Not Just a Service For Clothing Brands
Our clothing dropshipping service is not just for fashion brands. We work with restaurants, events companies, and service businesses who use our fulfilment services to get workwear and uniforms to their teams at a moments notice.
We will print (or embroider) their clothing, store them in our fulfilment centre, and ship them to their teams. This is great for businesses like restaurants and cafes that need uniforms quickly for new starters and delivery companies with employees around the country (or the world). It’s also perfect for record labels and others who require products shipped to events and venues at a moments notice.
Our service is also great for gifting your customers and staff with branded merchandise.
Whether it’s rewarding customers for referrals, case study content, reviews or even for onboarding, custom branded merchandise can convert customers into brand advocates. For your employees, it can be a great way to welcome new staff, reward excellence and generally make them feel part of something awesome.
Fulfilment vs Print On Demand
We get many requests from customers looking for a print on demand service, but they often find that the restrictions that come with such a setup are too much and restrict their creativity. That’s why we created our clothing dropshipping fulfilment service. It offers greater flexibility, faster turnaround times, and the benefits of economies of scale.
Print on demand offers the distinct benefit of having low upfront costs, meaning you don’t have to risk much money at the early stages of your business. However, it typically means you’re limited to a single print area with no option of any other type of customisation.
Print-on-demand services typically cost much more per unit as you do not benefit from the economies of scale that come from printing clothing in bulk.
This on-demand printing also means it can take several days (or even weeks) for your customers to receive their purchases.
Purchasing your products in bulk means that it’s ready to ship as soon as a customer presses the buy button. You’ll also have more freedom in how your products are decorated, opening up the option for different finishes, print options, and even embroidery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fulfilment, Dropshipping and Garment Finishing
Want to know more about dropshipping and fulfilment for clothing businesses? Here are some of the questions we’re most frequently asked by our customers.
Starting a custom T-shirt dropshipping business is easy with A.M. Custom Clothing. Once you’ve created your designs, just follow the five steps listed above.
In many respects, buying your garments in bulk and using a fulfilment service like ours is much better than print on demand.
Firstly, your customers will receive their orders significantly faster. Most print-on-demand services can take several days to turn around a single order, particularly during the busiest times of the year (like Christmas and Black Friday). With a fulfilment dropship service, the products are ready to ship immediately so your customers won’t be waiting very long.
Fulfilment dropship is more flexible in terms of the types of clothing you can use and the decoration methods available. With print on demand, you’re typically restricted to a handful of cotton garments, a single print area, and only DTG printing.
There is a common misconception that it’s possible to start a T-shirt business with no money by using a print-on-demand service. This simply isn’t true.
Even if you’re not paying to produce stock upfront, you still need to invest money into things like building your website and marketing.
If you have no money at all to invest in your new venture, starting a business selling T-shirts likely isn’t for you.
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for starting a successful clothing business as it all depends on the types of products that you’re selling and who your customers are.
However, with so much competition in the market, it’s important that you make yourself stand out. We’ve put together a guide on how to start a fashion brand that will give you some handy pointers while you get started.
While it’s always best to get advice from a qualified accountant or solicitor about the best legal structure to use for your business, you shouldn’t need to register a limited company to start selling T-shirts and other clothing products online.
You may still choose to do so though if you feel it is right for your needs.
The beauty of our fulfilment service is that it’ll work with almost anything. Whether you’re dropshipping t-shirts on Shopify, Etsy, Amazon, Magento, WooCommerce we can help.
Or maybe you reward your customers who sign-up to your paid newsletter, or start a trial of your software, again we can help.
Because we print your orders in bulk and only manage fulfilment, unlike conventional print-on-demand services, we don’t require you to use technical plugins, API integrations nor do we limit you to any single platform. Meaning complete flexibility and minimal limitations when it comes to custom t-shirt dropshipping.
Print on demand is where your order is only printed once an order has been placed on your shop. We do not offer this.
Our fulfilment service is designed for those looking to take advantage of economies of scale, without having to commit to in-house storage & distribution.
With our fulfilment service stock is purchased and printed on a wholesale basis (not on demand), generally with a minimum order quantity of 25 units. We have over 17,000+ product options available, so in most instances, we can meet your needs.
We provide a complete fulfilment service, providing barcoding, storage and distribution to your customer base, wherever in the world they are.
Our service includes pay as you go pick and pack service, with over 70,000 sq ft of space. With a variety of shipping and courier options and the facility for complete automation, we’re an ideal partner.
In short, fulfilment is where you place a bulk order upfront and then have that order kept in our fulfilment centre. When an order is placed on your online shop we pick, pack and ship your orders so you don’t have to.
