Custom hoodies and swag for startups, from one US partner

Most startups piece swag together from three vendors: a print-on-demand site for the hoodies, a separate supplier for the PR box, and a 3PL to ship it. Teal runs all of it under one roof: design, apparel, custom printed packaging, kitting, and US fulfillment. You brief one team, approve one proof, and get one finished box on the doorstep, whether that doorstep belongs to a new hire, a candidate, an investor, or a launch-day customer. No account juggling, no mismatched turnaround dates, no designer required.

Low minimums, so you are not stuck with 500 hoodies

Seed and Series A teams rarely need pallets. Teal starts custom orders from a low 50-unit minimum, so you can print 50 branded hoodies for the founding team now and reorder as you hire. Every apparel job is quoted to your blank, size run, and print method, and volume packaging pricing starts from $0.44 per unit when you scale the box side. Browse the shop to see the mailers, rigid boxes, and inserts that pair with an apparel drop.

No designer on payroll? You do not need one

Free design help comes on every order: free artwork setup, a free dieline for any custom box, and two revision rounds. Before anything prints, you approve a free digital proof, so hoodie color, logo placement, and packaging all match your brand before a single unit runs. Because production is US-based, standard turnaround runs from about 7 business days after proof approval, with complex or high-volume orders taking longer, plus 2 to 5 business days for delivery. FSC-certified and recyclable board options are available for the packaging when sustainability is part of the pitch.

Kitting and US fulfillment for distributed teams

Remote team? Teal's West Chicago, Illinois fulfillment center handles pick-pack, kitting, and ship-to-recipient, so a hoodie, stickers, and a welcome card go out as one kit to each recipient without you touching a box. It is the same workflow whether you are shipping new-hire welcome kits, conference giveaways, investor gifts, or candidate swag that makes an offer stand out.

Start with a sample, then a quote

See and feel the materials first: order the free sample kit (just $19.99 shipping, credited to your first order). When you are ready to build your drop, request a quote with your quantity, blank, and print method, and Teal prices it to spec with free US shipping.

Production Checklist

How to Plan Custom Hoodies and Swag for Startups, From 50 Units

Use this page to brief Teal before quoting. The strongest custom hoodies and swag for startups, from 50 units requests include structure, size, artwork stage, material target, quantity, ship-to country, and any compliance or retail display needs.

1. Confirm structure and fit

Share the packed product size, preferred box style, insert needs, and whether the package ships directly or sits on a retail shelf. If you are unsure, Teal can suggest a mailer, folding carton, sleeve, rigid setup box, tray, or insert direction.

2. Choose board and finish

Match the material to weight, shipping risk, shelf life, and brand feel. Common choices include kraft, SBS, corrugated, rigid board, recycled paperboard, matte lamination, gloss lamination, foil, embossing, debossing, and spot UV.

3. Prepare artwork and proofing

Upload logos, dielines, color references, barcodes, warnings, ingredient panels, or compliance copy before proofing. Teal checks print placement, bleed, safe zones, panel orientation, and finishing details before production starts.

4. Lock quantity and timeline

Quote accuracy improves when you include target quantity, launch date, shipping destination, and rush requirements. Standard production can begin after proof approval, and sample kits help compare materials before a larger custom order.

For faster pricing, include photos of your current packaging, competitor references, retail display rules, shipping carton requirements, and any sustainability goals. Teal can quote the closest production-ready option first, then refine dielines, inserts, coatings, print coverage, and carton strength after your team reviews the proof.
