Do you ship orders without New Leaf Graphics branding on the package?

Yes. All contract orders ship blind by default. No New Leaf Graphics packaging, labels, or marketing materials are included in any outbound shipment. The package arrives as if it shipped directly from the trade partner. This is standard practice on every contract order, not a special request that requires advance notice or additional cost.

How is contract printing priced — is it the same as retail?

Contract pricing is structured for trade volume. It reflects production cost without the retail markup applied to direct-consumer orders. Exact pricing depends on decoration method, quantity, artwork complexity, and garment type. Trade partners receive a pricing discussion during onboarding rather than a public rate card, so numbers are specific to their actual order profile.

Is there a minimum order quantity for contract print work?

Minimums vary by decoration method. Screen printing carries a quantity minimum due to setup costs, typically 12 to 24 pieces depending on the job. Embroidery and DTF transfers have lower or no minimums. Trade partners should discuss their typical run sizes during the initial conversation to confirm fit and avoid surprises at order time.

How do we get started as a contract printing partner with New Leaf Graphics?

The process starts with a conversation, not a form or a catalog. Reach out through the contact page, describe your operation and typical volume, and Mike Murray will respond to discuss fit, capacity, and pricing. Most trade partnerships are established within one or two exchanges, with no commitment required to have the initial conversation.

Can you handle both screen printing and embroidery on the same order?

Yes. New Leaf Graphics handles screen printing, embroidery, and DTF transfers in-house, so a single contract order can include multiple decoration methods across different garment styles. This eliminates the need to coordinate with multiple vendors for a mixed-decoration program and keeps the entire order under one production timeline.

Contract Printing | Greensboro

Contract screen printing is a wholesale fulfillment arrangement in which a production shop handles decoration on behalf of another business, printing, embroidering, or applying DTF transfers to garments the trade partner supplies or sources. Print shops, promotional distributors, and corporate apparel companies use contract printing to handle overflow capacity, fill service gaps, or access equipment they do not own. New Leaf Graphics operates confidentially, protecting every trade partner's client relationships.

A busy season run that exceeds your press capacity, a new client order requiring embroidery you do not own, or a promotional company with no in-house production at all—these are real operational pressures that cost money. Every week spent scrambling for a production partner is a week your client relationship is at risk. Missing a deadline or losing a client to a competitor who could deliver is not an abstract concern; it is the direct commercial cost of not having a reliable fulfillment source in place.

Print Shops: Shops that have more orders than press time, need a second production location, or want to offer decoration methods they do not own in-house without turning away clients.
Promotional Product Distributors: Companies that source and sell branded merchandise but do not operate their own decoration equipment. New Leaf Graphics produces the finished goods and ships blind to the end customer.
Corporate Apparel Distributors: Businesses managing branded uniform or workwear programs for corporate clients, where consistent quality and discreet fulfillment are non-negotiable requirements.
Event and Merchandise Companies: Organizers who need short-to-mid-run custom apparel produced and delivered on event timelines, without the overhead of managing their own decoration production.
