Company Stores for Large Apparel RFQs

Large-volume RFQs are rarely about one shirt or one logo. Businesses and organizations may need a complete purchasing program involving uniforms, employee apparel, corporate apparel, promotional products, branded merchandise, workwear, scrubs, polos, jackets, headwear, bags, new hire kits, multiple locations, and repeat ordering.

Inkdnylon Custom Apparel provides Large-Volume Procurement and Request for Quote (RFQ) services starting at 250 pieces. Organizations can submit requirements for apparel, uniforms, promotional products, branded merchandise, specified products, approved alternatives, professional decoration, and fulfillment through one sourcing relationship.

RFQ apparel and products must be sourced through Inkdnylon. Large-volume RFQ projects require a turnaround of 60 business days or longer, depending on product availability, sourcing, decoration, and fulfillment requirements. Rush production is not available for RFQ orders.

Inkdnylon Private Company Stores can extend that procurement relationship for businesses, schools, healthcare groups, contractors, franchises, teams, and organizations that need an organized system for approved products, employee ordering, and repeat purchasing.

One advantage of large-volume procurement is access to wholesale brand sourcing through a supplier-decorator model.

As a supplier decorator, Inkdnylon sources blank apparel, uniforms, headwear, bags, promotional products, and branded merchandise through wholesale supplier networks, then coordinates professional decoration, production management, fulfillment, and repeat ordering based on the requirements of the purchasing program.

Procurement buyers may submit specific brands, product numbers, quantities, decoration requirements, delivery requirements, and other purchasing specifications. When permitted by the RFQ, Inkdnylon can also evaluate approved product alternatives based on availability and project requirements.

This can reduce the need to purchase products, decoration, and fulfillment through multiple vendors. Organizations can instead coordinate sourcing and professional decoration through one system while maintaining approved branding and purchasing requirements.

Available supplier brands may include Nike, The North Face, Carhartt, Richardson, Yupoong, Flexfit, Red Kap, CornerStone, OGIO, Port Authority, Sport-Tek, District, Next Level, Gildan, Bella+Canvas, RothWear, and additional brands based on supplier availability and program requirements.

For many organizations, the value is not simply purchasing apparel or promotional products. The value is gaining access to appropriate products and brands while simplifying sourcing, decoration, production coordination, fulfillment, and repeat ordering. Pricing includes the applicable costs and markup associated with sourcing, service, production coordination, fulfillment support, company store management when applicable, and professional decoration.

For organizations requiring ongoing purchasing after an RFQ or large-volume order, Private Company Stores provide a structured system where approved products, logos, decoration methods, and ordering rules can be managed in one place. This can improve consistency across employees, departments, locations, and teams.

Company stores can support employee uniform programs, staff apparel, company swag, promotional products, trade show giveaways, event merchandise, corporate gifting, franchise apparel, school stores, fundraising programs, and seasonal or scheduled reorders.

Inkdnylon also offers a Bring Your Own Fulfillment option for organizations that already operate an ecommerce store or internal ordering system. Businesses can use Inkdnylon for sourcing, professional decoration, production management, and fulfillment support while managing internal distribution, inventory, pickup, or employee handouts through their own system.

For organizations purchasing at scale, a large-volume RFQ can begin as a single procurement project and develop into a repeat purchasing program. Inkdnylon connects wholesale product sourcing, professional decoration, approved alternatives, multi-location fulfillment, Private Company Stores, and repeat ordering through a purchasing system designed for ongoing apparel, uniform, promotional product, and branded merchandise needs.
