Planning your t-shirts order for Genoa
The calendar in Italy sets the delivery window for t-shirts. Four seasons, with spring-summer lines ordered by autumn; peaks include summer sales (July) and Christmas. For t-shirts specifically, t-shirts sell round the year in warm markets and for spring-summer in cooler ones; promotional and event T-shirts spike before elections, tournaments and festivals. Our lead time is 30–45 days including dyeing and print approval; 20–25 days on stock knit fabric, plus sea transit of about 18–28 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.
Typical buyers of t-shirts in Genoa include promotional-merchandise companies, retail chains and fast-fashion brands, wholesalers supplying street markets and event, sports and political organisers. In Genoa, they usually order 1,000–2,000 pieces per colour and style, falling to 500 pieces for stock colours with simple prints and reorder the styles that sell through, so we keep fabric, size ratios and labels on file for repeat shipments.
Fabric, fit and colour choices for Genoa
Italy has distinct seasons, so we split t-shirts into two ranges: lighter fabrics such as 100% combed cotton single jersey 160–200 GSM for spring and summer, and heavier options such as organic cotton on request with GOTS-certified yarn for autumn and winter.
Sizes: S–3XL unisex and men's; women's XS–XL fitted; kids 2–14 years. Colours: Over 40 stock colours in reactive dye; Pantone matching available on bulk.
T-Shirts made in bulk to your colour, size and design
You are not limited to stock designs. We make t-shirts in bulk in the colour you choose, in the sizes and size ratio your customers wear, and in the design you supply for the Genoa market. A reference garment, a tech pack, a sketch or even a photograph is enough to start.
How it works: send a Pantone code or fabric swatch for colour and we return a lab-dip; send your size chart and the ratio you want in each carton; send artwork, print, embroidery or label files for the design. We make a sample for approval and then produce the bulk to that approved sample, so the order you receive matches the one you signed off.
- Colour: Over 40 stock colours in reactive dye; Pantone matching available on bulk.
- Size: S–3XL unisex and men's; women's XS–XL fitted; kids 2–14 years.
- Design and branding: screen, DTG, heat-transfer and embroidery branding, custom colours matched to Pantone, own neck labels and printed inner labels and oversized and cropped blocks.
About our t-shirts
The difference between a cheap T-shirt and a good one is mostly hidden: yarn count, fabric weight, collar recovery, taped shoulders and print durability. We specify these in the purchase order, and our checks confirm them on random cartons, including a wash test on a sample from each colour lot.
For printed and promotional orders, we can supply blanks and printing under one contract, which avoids the quality risk of mixing suppliers and shortens the total timeline.
