How it Works:

1. You place a bulk order with Real Thread.
‍
2. We print your goods & store them (as well as any of your other inventory) in our onsite distribution center.
‍
3. We gather your individual orders (whether via integration with an online selling platform or through simple address collection).
‍
4. Your goods are shipped out as soon as you need them/as online orders come in!

A plan for everyone

We know that every business is unique—which is why we have developed three standard fulfillment plans designed to meet your unique needs. Have questions about which plan is best for you, or want to inquire about a custom plan? Check out our FAQs or let us know.

One-Time Fulfillment

  • What it is: Not looking to store inventory in an ongoing way, but have a large order that you need shipped to individual addresses? This is our single-use, moment-in-time specific fulfillment service that you can add on to your custom screen printing or embroidery order.
  • Who it’s for: Events, conferences, one-time bulk orders for businesses, etc.
  • Why enroll: Saves you the time and space that you so desperately need when planning for a big drop/event—making things ultra-convenient for you, your team, and your recipients.
  • How it works: We print your items, and you send us any other items or custom packaging you’d like included. We hold onto all of your goods until the big moment, and then ship to individual addresses or to your preferred location.

eCommerce Fulfillment

  • What it is: Selling apparel or other merch online but don’t have the time or space to store & ship it? This monthly fulfillment plan allows you to focus on selling while we handle the storing & shipping pieces of the puzzle.
  • Who it’s for: Online retailers, apparel lines, bands, etc.
  • Why enroll: We connect to your online selling platform & handle all of the backend logistics for you—keeping an eye on your inventory & saving you time, space, and money. When orders come in, we ship them out right away—keeping your customers happy and the positive reviews for your biz rolling in 😇
  • How it works: We integrate with your eCommerce selling platform, print & store your items, and send them out as orders come in.

Swag Fulfillment

  • What it is: Not selling products online but have inventory that you need stored on an ongoing basis? We’ve got you covered. We’ll print, store, and ship your goods (even the ones we didn’t produce!)  as needed, while also keeping track of inventory for you.
  • Who it’s for: HR professionals, church & business admins, marketing professionals, branding agencies, etc. — really anyone who has a need for ongoing swag storage!
  • Why: We handle all of the backend logistics for you—keeping an eye on your inventory & saving you time and space. And with much of the workforce distributed now, we can either ship to individual addresses or in bulk to your office when you need it—whatever works best for you & your business.
  • How it works: We set up an online inventory tracking system & ordering platform for you—and then help you & your team quickly & easily get the swag/merch you need, when you need it.
