a trade, take a look at our bundles.

Questions
Is there a minimum order?
No. There is no minimum order and no set-up fee, so you can order one item or a hundred.
How do your volume discounts work?
They come off your whole order automatically: 5% off every item from 10 items, 10% off from 25 items and 15% off from 50 items. You don't need a code, and your cart shows which tier you're on and what the next one unlocks.
Do different garments and sizes count together?
Yes. Polos, T-shirts, hoodies, fleeces and every size all count towards the same total, so a mixed order reaches the next tier just as quickly as a single-item one.
Can I get the volume discount and the trade account discount together?
Yes. A free trade account takes 10% off, and the volume discount stacks on top of that.
Is digitising my logo charged on a big order?
No. Digitising is free whatever the size of your order, and we store your logo and files for reorders at no charge.
What if I'm just under a tier?
It's worth checking. For example, 9 embroidered polos at our example price come to about £169.95, while 10 come to about £179.39, so the tenth polo costs only about £9.44 more. Tell us your numbers and we'll point out any easy wins.
