TEXTILE PRINTING: HOW DO YOUR GARMENTS GET TO US – AND BACK TO YOU?

Or in other words: What actually happens if you don’t do the printing yourself, but ask us to take care of it?

Are you struggling with managing the logistics of garment decoration across multiple suppliers, locations, and timelines?

Do you wish you could just send in your garments and have everything else handled—without delays, miscommunication, or extra storage costs?

At dekoGraphics, we don’t just handle the printing – we take care of the entire logistics process that surrounds it. In this article, you’ll learn what happens from the moment your garments arrive at our facility to the moment they’re shipped back out – fully decorated and ready to go.

You’ve got the garments – we’ll handle the rest

Whether you need to print 500 t-shirts for your teamwear collection, 10,000 hoodies for a campaign, or 2,000 jerseys for your club: all you have to do is send us your garments. We’ll take it from there.

Free Storage

Ship them on pallets or in boxes – whatever works best for your logistics. Our warehouse is well equipped and spacious enough to handle large volumes. And here’s the best part: storage at our facility is completely free for the entire duration of your project.

Want it even easier? Let your supplier ship directly to us

Especially common with football clubs and major brands: the garments are delivered directly from the supplier or manufacturer to us. No need to store anything at your own facility.

It comes with several benefits:

  • No handling on your side
  • No additional storage or shipping steps
  • Faster, more efficient workflows

Whether it’s jerseys, shirts, pants or merchandise – your supplier sends the garments straight to one of our printing locations, and we take it from there.

What happens when the garments arrive at our facility?

When your garments arrive, we carry out a full incoming inspection:

  • We check the packaging and note any transport damage
  • We compare quantities against the delivery note
  • We check all labels and sorting

If something doesn’t match up, we’ll let you know immediately. That way, delays can be avoided before they even start.

Our decoration takes place in Germany, Italy and Canada

When we say “send it to us,” we’re referring to our in-house production facilities in Germany, Italy and Canada. These are the locations where we offer full garment decoration – with modern equipment and experienced teams who know exactly what matters when it comes to quality.

Storage included – for as long as you need

In larger projects, it's not uncommon for deliveries to be made in stages. Maybe you need the first batch right away – and the rest four weeks later. Or you're delivering to several locations at once.

We’re fully set up for that:

  • We store your goods by project – safely and in a well-organised way
  • Storage is completely free – no matter how long
  • You can call off your stock in full or in parts – even to multiple delivery addresses

Our warehouse system ensures we always keep track of everything – even when several projects are running in parallel.

How we customise picking, packing and shipping to your needs

As soon as you're ready for dispatch, we’ll take care of the full picking, packing and shipping process. Whether you want everything sent to one place or split across different destinations – we’ll make it happen, just the way you want.

A few real-life examples:

  • A club wants all their jerseys printed – but each youth team’s kit needs to be sent directly to their training centre.
  • A brand launches a limited edition across five markets – and we deliver to five national distribution centres.
  • A merchandise partner stores products with us and calls them off as needed.

In short: we make sure your garments arrive where and when they’re supposed to.

All from one place – including communication with your partners

You don’t need warehouse space, a print team, or even your own logistics setup. We take care of everything – reliably, efficiently and with full transparency.

And if you prefer, we’ll even coordinate directly with your partners:

  • Your garment manufacturer or supplier
  • Your logistics or fulfilment provider
  • Your licensing partner or retail network

Especially in international projects, this kind of coordination can save a lot of time and prevent friction.

So, how do you get your garments back?

It’s up to you. After printing, you can choose from several options:

  1. One-time full delivery: Need everything in one go? No problem. We pack your order securely and send it to the destination of your choice.
  2. Partial shipments on request: Running a multi-stage campaign or only need part of the goods right now? That’s fine. We’ll continue storing the rest for free and dispatch it whenever you’re ready.
  3. Multi-destination shipping: Want us to deliver to different addresses – like shops, partners or distribution centres? Just send us the list. We’ll handle the shipping and tracking.

Conclusion: Garment decoration doesn’t have to be complicated

At the end of the day, managing garment decoration across multiple locations and vendors can be a logistical nightmare. Now that you’ve seen how dekoGraphics handles everything—from inspection to multi-location delivery—you’re one step closer to a smoother process.
