Planning your printed shirts order for Thailand
Timing decides whether printed shirts sell at full price or at a discount in Thailand. Hot and humid year-round with a rainy season from May to October; peaks follow Songkran, the winter tourist season and year-end holidays. For printed shirts specifically, printed shirts sell hardest for spring and summer, beach and resort seasons, and festive weeks; orders for the northern summer are placed October–January. Our lead time is 40–50 days including strike-off approval; digital print samples in 7–10 days, plus sea transit of about 10–20 days, so we advise confirming orders early enough to land the goods before the peak rather than during it.
Typical buyers of printed shirts in Thailand include resort and beachwear retailers, tourist-area boutiques, online fashion sellers and wholesalers supplying summer collections. Around Bangkok and Chiang Mai, they usually order 1,000–1,500 pieces per design, with minimum 3 colourways; digital printing allows smaller runs of about 300 pieces per design at a higher unit cost 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 Thailand
For Thailand we suggest planning printed shirts in two drops, one in lighter fabrics and one in heavier ones, so stock matches the weather rather than sitting unsold.
Sizes: S–3XL regular fit; relaxed and boxy cuts for resort shirts; kids' printed shirts 2–14 years. Colours: Print designs in 4–8 colourways per design; seasonal palettes are suggested for each market.
Printed Shirts made in bulk to your colour, size and design
You are not limited to stock designs. We make printed 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 Thailand 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: Print designs in 4–8 colourways per design; seasonal palettes are suggested for each market.
- Size: S–3XL regular fit; relaxed and boxy cuts for resort shirts; kids' printed shirts 2–14 years.
- Design and branding: your own artwork, engineered to the garment panels, matching of prints to pocket and placket, exclusive designs held for one importer per market and private labels and custom swing tags.
About our printed shirts
Many importers use printed shirts as a bridge product: they add a few designs to a container of basics such as T-shirts and jeans, which spreads the minimums and keeps the shelf fresh without a large commitment.
Printed shirts are the fastest-moving fashion line in warm-weather markets, and designs age quickly. That is why we run small-batch digital printing alongside conventional rotary and screen printing: a buyer can test twenty designs, see which sell, and then reorder the winners in rotary quantities.
Buyer's checklist for ordering printed shirts for Thailand
- Choose rotary, screen or digital print by quantity
- Approve strike-offs against your colour references
- Confirm pattern matching at placket and pocket
- Agree the wash test and shrinkage tolerance
- Decide on exclusivity of the design in your market
- Select swing-tag and size-sticker details
- Check the import and labelling rules for Thailand: goods clear at Laem Chabang or Bangkok with invoice, packing list and certificate of origin; check duty and labelling rules with your broker.
- Agree Incoterms (FOB, CFR or CIF Laem Chabang) and the payment terms: 50% advance with order confirmation and 50% before dispatch against export documents; L/C at sight can be discussed for larger orders.
